What's your reaction?.

Maybe I'm the only one but upgrade messages immediately cause me to wonder what they broke or what new way they're exploiting my personal information, never "oh boy, an improved feature!"

Hoppy #RoosDay!

Couple quick examples of exactly how overpriced pro video stuff is, for context when I complain. Like how do we end up in a universe where a *tripod* costs as much as a good used car?. Guess I need to get into manufacturing pro video equipment. >.>

Fellow nerds: Can anyone recommend a GPS+4G setup for Raspberry Pi (or just USB/Linux)? It seems none of them actually come with RF modules anymore but maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

There's something weirdly therapeutic about vibing to 70s adult contemporary music on a slow night, looking down to your foot tapping to the music, and realizing you just casually pushed a few buttons and now are a virtual animal on a global network of friends.

RT @WarEffortgaming: It's getting hot

I don't know why, but somehow it skated right past me that Judy Hopps' neighbors were a canonically gay couple, Bucky and Pronk Oryx-Antlerson.

RT @DiscussingFilm: ‘COYOTE VS ACME’ will have a panel at SDCC. (Source:

For some reason I got to thinking tonight about how being told people love me makes me uncomfortable, which led to wondering if I should put that in a profile somewhere, which led - inevitably - to 80s rock. (Honorable mention to Billy Squire too.).

RT @xLeafyon: Prints ready for Anthrocon :3

Happy Canada Day / #RoosDay !. I'll aim for a (late) US Independence Day theme next time around. Couple more photos in the reply.

Glitch in the matrix identified :P. Adjacent Morton and Stevens counties, in Kansas, and the guy "Morton Stevens" who composed the Hawaii Five-O theme music.

Though on the plus side, at least it's Roos' Day. >.>.

Multiple out-of-my-control-ish RL volunteer task setbacks are hitting at once, combined with a depressing milestone in the unemployment journey so now I'm kicking off the week weirdly full of "can't do anything right" mental energy.🙄.Anyone have suggestions on dealing with that?.

I got it cheap since it "didn't work" but turns out only the analog side is dead. Will hopefully have time to crack it open next week which brings me to question 2: Do service manuals exist for these? Or do I get to dust off the ol' circuit tracing skills?.

Question for the electronics nerds and DJ friends, I picked up a pretty nice Denon X1800 mixer (stock photo below) whose OLED display (mid/upper right) is super burned. Does anyone know of a good place for sourcing [cheap] displays or other parts?

Good news: With humidity down again, I managed a 50km bike ride today. Bad news: In hurriedly wiping sunscreen on my face I missed the area under my nose and around my upper lip. So after ~3 hours in the sun, that's going to sting for a bit. :|.
