My Brompton and I have been having fun in New Jersey.

My Brompton and I have been having fun in New Jersey.
Rode me some NYC today. Took the east side greenway to Central Park, then rode back down, crossed the Williamsburg bridge, got some Pizza™️, came back on the Brooklyn Bridge, then off I go back to Jersey via the PATH.
..which is very delayed, so I'm posting this from the train.

Messing with Apple's Image Playground on my iPad Mini. Not bad, especially for on-device processing!

2025 is the year I make my dreams come true... by buying a cassette of The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience. I've wanted this as a child, and I've finally made it a reality.
Am I being over-dramatic about this? Yes, absolutely!
I'll give my impressions once I get around to listening.

I couldn't resist any longer.. So now I'm the proud owner of an iPad Mini. I can't express my feelings of joy through text enough, so just like, imagine it!

I didn't get a chance to reply, but I definitely got the Taco Bell nuggets, and they are indeed quite delicious!

I mention this phone because I made my old one into a "retro camera." I plan on bringing it out for photos, while just having my Apple Watch for phone calls, texts, and music. And if I need to jam to some chiptunes, I can use Modizer on the 5s. Wifi only if I need to get on a website.

iPhone 5s. The best design and size Apple ever had for the iPhone, in my opinion. Easy one-handed navigation and absolutely sleek look. It's rounded enough to not cut, and the button design is classy. I wish Apple still made a phone THIS size specifically. Smaller than the mini even!

This podcast episode is everything. My god. Please listen to the new @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcast because it is an absolute eye opener. Tell your friends! This is what everyone needs to realize for that sweet sweet good urbanism we all crave.

No sound, but I just need to show how neat Nascar on PSP looks.
It looks way less neat with that compression on it after being uploaded to Bluesky..! 😅

Vigilante Coffee was good today! Talked really quick to a person who had a Kirby on their bag. They had a ReMarkable tablet that I had to comment on, and they saw my Brompton and said they also have one! Very good taste!

These are the ones I keep shuffling back and forth on. Playing 2 RPG's at the same time is not recommended, but I keep game hopping..! Tales of Phantasia and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga are pure gold. I've also been playing the hard as nails Mickey's Speedway USA, and Test Drive: Le Mans.

I take to the trails to get to restaurants and work, and if the distance is too great, I'll take the Metro with my bike and enjoy the ride.
While I wish for the ability to reach things like grocery and hardware stores faster, hopefully one day that will happen here! Doing the best I can!

Totally forgot to post the one picture of my Brompton I took when I was in Jersey City. I can't believe I only took one picture.. Shame on me.

Bike lanes and beautiful scenery galore in Jersey City. Closed off parts of road for pedestrians and food. Ah I love this place

Brompton pet carriers! @arjwright.com you've gotta see this! They're surprisingly stable on both the C and P lines. Biking with the dogs is a bunch of fun! They enjoyed it and got used to it really fast. A lot faster than I expected, actually.

I'm addicted to my Meta Quest 3. Holy crap what a cool piece of tech.

A great ride with WABA on the Cider Ride this afternoon! Great energy, and my Brompton once again goes the mile! Biking with a whole squad is so much fun!

Doing a bike ride on Sligo/Anacostia river trail as we speak. Celebrating mental health day by doing what I need to do for my mental health! It's working too. I feel a LOT better than I did earlier.

My friend just got an ebike, which has turned him from a person who hangs out primarily in his car to someone who cannot stop riding the bike unless the battery ran out. It's amazing. I've been catching him up on the various paths around the Silver Spring, MD area.

I made my way to downtown Frederick Maryland to check out the walkway by a little stream which was nice. Downtown Frederick is soooo close to being good. But 2 lane traffic going the same way through the downtown? Why? Whyyyyy? And turn on red is allowed? I'm so disappointed in Frederick.
