Baby falcon chick updates: getting flight feathers, being coaxed onto the ledge by mom to eventually get more flapping/hovering practice.

Two girls, two boys this year. Slowly losing the fluff.

Someone's reaction to Bungie announcing that Marathon 2 would be ported to Windows 95 (May, 1996 - via marathon.bungie.org/story/newmar...).

Year three of watching the peregrine couple near my apartment and it's hard to explain how much joy they bring me. They're goofy at times but mostly very regal and loaf-shaped.

Ah, it's peregrine falcon nestwatch time of the year again.

Mom has another four this year (last year one didn't hatch). It's nice to see the birds in their scrape. falcons.hamiltonnature.org?wide

I’ve been on a Limp Bizkit kick the last couple days and I’m realizing that Wes Borland really doesn’t get enough credit as a really sick guitarist. Block Durst out the next time you listen to a song and see.

Dude personifies “not ‘marketable’ weird, but still gonna be fucking talented anyways.”

Got my first pinball Billion today; the satisfaction of getting to know a table and getting better at landing shots consistently is very much akin to fighting games.

Finally got that "S", hell yeah.

From the coach's end, they're often not trained, and may not be considering the extra skillset needed to nuture people effectively.

Part of this was looking at the student's need for emotional validation, and the difficulties they have being aware of that need, communicating it, or accepting a lack of it.

Community teaches community in the FGC, and it's been something I've enjoyed exploring through #StreetFighter6.

I wrote on the complicated student-mentor dynamic, Survivorship Bias, and emotional context. I'm really happy with it. Shares are appreciated.

Decided to re-read Dark Knight Returns, and had a good time. Thought "hey, I wonder if Dark Knight Strikes Again is as weird as I remember it?"
