I write code and make music and one day will make a movie

I made an app to give you post notifications on bluesky: @bluenotify.app
Pinned
Finally finished the video!

I'm going to have a baby soon, but I don't know how to take care of babies. So I made a simulator to learn from the public how to keep a baby alive.

Thanks everybody for checking out the wrapped! I figured maybe a dozen people would see it, but instead it was 500!

Seeing people *actually* use it makes me feel much less guilty about all of the time I spent on it

I'm a programmer and I'm bored

ask me tech questions and I will answer in 3 words with either the real answer or a lie but I won't tell you which

Bluesky Nerdfighteria Wrapped coming soon. I had to sift through a LOT of data for this

Somebody should tell @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social about the Dr pepper baby jingle on TikTok if he hasn't heard it yet

TikTok is literally trying to sell me a swastika necklace what the fuck is happening

There's this Swedish guy named Max Martin that wrote I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys. He somewhat famously didn't know english very well and just wrote lyrics that felt good to sing. Later they rerecorded with lyrics that made sense but it was way less popular

Skyler doesn't know what Daniel Craig sounds like outside of Knives Out and I think that's incredible

It's crazy that Jurassic World had to make mutants like indominus rex and indoraptor when they could have just used an allosaurus

Famously the most coked out and aggressive dinosaur

You could write almost any crazy behavior and the dino community would go "yeah they probably did that"

Last night I discovered that in Letterboxd if you shake your phone after midnight, gremlins appear

It was much more alarming as I was falling asleep

We walked into a restaurant that has this horse lamp and it immediately had me bewitched, body and soul

Birds are by definition dinosaurs, which means that dinosaur chicken nuggets are technically made of actual dinosaur meat

Babies are like campfires in that when a bunch of people are around one, it's totally socially acceptable to go spend an extended period of time silent and dissociating while staring at it

Does everybody constantly think about the triangle shirtwaist factory fire or is it just me

Whoever invented the soft spot on a baby's head: bad call, that's horrible and I don't like it

The Nerdfighteria feed runs through cloudflare lol

So sorry if that's been intermittently broken for anybody, this is the one time I can say it's not my fault

The Internet used to be decentralized but now every couple months a company can screw up and a substantial fraction of the internet goes down

AWS, Azure, Cloudflare

If we're placing bets I'm putting my money on Google Cloud going down next week

These are some of the coolest pictures I've ever seen

The photographer had to coordinate with somebody to skydive at the exact right time and place to photograph them in front of the sun
