We all geek out about our new toys. I got a few of the @Oscium SpecAn dongles and wanted a way to "mount" it to my laptop.
Here is a 3D printable bracket I designed for this purpose.
Feel free to print one yourself or DM me and I can try to get you one

@JoshuaLisec I presented at a conference this year, Scott’s Systems over Goals was the lynchpin.
I had lost my mentor a few years ago. Another Scott. I finished the talk calling for others to find their Scott.

@akirathedon Quite Frankly, I listen to this about once a week. The Paul Harvey at the end is chefs kiss.
Thinking about waves and vibes, how'm I gonna get louder...
@gracefulscience@Oscium The older design was solid and did that, but you couldn't see the menu items at the top. If that is more your fancy let me know I will post that as well.

Nick Turner and Jason Beshara gave me great feedback on the recent changes and John Strope helped babysit my Fusion model at first.
In the spirit of community, I want to make this accessible for those that need it.
When we row in the same direction we can achieve greatness.
People are saying that now AI is getting good, going forward culture will be no more than previous culture recycled
There's an argument that this has been going on ever since the birth of the internet, after which, they say, "everything became a remix"
Jaron Lanier wrote about it at length decades ago
Part of the argument goes, that after the pre-mass-internet mid 90s there was
No discernible change in fashion
No truly new music genres (hip-hop could be the last one in this argument)
No new TV styles (reality being the final one)
Etc
After the internet what we had was recontextualization of the previous forms, made to fit the new Medium
(The content of the new medium is always that of the previous medium, as Marshall McLuhan notes.)
Prior to mass internet, culture was visibly, and rapidly changing at all times - just think of the stylistic difference between the mid to late 70s and the early 80s, going from glam to punk to new wave and so on
Now, the culture feels static, while it's technology that zooms ahead so fast that one human mind can't keep track of it
When he was a young lad, my dad would go to the pub with his new David Bowie LP under his arm
Perhaps the modern equivalent would be showing off a new AI capability with a memeified version of your avi or something
I made a song a few decades ago sampling Alan Moore, talking about Steam Theory
The idea that human invitation keeps doubling, and the time for it to occur keeps plummeting.
There's 50,000 years between the invention of the stone axe and the baths of Rome. The next doubling takes around 1500 years, roughly by the Renaissance. Faster it goes - by the 18th or 19th century, it takes just a couple hundred years, and between 1960 and 1970, human information doubles in a mere decade.
Extrapolating this forward, Moore predicted that by around 2015AD information doubles every thousandth of a second.
At any moment something could pop into being that changes everything forever
It's like water heating up.
We go from a fluid, observable flow of invention, to steam
The odds that everything going forward will be no more than a remix is only true in that everything we have ever done was, in it's own way, a remix of what went before
But as for what's coming, we can't even imagine
THIS IS THE STEAM AGE
It’s a beautiful day to be alive
Here at the peak of recorded civilization
We give thanks to the ancestors
For the miracle they bequeathed us
We vow not to squander
This hitherto unimaginable
Opportunity
