Well, fuck. This semester has been hellish for me, and I was very much looking forward to a festival this weekend. It's a burn, so not just an ordinary festival. Lots of friends. Happy community. A vibe I feel I fit in.

Daughter and her mother are in Canada with family... with the car I need... and it's dead. Possibly DEAD-dead (maybe it ran out of oil 100km back...). We won't know until tomorrow because Canadians take their holidays seriously and no mechanics are available today, but I am increasingly non-hopeful. Ugh.

Daughter and ex are okay (this is a very happy thing as baseline).

Of course missing the burn is not as bad as the financial hit (thank goodness it won't be a crisis... I think) of either needing thousands of $$ of repair work or even more for a new car, but the burn is the big disappointment now. It was my recharge, my reward for making it through the bullshit.

Perspective: I'm middle-class in the USA. I won't go broke if I have to buy another car (as long as it's used; no way could I afford one of those $50K new monstrosities). It will put a dent in my retirement plans and my daughter's college contributions, but nobody will die or starve or miss a mortgage payment. #Disappointment sucks but this isn't the worst ever.

Perhaps my first set for photos was here: https://epii.info/anime/2011/Lain/

My coolest (IMO): https://epii.info/anime/2016/c2-r2/

And the set that got the most use is this wall: https://epii.info/anime/2014/otonashi/blood-saya-5573 + https://epii.info/anime/2013/oboromuramasa/d8c_6770 + others

(This building spaces sub-hobby has since migrated into #BurningMan and #Neotropolis projects - I don't have a place to do such sets for photos where I live now)

Announcing my next art project: “Can You Read My Lips?”

My first mid-size Burning Man piece: a 14.4 by 5.5 feet (4.39 by 1.68 meters) LED installation that flips the lip-reading experience and nudges burners toward sign language.

I've never attended and generally had approx zero interest in #BurningMan for at least two decades, but I just found out about "the MOOP map" which keeps meticulous track of things to enforce the 'leave no trace' aspect of the proceedings, and the process is kind of fascinating as an unconventional for of GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) : https://www.not-ship.com/burning-man-moop/

The map that keeps Burning Man honest

The event's Leave No Trace principle isn't just a promise — it's measured, mapped, and made public.

🔍 Ah, the sacred map that ensures Burning Man isn't just an elaborate mirage! Never mind the irony of a "map" guiding a festival known for its chaos and spontaneity. Amanda's campaign success story will have you convinced that #cartography can solve existential dread. 🗺️🔥

Not sure if I’m going to keep the Kindle Touch as a backup for myself, but I finally got the Touch jailbroken today with KUAL on it. KUAL was a challenge, and I might post details of how to do it later, it involved finding a mirror site for ancient firmware updates.

But I’m loving these screen savers! The plan is to put two of the old Kindles (once I cover the logos, #BurningMan style) out in the #WeeFreeCommunityLibrary. The Paperwhite is definitely going out as it has a small crack.

My readme asks people to buy the books if they love them to support the writers (they could of course steal copies if they really wanted) and to charge the devices before returning (using an ancient microUSB cord). It’s the modern version of “be kind, rewind”.
