YouTube video by Benn Jordan I Saved a PNG Image To A Bird

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird.

(he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

Watching the UK public react to age verification there feels a lot like rewatching them realize what Brexit actually was.

We are finally ready to announce that EMF 2026 will happen on July 16-19, 2026, at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Herefordshire.

Expect more updates soon as we start spinning up the organisation again.

I got the PC version of Syndicate free on a magazine cover disc and played it endlessly. Such a classic πŸ’ΎπŸ–₯️

I once wrote games in (Turbo) Pascal, though mostly with spaceships rather than dragons. Perhaps if I'd had this book...

Just had a tiny zebra jumping spider hop onto my leg and eye me up before hopping back off. Absolutely adorable.

I still can't get over the fact that "panels you point at sky and make electricity from sunlight with no fuel is the cheapest source of energy" needed explanation.

Tyrannosaurus rex lived closer to the release of the Apple QuickTake 200 digital camera than it did to Stegosaurus.

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron.

This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM.

Links in thread.

This is because of the Online Safety Act, and UK folks had better get used to doing this because every site on the internet that "is likely to be accessed by children" and has users in the UK will be doing this as of 25 July; that's Ofcom's deadline.

During our recent travels across Europe a partner took me running. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it, but I just did my first 10k and it felt GOOD. I... think I'm a runner? πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
