I'm a 40 year old Jack Of All Trades, still trying to make a place for myself in the world. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.

I have just delivered two Oscar nomination worthy performances, in the category of pretending to be a functional and competent middle aged man, rather than a hermited deviant on the fringe of society.

In other words, two more interviews done. I deserve a treat.

Happy Earth Day.
The human-powered handcart is the oldest of vehicles, and it will likely be the last one around in the future. Of all vehicles, it’s the cheapest and least complex to build and use.

I don't procrastinate.
I just wait until panic improves my focus.
I need more of Rocky (PHM) in my life. Just permanently.
I need to craft one of these from foam for my bike.

The way my brain works:

1970 was 30 years ago
1980 was 20 years ago
1990 was 10 years ago
1995 was 10 years ago
2000 was 10 years ago
2010 was 10 years ago
2015 was 5 years ago
2017 never happened
2018 was two years ago
2019 was last year
2020 was also last year
2021 was a few months ago

I just read about Artemis II's impromptu Easter dehydrated egg hunt and it prompted the question in my mind.

Would a chocolate easter egg (Hollow, your average one from the supermarket), survive the G forces of being launched into space, or would it crumble?

Upgrades, people, upgrades!

One factor that has eluded me somewhat in my entry into motorcycling, is luggage. Beyond a backpack and what little space available beneath my seat, there wasn't any way of say quickly packing away...

Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™.

Opening the door for AI bullshit is not even the worst part of this idea.

Folks, all of us here ARE the algorithm. Personal curation is a feature, not a bug.

We make Mastodon awesome by following people and boosting what we find meaningful, significant or just cool. That's how it works.

Let's keep making friends. Let's keep sharing. Let's keep Mastodon alive. Together. 💖
