This is what the Eagle Rock camera looks like now. Caught the Aurora only moments before it was eaten by the fog.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (yes I do it’s everyone) but you’re allowed to have fun with your own existence.
You can enjoy it, make it art, take the piss out of yourself, laugh at and enjoy and be absurd strange little creatures all you want.
In fact I recommend it.

I've never worked on an Atari MEGA ST2 setup before, and I hate working on CRTs. So obviously, this Saturday's noon stream will be working on @kefkafloyd.bsky.social 's SC1224 monitor which has lost its red.

Random but as I’m 80ish followers away from 1000 to commemorate the occasion once that milestone is hit, I’ll unwrap/open this sealed copy of Mac OS 8.0. Big box, too.
I also have a sealed copy of 7.5 but that’s gonna be for a bigger occasion.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
