Things of Your Day

Elon Musk needs to work on his presentation skills.

I quite like the fact that Musk is super uncomfortable on stage, and doesnā€™t have full control of his voice and body during presentations. If he was at Tony Stark level of slick, Iā€™d be way less of a fan.

Reductress is a beautiful site. I refuse to hear it slandered as ā€œclick-baity.ā€

Kinda annoying how it painfully over-explained the joke on the first page, so much do that I only got three pages in.

OH MY GOD BEAR IS DRIVING HOW CAN THAT BE?!?

Reductress has always struck me as decent concept/headlines with poor follow through.

One of my students asked me to draw Princess Belle for her. I complied:

She didnā€™t find it nearly as funny as I did.

That Elgato ā€œStream Deckā€ is literally just a USB keyboardā€¦
[/quote]Iā€™ve looked at it some more, and I literally canā€™t figure out anything other than sticking JPGs to your keys that you can do with it, that you canā€™t do with either a home-built solution. Or if youā€™re not that DIY-oriented, just a regular old gaming keypad like the Logitech G-13, or Razerā€™s orbweaver, or literally any one of the hundreds of other options that range from slightly cheaper, to much cheaper. Or shit, even just a smartphone or cheap tablet with a copy of Roccat power grid, which even includes custom button images, thus entirely replicating every single feature of the stream deck, except wirelessly.

I found out that there is a Kindle version of Phoenix by Osamu Tezuka. Iā€™m sure other manga have gotten the kindle treatment as well; looks like I know how Iā€™m buying my manga from now on!

Yeah, I mean, shit, I effectively built a similar thing for controlling my editing softwares from an arduino, some buttons, a screen, and a couple of dials.

Lucky Charms: Not even pretending weā€™re cereal anymore.

I donā€™t get the big deal. You donā€™t need to be lucky to get this, you can buy a bag of just cereal marshmallows very easily online. I do it every year and put out a big bowl of them for my coworkers every St Patrickā€™s Day. Itā€™s a silly gimmick but it puts a smile on everyoneā€™s faces.

If you have a disability, Microsoft is offering to upgrade your copy of Windows 10 S to Pro free of charge.
