I’ve turned into the BadBunny character from SNL who won’t shut up about KPopDemonHunters…

Something fun I want to share with the dubdubdub...

About a week and a half ago, I began developing symptoms related to shingles, primarily intense pain, and was finally officially diagnosed with it on Friday (yay Halloween!) two days after beginning to show telltale signs of a rash.

Bought a Meta Quest 3S yesterday (the black one). AMA.

Is there a list or like a “KNOWN FASCIST COLLABORATORS” shaming website that lists all the companies/organizations who cave to right wing pressure campaigns and fire people for exercising free speech? They need to hear a lot of noise from the 1000s of people who won’t be their customers anymore.

Ah yes, it's hit that moment on BSKY where it's time to review everyone who follows and if it even begins to look like a bot, they get an insta-block.

currently riding the emotional roller coaster created by downing a half-dozen pepsi max and chasing it with a feedbag size sack of sweet tarts in the course of an hour. everything is slowing down. i think i might be in the matrix.

Ya know, it's wild when you realize that WarCraft was originally conceptualized as a video game version of WarHammer that Games Workshop passed on back in the early 90s.

And that StarCraft is just WarHammer 40k.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

@steeber.bsky.social Only now realizing you're the person who built the Glossary a few years back (and I had to dig to find the archive).

Would it be possible to compare notes about this stuff while I'm working on my project?

The Animatrix is free on YouTube in the US right now. It's a great collection of shorts and features material from people that worked on Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Aeon Flux, and more. Check it out if you've got 100 minutes to spare.

Chalk it up to another case of "I have the skills, I might as well try to do a thing I've always wanted to do..." wherein I've modeled up my local Apple Retail Store (Santa Rosa Plaza).

I worked in Visual Merchandising at Apple for six years (during and after college), so this is a big deal for me.

It's difficult for me to express just how satisfying it is to post this image.

For almost a decade, I witnessed in awe how the teams at Apple came up with incredible graphics for in-store displays. Today, I finally leveraged what I've learned over the last 20 years to mock-up something of my own.

As I'm working on securing a normal day job again, I've started playing around and rebuilding my portfolio... Here's the first thing I started mocking up...

Pretty incredible when creatives and artists (see people in entertainment and comedy) start to stand up en masse to tell the powers that be to 'Get Rekt'.

I don't know what to call it when a person wakes up at 4:30am and just starts delving into a project they've had on their mind for a while, but has also lightly procrastinated against starting...

Anyway, I'm playing with material/shape renders today.

Gonna say this out loud (sorta): While I've been trying to get back into Nine Inch Nails due to the upcoming TRON film... It's my opinion that NIN from '99-'14 was served wonderfully by the talents of @rob-sheridan.com, and has been severely lacking since they parted ways.

Did a rewatch of Bullet Train tonight, and I think it easily slides into my top 20 movies that are my sort of BS.

Strangely enough, there's a number of those that also have Brad Pitt in them, such as Fight Club and Snatch. Wolfs might be an addition as well.

I really don’t care about the Sean Combs trial, and I don’t need to know the verdict in real time.

The Senate just passed a bill that expands ICE into a no-shit unprecedented secret police force with more funding than the US Marines, and ALL OF THE CABLE NETWORKS are fixated on Sean Combs.
