Inside looks like this.
You can see the upside down trees

Playing with a pinhole viewer in preparation for tomorrow’s #Eclipse . We’re NOT in the path of totality, but we’ll be able to see about 50% coverage.
This enclosed viewer shows the trees (or siblings) behind.

My youngest child just went outside onto the sidewalk and started screeching like a pterodactyl.

Then he screeched, “CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?”

We replied, “YES, WE ALL CAN!”

He said, “CAN ANYBODY NOT MY FAMILY HEAR ME?”

I get interrupted a lot by kids while working-from-home.

I just found code I hadn't checked in...

I figured I should clean it up before checking it in...

But I found that the cleanup was already done! I just don't remember doing it....

Thanks, Friendly-Coding-Ghost! 🙂

Pretty excited about our progress at Unleashed Games.
Our first code commit was just over 6 months ago.
Here's some footage from our most recent playtest:

How I know I’m old:
We got the tree up,
I only did the high part (cuz nobody else could reach)
I’m already ready to go to bed. 🤪

@JeffAHamilton Do all my followers go with me? ;)

Been a while since I posted here, because I'm heads-down working on my new gig:

I’m in Santa Barbara for the week, and we were lucky enough to get an incredible view of the SpaceX launch tonight.
The slight fog made for an incredible view once the sunlight was hitting it from beyond the horizon.

6yo: For my next birthday, I want water balloons.

Me: water balloons in JANUARY?!

6yo: HOT water balloons.

@AdamHolisky I knew it looked like an Apple product!

[Brian Birmingham💙 @BrianBirming]

@AdamHolisky I’m not sure what I’m looking at…

Is that a broken-off USB connector stuck in some device?

Or a scroll wheel on the side of a weird new Apple mouse?

Or is it a sharp spot on an instrument intended to be smooth?

They all seem bad; just not sure which it is…

@SteveDanuser @holinka Alternately, it’s holding that back muscle that won’t stop hurting…

@JohnEibert @ZoidCTF @joshcorbettpods @unleashedgames I also like listening to Kevin Jordan!

I haven’t seen him in a while, and I know he didn’t agree with all the decisions we made, but I enjoyed working with him and I appreciate his perspective.

[Brian Birmingham💙 @BrianBirming]

I recently did an interview with @joshcorbettpods from “Countdown to Classic” in which we discussed my start on the Classic team, some fun stories from development, and my new job at Unleashed Games (@unleashedgames)
