Expedition One: Day 2

@TechConnectify with apologies if you’ve seen this particular flavour of cursed before. A regular LED string with clear caps 🤦🏻‍♀️
Friends, it was not the most upsetti spaghetti thing to happen this week. Now it is depresso espresso. Luckily I have something even better than just Flip to cheer me up: the whole gang! They wanted to come check in on you too 💜

If anyone familiar with 80s UK chintz needs cheering up today….

…. Last Night I got Doom running on a Teasmade.

Sitara is stretching our both paws to her American friends and is at the ready for any who may need an emotional support Canadian rabbit, especially with some polls closing imminently... #ToesOutTuesday #USElection
I learnt a couple of days ago about a company which make ‘synthetic users’ for user testing and it has made me quite upsetti spaghetti. I hope it is the most upsetti spaghetti thing this week. Here is an idiot rabbit for serotonin boosting purposes (she’s so silly 💜)
Sorry it’s Monday, here’s a bunny

TIL that my dad used to use a hidden page on the BBC's #Ceefax #teletext service to let my mom know when he was leaving the office.

Cambridge teletext event marks 50 years of Ceefax

An event is marking 50 years of on-demand teletext services, including Ceefax, ORACLE and 4-Tel.

twelve years ago, a painter by the name of anders ramsell painted 12,597 aquarelle paintings of blade runner, shot by shot, of the entire film edited down to ~35 minutes. it took two years of painstaking work, all done in his spare time after work each night.

the video circled around the web for a few years, and quietly disappeared from every single site it was hosted at.

a few months ago i spent a few hours digging for it, and finally found a copy of the original file.

i'm not sure how long it will last over at IA, so enjoy it while you can. it is a true achievement. 🙏
