Just occurred to me that my primary email address is now about 31 year old. Yes I have others, but this one keeps rocking. Internet points if you can guess the domain.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to β€œwhat would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and β€œwhat would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and β€œwhat would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

I have seen a sliced cheese dispenser, but not one that is mechanized. Bonus points if someone integrated a digital camera and a Flash to stun and record anyone who tries to get a slice.

Yeah, the early LCDs were so washed out, even if they were in color.

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

Pretty cool. Reminds me of my first portable Sega Genesis. I used my father's mini TV and some NiCD cells to build a setup where I could play Sega on long car trips. That setup was a little easier as that unit had a 3.5mm AV input jack.

It's funny that they named it E. F., you know, like Epstein Files. Because it's the distraction from them.

My first science video in 3 years
My first science video in 3 years YouTube video by Physics Girl

For those of you who haven't noticed, @thephysicsgirl.bsky.social just posted her first physics video since contracting a nearly fatal case of Long COVID several years ago. It's great to see how much she's improved, and I really look forward to seeing her get back into making more science content.

I have a craving for, of all things, a SALAD BAR. I miss the pre-covid reality of buffet food. Gimme a 1980's Sizzler with all you can eat Shrimp and Salad Bar. 10-year old me would make a "salad" of everything but the lettuce, drenched in blue cheese dressing and fake bacon bits.
