Bugonia was a fantastic movie, 5 stars. I even got a T-shirt and they buzzed my hair in the theater room (a first for me)
Alex is seated in a barber chair on a small stage inside a movie theater while a hairstylist trims his hair. Another person stands nearby next to a table covered with hairdressing tools. Behind them, a large cinema screen displays a promotional image for the film Bugonia starring Emma Stone, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. The scene is lit by the projection, and red theater seats are visible in the foreground.

If you think about it, the Death Star was also a kind of Empire State Building

Bluesky can have a bathroom selfie, as a treat
Alex is taking a selfie in front of a bathroom mirror, wearing a black T-shirt with the fluorescent green outline of a Game Boy, jeans, and a denim blue hat with a panda on it.

I built a remote-controllable Game Boy Camera selfie stick / tripod. The game controller transmits over Bluetooth to a Pico 2W that's tucked away in the holder and sends commands to the game over the link port.
Me holding my GBC selfie stick on a rooftop. A close-up of the GBC selfie stick in my hand. The selfie stick also has a small tripod feature, shown here on a table on the roof. A close-up of the 8BitDo zero 2 in teal that I'm using to control the game.

#NWA (am I doing this right?)

I finally had some time to put it all together this evening. I'm so happy with how it looks!
A photo of my new watch, brushed stainless steel with a metal bracelet. I put it together myself from an online kit. The dial is customized with A² so that the "2" is in the 2 o'clock position.

Not sure if this counts as #gameboycamera #gbcphotography but I took this using the @deltaemulator.com Camera app with the Photo! ROM.

Took this photo of my colleague over at his desk from my desk
A bald man with glasses wearing a dark shirt standing at his desk using a laptop with a mouse. The photo is pixelated in 2-bit gray as if from a Game Boy Camera.

Used ChatGPT to render a mockup of what the watch might look like. Ooooooh

I'm halfway into a rabbit hole of watchmaking. I had the idea to commission a custom dial that says A² where the ² is at the 2 o'clock position. Something not entirely unlike this, though I need some encouragement to actually buy the kit to build the thing. www.namokimods.com/collections/...

Went to Astoria Park last weekend with the bf. Sharing a couple action shots of me with the Game Boy Camera
Alex is standing near the side of the water next to the metal guardrail. He's taking pictures on his Game Boy Camera and you can see part of the Manhattan skyline behind him.

He is skillfully balancing an almost empty cup of ice coffee in his elbow as he does this.

La Dulanda Kongreso ĉi-semajnfine en Toronto estis amuzebla kaj ĉeestenda! Mi renkontis tiom da afablaj kaj interesaj homoj. Kaj novajn amikojn faris mi en la Esperanto-komunumon. Ĝis la revido, Kanado kaj Esperantistoj!

Added some slight texturing on the plastic and a bit of a ripped edge on the paper. The LED feels more alive in this one too! 🧑‍🍳🤌
