Donn Ha

Alright, almost threw out a quirky Bluetooth keyboard because it wouldn’t turn on. Apparently the battery only charges if it’s connected to a computer, according to the interwebs. And yes, that worked. Haven’t used it in five years! Suspected that the battery had gone bad, but it’s fine.

This isn’t the least interested I’ve ever been in watching a Super Bowel but it’s near the top of that list. It doesn’t help that the commercials have been boring for years now.

Alright, I'm figuring out how baking bread from frozen bread dough works. Made a good loaf today, my last loaf was too dense. May need smaller pans.

Alright time to make some literal bread! Heat went out yesterday so my dough didn’t rise but it’s back on today.

Theodore J. Karamanski: Lake Michigan is under threat. The dangers are out of sight. Today, Lake Michigan is not sending up a warning flag. The threats to our waters are insidiously obscured from sight.

Commentary: Today, Lake Michigan is not sending up a warning flag as obvious as miles of dead fish. The threats to our waters are insidiously obscured from sight.

Done! I have definitely gotten my $360 worth of value from my 3D printer. Have a nice surface for reading comics attached to my bike now.

Alright the mounting screws are in and I’m gluing the sides of the cubby to the base. Glad I bought a good piece of wood for it. Soon I’ll be reading coffee and drinking comics!

Late game night last night! Had to use the garage. $16 is a reasonable amount for that service. But for $4 more I could have slept in. But for some reason $20 for parking feels expensive. In any case going to run my errands a little sleepy then home for a nap.

Sure, Trump said a lot of arrogant and blasphemous things at the Prayer Breakfast. And he likes killing and torturing and beating innocent people. But recovering from that 2024 head wound, without even a scar, must make him the favorite of...?

But that’s something I’ll do tomorrow. Not feeling particularly crafty today.

All that’s left is some drillin’, screwin’, and gluin’!!!

I’ve moved my Ventra card to Apple Wallet. One less card to carry! I kept it in my phone case so it’s kind of no duh. Now I have an open slot not sure what to use it for.

Oh my GOD, the White House copied our ad but made it completely deranged.

The Nazi slop factory is all out of ideas! SAD!

Progress. Took a while to print. Going to get another print started and should be ready when I wake up!

Printing out a part.

The stubs end at an 11 degree angle, so that has to be taken into account.

The problem: my stationary bike has no place to rest a book and a mug of coffee. I took off the digital display but that was at too severe an angle. I want something nice and level.

Criminal masks Trump and his cronies are laying the groundwork to fix the midterms

Although switching to finger picking opened vast new possibilities for my music.

Well, apparently Animate/Flash isn't being end-of-lifed. It's just not getting any new features.

Alright, I've printed up about $300 worth of stuff not including the Yoda. $63 more stuff to break even. Still learning how to use it but it's been useful already.

I somehow ended up with seven frozen bread doughs. The chest freezer is deep and stuff gets buried. Fresh bread today and for a couple of months!

This squeeze ball has really improved my pick grip for strumming guitar. Now I can mostly play a song without losing the pick angle! Probably should have started doing this 20 years ago when I first started having issues strumming.

I have taken "Watch Wars", "Pilot Alpha", and "Ballbearing" down from the Apple App Store. That leaves no apps available. I think I'm going to let my dev account expire in April.

Flash is dead for real now. Adobe is discontinuing the authoring app. I’ve still got a CS5 copy on a frozen in time MacBook if I need it, but I probably won’t need it.

Welp, Adobe Animate / Macromedia FutureSplash is being discontinued. Flash is really, finally, dead.

Everything works on my ARM Surface Pro! Have an ubuntu virtual machine running, Illustrator is finally less buggy, most games run on it. I think the move to ARM is feeling inevitable. Intel and AMD are done unless a fundamentally different way to build chips is discovered.

Alright I’m going to back to pencils. I tried digital sketching and overall I don’t like it. Also going to use normal leads, not the light blue leads I’ve been using. Got a couple of stories to draw getting things moving.

Definitely having an easier time holding on to a pick and strumming now. This is probably one of those exercises I just need to incorporate into my routine.

Alright, I got sidetracked by a typo. Was expecting the last issue of Sleep on Wednesday, but it's the 4th of March. That means I should probably pick up a copy of Harley and Ivy this week rather than waiting and possibly have it sell out.
