I did a 5.3 mile bike ride this morning and followed it up with a 10 minute walk. The ride was a bit rough since I skipped the last two days due to being ill on Saturday evening.

I forgot about BlockSCAD, which is a blockly interface to OpenSCAD you can run right in the browser. I tested it years ago when I was going to teach some kids about 3D modeling.

Look, I don't know if anyone reads my posts, but I do! Sometimes I dig up things I wrote if I forget them. So it's my notebook, but you can look at it.
This time it's getting & setting the viewing angles in OpenSCAD.
(As usual, if you know more than I do please feel free to correct me!)

OpenSCAD Viewing Angles
Saving viewing settings for consistency...
Don't tell the computer nerds but I've never even played Doom let alone got it running on some esoteric hardware...
I found an old Android phone my daughter had from maybe 15 years ago...? Charged it up then booted it up (which took several minutes) and it's not having it. Tried to wipe and reboot, to no avail.
It says "Event by Kyocera" at boot...
Any suggestions?
@npub120zh...33r2 Stories are near, but still need a lot of work…
Someone emailed me saying “Hey, let’s do a zoom call tomorrow” so the first thing I do is launch Zoom, log in, then update it, then log in again, then make sure it works…
Then the next day I get an invite for a Google Meet. Sigh…
Another attempt at making paper... it turned out really well. I made a larger 3D printed mold and deckle and experimented with adding in bits of shredded paper to the pulp. (See the post for more photos.)

I saw the world premiere of “Run Bambi Run” in Milwaukee last night (with music by Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes) and holy shit was it good. I loved it! See it if you get a chance.
It's been a while since I did an actual electronics project with an enclosure and everything, but a professor in Chicago got in touch with me about doing a small motor control project so I threw something together.

I know a lot of people love them but I’ve been trying to cut microplastics out of my diet.
MOSFET boards have arrived. It's a miracle!
Message from a teacher friend. It’s bad.
It’s important to remember that our Democracy is fragile… just like the octogenarians who run things.
I’d suggest adding a cron job to reboot McConnell every night but at this point I think it’s better to do a permanent shutdown.
Pro-Tip: When I needed hernia surgery I asked the doctor (who was a woman) if she could also do a vasectomy since she'd be "down there" and she said "Absolutely" and I got a two for one deal.
Finally getting around to reading up on the Grove/Gravity/STEMMA/Qwiic options and how they differ. (Opinions welcome!)

So the car I got two years ago is a 2010 and it's the first car I've owned that expects you to have the headlights on all the time (while driving, I mean) and the headlights have failed again.
Is that just the norm for a car that has the headlights always-on thing? My old car didn't seem to chew through them as quickly.
Here's a great summary of Moss Icon:

Moss Icon were a post-hardcore/emo band from Annapolis, Maryland, active from 1986-1991. They briefly re-united in 2001, and are currently ...
My partner has been watching this show called "Catfish" and why didn't they call it "Anglerfish" because that seems more appropriate.
