Speak for yourself :-D

That’s some BEAUTIFUL artwork

It was rolled on the manifestation table for the spell itself - all baked in by Joseph Goodman

In our #DCCRPG game our lv1 wizard wanted to enlarge our warrior before a fight. The warrior was shrunk down to the form of a tiny baby before growing back to 10% more than his previous size &the wizard was bathed in holy light while a blue star burned on his forehead. This game is weird. ❤️

Weeding is Fundamental - 99% Invisible On October 17th, 1989, the Oakland A’s were playing the San Francisco Giants in the World Series, but just as the game was kicking off—the television broadcast cut out. When the signal came back, it w...

"Weeding Is Fundamental" an episode from the podcast 99% Invisible. It's about the practice of weeding books, and how an earthquake in the late '80s sparked a furore around the practice of weeding. Really good stuff, if you're into books or libraries LISTEN. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/weed...

Experimenting with smelling nice... just a little bit for myself, not for anyone else... not trying to be obnoxious or make anyone gag. A little bit of CKin2U and I'm feeling real nice.

Our hacker character was the star of the show during a recent #BeamSaber game. Turning the tide and evening the odds. Hacks, counter hacks, databombs and taking control of enemy turret systems. She's not often available for the sessions but this time she SHINED.

What the?!

Primo Research Assistant was something we trialled at RGU, though I must admit I didn't attempt any "controversial" searches. Such a thing shouldn't really be a barrier in academia. We SHOULD be researching such things. What's going on.

that's a butt

a man in a white tank top is boxing with a blue punching bag in a gym . Alt: Yuri Boyka (played by Scott Adkins) of the Undisputed movie franchise is boxing and kicking a punching bag. He is training for an underground prison fight.

Boyka! Boyka! Boyka! #ScottAdkins #Undisputed #Boyka

Reading the Dying Earth book by Jack Vance (my intro to the author) and just finished the chapter/short story “Ulan Dhor”. Wow!! 🤯

Be quiet Outlook calendar, I have KEYBOARDS to research!!

One of my favourite things to do as an adult is to obsessively research a future purchase and make spreadsheets comparing all the variations, models and alternatives. Conditional formatting, colour schemes, and scores. ALWAYS at the expense of a more important task. Is there anything better??

Oh yes! Others must be considered! I will be getting silent red switches (if I lived alone I would get blue cos they are noooisssssyy)

Oh and a little bit self indulgent but a really nice mechanical keyboard, with a cool colour scheme and nice switches. I haven’t taken that step yet but I yearn for the clicky clacky ❤️

A good adjustable desktop lamp or ring light for better lighting on zoom/teams. I also bought an inexpensive £30 webcam - more adjustable angles and higher quality image than the laptop camera. No more triple chins 😂

That’s a yes from RGU, Aberdeen.

Next week my lunchtime #DungeonCrawlClassics game will finish our first funnel (Portal Under The Stars) and we will level up our level 0 characters!! Then I’m hoping to get the gang together for a night out so we can blast through Sailors On The Starless Sea in a pub, with cold beers and hot snacks.

In the UK legit protest groups are being criminalised. Surveillance is omnipresent and the online safety act is forcing people to give their data to untrustworthy sources. If that isn’t enough to steer you towards a VPN know this…. A VPN allows you to watch Project Runway season 21 on Disney+.

Going through a brief but intense phase of really wanting to buy and build a mechanical keyboard for using at work. They are so pretty.

Movie poster for GOOD LUCK CHUCK which features uncanny photoshopping of the leads faces as they lay in some unexplainable embrace

Everyone is talking about The Life of Chuck and until this minute I assumed that the Dane Cook movie “Good Luck Chuck” was having some kind of unexpected resurgence. Can we talk about how uncanny and weird this poster is though?

On my radar for sure!!

Oh man a full CGI Pinbacker would have aged so badly. Right choice!!! Thank you Mark Strong 🙏

Wow, #DungeonCrawlClassics is great. I’ve landed here on my TTRPG journey, having travelled the probably familiar road of #DnD, #pbta, #fitd… I think I’m going to stay here a little while (not forever of course)! I’m curious - what systems have u got wonderfully stuck in? Which did u drop quickly?

The 49” Tv with the back cover off

A pic I took to remind me where the ribbon plugs go!! Taking pics was vital

The blue LEDs that were ruining my picture quality

The new LED strips in place!

I did it! I fixed the faded and blue LEDs from my TV by replacing them with spares on eBay and watching a lot of YouTube. No specialist tools, just a screwdriver, a credit card, a table with a blanket on it and a cup of tea.

Image of an LG tv with the cover removed

Omg what am I dooooiiiing

My old second hand LG TV has turned blue as the LED backlights have gradually died. In January I bought replacement LED strips but I’ve been too scared to do it. Mustering up some courage to try it today. Wish me luck.

I would have been OUT OF MY MIND if that happened to me.

In reality it's two librarians, a computing professor and two members from the research office just nerding out and having a great deal of fun over a shared workplace lunch hour.
