Throwing on the stream for the hell of it to try working on a side project for an hour or so. Testing out the newly rearranged couch rig. twitch.tv/lmorchard

My first "after dark" side project stream was more productive than I expected! Turns out my gaming PC is way more happy streaming than my laptop.

(Also maybe calling it an "after dark" stream is setting folks up for disappointment.)

Also, my WHEEL OF SIDE PROJECTS is actually working on Glitch and it spins & picks things when I click the button!

wheel-of-side-projects.glitch.

@ed_packet If you're interested in tinkering with it, you can remix your own copy of it on Glitch and edit public/items.txt with your own project ideas :) glitch.com/edit/#!/remix/wheel

@zcampau @ed_packet It's a neat space for spinning up and tinkering with sharable projects.

@anildash and @jenn are doing really keen things with it.

Windows 2000 emulated by way of WebAssembly. You maniacs, you really did it.

Fancy bear is a really cute name for a hacking group

Today's nextdoor conversation in my neighborhood is pondering whether smart meters cause cancer due to RF ~radiation~

Not liking the new gmail interface. Among other grumpiness, I picked a dark theme that still somehow has a REALLY BRIGHT EYEHURTY BLUE when I select a bunch of messages.

@migurski White folks are not the majority in my neighborhood, so it's refreshingly not that usually

@lnxw48a1 I disagree! Let's argue about this!

(just kidding)

Okay, now someone on nextdoor is complaining about the squirrel population in my tree-dense neighborhood.

I'm tempted to troll the thread wondering if smart meter ~radiation~ will deter squirrel proliferation

@pounce thoughts & prayers on avoiding the "well actually"s

@pounce ohgodno

Now on my nextdoor: "Top post: Do you know these dogs??"

I'm trying not to make this account Best of Nextdoor, but the place really seems to be jumping in my inbox today

@darius Holy crap, congrats and welcome aboard! I work at Mozilla and this makes me happy!

@bdimcheff @csalzman I'm seeing it kind of like back in the days of dial-up BBSes - did my rounds calling the half-dozen or so boards on which I had accounts. They're all a little different, even if they have a venn diagram overlap of people

welp, i guess instead of cyberpunk 2077 i'll just buy more games on itch

@Elizafox nice cushy clicky springs, my precious

@cjwyoming self-boost, the ultimate in self-care

@embereye Welcome!

@Gargron You can't look away from this monster you helped create, Dr. Frankenstein

@mod well now that's stuck in my head

@Elizafox joke's on you, all we own is candy glass because we are amateur stuntpeople
