Apropos to today's @tbtl.net: Here's Johnny!

Background: The @lukeburbank.bsky.social and @walsh.bsky.social dolls that were part of a previous TBTL-a-Thon swag were nicknamed Bobo and Johnny respectively.

@lukeburbank.bsky.social @walsh.bsky.social I don't have a fedora, but I do use Fedora 🙃

Absolutely love that @frame.work makes the design and specs for parts and components of their laptops and desktop available and the community that creates stuff based on that.

I got a 3D printed single piece trackpad and wrist wrest in purple PETG.

Mesmerizing and awe inspiring for sure. I remember going up along the Columbia Gorge and seeing them up there, especially when you crossover towards Maryhill Museum and the "Stonehenge"-esque installation nearby

Always interesting to see traffic spiking up when Wait Wait Don't Tell Me does a show outside of Chicago, their fair city.

You know what fits perfectly above the 3.5-inch hard drive in an HP xw4200 workstation mid-tower? A folding, battery-powered travel alarm clock.

You also know what fits perfects below the two 3.5-inch bays (especially with a larger video card of the day installed)? One of two walkie-talkies.

Since I didn't have my usual notebook for taking full show notes, the nearest piece of paper on hand was the @opb.org Primetime mailer for this month.

I had to make sure that my original counts for starting scores, correct answers and total scores were correct.

I've been blitzing through all of the regular #WaitWaitDontTellMe shows from 2006 and January 2007 so that I can take note of all of the segments and expand/correct data in the #WaitWaitStats database. This is what that chicken scratch looks like 😅

Proof of concept is feeling cute, might delete later.

While watching @transportevolved.bsky.social's video about #Ford's "new" EV production system event (w/ extra context), the moment that I saw the diagram, I cracked up laughing and immediately thought of @techconnectify.bsky.social's "pitchfork of knowledge"

For example: Tom Bodett as been a Not My Job guest, guest host, guest scorekeeper, and continues to be a panelist and his panelist details page has links to his other corresponding details pages.

I didn't know that someone marked a certain playground in Switzerland on Google Maps. The one local guide note is just perfect. If you know, you know 😂

Hmm... Wait Wait is saying that this week's show will be the 100th show recorded at the Studebaker Theater. Unless if I'm missing or messed up something, I currently have 99 regular shows recorded there including this week's show. 🤔

Starting to go through previous #WaitWait shows that I don't have panelists entered into the Stats Database. First up is the Best Of show from December 25, 2004.

I have been putting off re-listening through the #WaitWaitDontTellMe shows from 2000 onwards for some time.

I guess it was a good decision since I have 9 Best Of shows (technically 13, but 4 are repeats) where I need to collect panelist appearance information.

Just be careful with the trapdoors that look like the one on the in the left side of this image.

As I was going through the photos from Thursday night's #LiveWireRadio taping, I noticed this little gesture from the guitarist to another member of Kuinka 😂

You are correct, @lukeburbank.bsky.social, that you haven't been on a panel on your birthday (as those shows would've aired on May 10), but there was a show that you were on that did air on your birthday a couple of years ago.

Aw, KDE Dolphin 25.04 got a new icon with a little dolphin in it now.

First image is with version 24.12 and the second is with version 25.04.

I'm not going to lie, but there is something a bit cute about the way this Ironsides, er, Dalek is looking up at Amy and responding to Amy's question.
