Ah, the dehumidifier wheels make it easy to boot away.

Whoa, I put my shoes in the dryer, and the kicked the door open, automatically stopping it. Shoe escape!

I put the dehumidifier in front of the dryer door this time.

The guy has marked several things for me to read in our latest Murderous Maths.

I’m trying the washing machine on my shoes because the smelled bad after getting soaked when I had to walk in the rain to get my car from the garage.

I’ve never really watched the washing machine. It has a car wash vibe. What is a car wash but a giant washing machine, really.

Huh. One of the guys that made Noita is the creator of Baba Is You. It says that up front on the developer page, I didn’t notice before.

Also, I’m a fan of two games and at least two bands from Finland, so I guess I’m pro-Finland now. Until I learn about whatever atrocities they’ve no doubt committed, being a nation.

What if this car’s owner turned out to be really nice? Like, he’s an immigrant who loves cryptography but didn’t realize you can only have six characters on your license plate.

What if, man

Painting and washing paint equipment has proved to be the end of the line for this thumb cocoon.

I have primered a wall. I think one wall a day, despite being inefficient, is the way to go for me since I’m really not paint-motivated.

Yesterday, the guy was explaining things he did in Baba Is You to my parents. I’m unsure if I’ve ever seen a situation with that wide of context chasm.

This week, Big Will converses with Micah, Daniel, Cole and Zane from the band Soot.
Young people’s names all sound like the characters from Ninjago to me. Or, I suppose, it’s the other way around.

We still have these drawers from a free end table we didn’t like, so I made myself the World’s Worst Nightstand from them.

Washed 1.25 walls for painting and ripped out telephone cord stapled to the baseboard. Giving myself a virtual kudo, whatever that's worth, because this is not the kind of thing I'm going to be glad I did when I'm on my deathbed.

There needs to be a food container that Wily can open that Bonus can’t open.

There have been a lot of utility apps I’ve wanted to make, but I’ve developed an aversion to being responsible for people’s personal data. I’ve said a lot that I wish the government would provide personal storage for every citizen and that developers could write apps that would use that without ever having to have anyone’s data on their own servers.

Again, that’s not going to happen, so I’ve been looking around for something sort of like that, and the closest I can see is Dropbox. But then you have to make users sign up to Dropbox, and Dropbox is a typical foolish tech company that can’t just be OK with doing the thing it’s good at.

As usual, the shot didn’t hurt. But I’ll never get myself to believe it won’t.

Went to urgent care because I wasn’t sure how long a thumb cut should be bleeding for. (It stopped during the drive over.) Good thing I sharpened the knives!

I think I sat in something wet or damp in the waiting room? But now the back of my legs feel dry.Unsettling!

This is mostly middle-of-the-road established rock, but I’m surprised Greta van Fleet, who are a young Zeppelin clone band made it in. I guess cloning works?

I like Gruesome, a Death clone band, but I can’t imagine enshrining them, were I to create some sort of band shrine like this.

I was going to build a monitor stand prototype with stuff cardboard, but it occurred to me to just start with a monitor the laptop stand. It’s fortunate that I did because I realized that a monitor on a desk this shallow could never work at whatever height it ended up being because it would always be too close to my face. And the monitor I’d get would be larger than this one.

So, I’d have to build or get a little table to sit behind one of my two shallow desks to hold the monitor. And I’d only have room for that in the basement, so I have to think about whether it’s worth getting what will be a de facto “three season” external monitor.

Also, remember when we started calling them “displays”? I’m glad we’re back to calling them monitors.
