What's all this about "met gala". I met a galah once.

I took this picture last week because someone went to the effort to populate the outdoor furniture section with plushie animals.
indoor furniture display area with various chairs, tables, and plush toys including gnome and bird-shaped ones; signs with prices 549.99 and 119.99 on tables

Saw this in a hotel and I had to have one. (melody bought me one - we didn't steal it from the hotel). The top is a wireless phone charger.
A hand holding a clock that looks like a block of wood with the time showing on its face. The time says 10:35pm.

Mood.
An artistically stylized picture of daredevil, in his red suit, cowl on, standing in Josies bar with chairs sitting upside down on tables either side. Red light from the street illuminates him from the left.

I feel Benoit Blanc would have an opinion.
Four images in sequence based on the movie "Glass Onion". In the first panel detective Benoit Blanc says "It's so dumb." In the next panel, Howard Lutnick (US Secretary of Commerce) says "It's so dumb it's brilliant!". In the third panel, Benoit retorts "No!". In the forth panel he adds "It's just dumb!"

Me in the morning...
A dry erase doodle of a person looking tired and confused wearing a top with the word "MEOW!" and a cat face on it. A speech bubble says "WHAT?"

I need to get back into drawing again. Even if it is just the pen/pad doodles I used to do. They ground me.
A notebook page with a todo list, with one item which says "laugh". A caption above a shaded biro picture of a pen reads "all the rest can wait... laughter is better than any list"

Got tea, but the sun went away. Boo.
A white Starbucks cup sits on a black outdoor table . The sticker on the side reads venti chai latte, add oat base. There is a cardboard java jacket on the cup.

Hmmmm...
A book with a grey and red cover with the text Gray's sports almanac - complete sports statistics 1950 - 2000. It is a replica of the sports statistics book from the movie back to the future part 2.

A version of the distracted boyfriend meme, with the woman in the red dress labelled "GOP Oversight JFK Probe", the boyfriend labelled "American Voters" and the girlfriend labelled "The Constitution".

Finally unboxed the Tandy 1000 EX. It is running deskmate off of an xt-ide compact flash interface.
A Tandy 1000 EX computer with the keyboard integrated with the computer itself sits to the left of an amber monochrome display. A graphical user interface is displayed on the screen with various apps such as a notepad, calculator and calendar.

Auditioning for the retro-tech episode of hoarders.
A femme non-binary presenting person with purple hair sits in a chair facing the camera. They are wearing glasses, and a grey hoodie top with the nasa logo on it. Beside them, and in the background are a variety of retro-computers, and CRT monitors. The walls are lit with blue and pink lighting.

There's a metaphor in here somewhere. But this is really me seeing how square video capture looks from turtleSpaces, (and also testing a few optimisations).

Loki says hello.
Loki, a tan colored ragdoll cat with blue eyes sits on top of a pink and red knitted blanket thrown over the back of an armchair, with a quizzical expression.

I recently changed phones, and the placement of the wireless charging coils on my phone stand does not properly line up with where they are on the new phone (it needs to sit higher in the stand). 3 layers of adhesive backed foam later, and it works to charge the device.
A wireless charging stand for phone and watch with a flat base, and an upright phone holder. The stand is black plastic. Three pieces of crudely cut foam with adhesive backing are stuck to the base where the phone would sit, in order to raise the height of the phone.

I should have more but here is a grainy terrible photo of ALF modeling my C64 super expander cartridge.
An ALF plush sitting on a tiger print bed cover, with a commodore 64 cartridge labelled "super expander" leaning against his hand. A paper manual sits between his legs.

I just love spline interpolation.
Twenty overlapping strings each with a different color gradient bursting from the center of the screen. Each strand starts off thicker and tapers off towards its end. The background of the image is a darker shade of blue, somewhat like the color of the TARDIS in doctor who.

Melody was playing some music on the electone. So many controls. So solid state.
A Yamaha electone organ with a red wood finish. Various switches, levers and dials control the sound.

Here is an mp4 of it instead. I never cease to be impressed by what can be created with so little code.

The words "hold my trouble alert beer..." printed in the "Data 70" font, upon which the superfriends "trouble alert" font was based.

Do I have too many computers on my desk? I'm happy that I have got the numbers for the USB switch and the HDMI switch to match.

I need to up my cable management skills though. Even with the switch boxes, there are cables everywhere.
A photograph of an HDMI switch and a USB switch on a desk. Each switch has four outputs, numbered one through four, and many cables connect into each. Both switches are small and rectangular, made of black plastic, which is bathed in purple led light from above.
