My Arcimoto FUV was decked out for last night’s Parade of Lights in Virginia City. Some different lighting patterns will be used for next week’s sequel.

Talked for a while today with a man getting into sim racing. He’d just got a cockpit rig and all the gear so now was ready to add speakers and learn about how to get the software, as he was not computer savvy, but was quite keen to get some historic cars. He was 94 years old.

On our driveway this morning: Wings, feathers, some guts, bird poop, and an owl pellet to identify the culprit. I thought @duolingoverde.bsky.social ’s Duo was leaving a rather intense message. “Do a lesson today — or else!”

Like @gplaps.bsky.social , I almost exclusively drive historic cars in sim racing. Ten years ago, that even applied to a league-produced rFactor mod of early-1980s Outlaw Dirt Late Models with their giant Lexan airfoils. youtu.be/KT9G1RxOOVw?...

Earlier this summer. Didn’t realize I was holding the iPad upside-down so finger got in the shot. Couple of us Arcimoto FUVs with south Reno, Nevada, in the background below.

A little internet history lesson thrown in as I recall the time in 1998 when on a whim I made history by providing the first live commentary over the internet from Laguna Seca at the U.S. Grand Prix of the SBK Superbikes World Championship. youtu.be/itRZXepiLQA?...

The makers of Flamecraft Duals are looking to name the game’s dragons. I wonder if my suggestion of Soupy Scales for this one is a bit too dated of a reference for them…

Coworker told me this morning he was worried he wouldn’t make it in because his dad left little fuel in the tank last night, and he didn’t have time to stop for gas. He called a family member to bring a filled gas can so he could get home. Glad I have an EV so I don’t have range anxiety.

Nostalgia. Over 23 years ago, I created the music (and the laugh) for Federica Giulietti (a.k.a. Jane Fade Merrick)’s animated title sequence of a cartoon series concept of hers about an alien cat and its mischievous ‘shadow’ befriending a group of strays. youtu.be/7GVCgl4GFk8?...
