One year ago today, I embarked on the second half of my Oregon Coast Trail thru hike. I have such fond memories of that entire experience. Someday I’ll get around to writing them up in detail.
A few of my favorite photos from that day:
To my fellow Americans:
Happy Independence Day, and the beginning of the 250th year of our great experiment.
Much has improved. Much has fallen back.
Please remember the tenets of our republic: "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
Be nice. Be kind. And don't give fascists power.
And after a few days of modeling and a 3D print, it looks like a handheld! And it has a handle too 😊

Visit Corvallis recently introduced a new digital passport activity in the vein of the beer/ale trail concept, but with a twist: the Corvallis Dive Bar Crawl. I haven’t seen one of these for dive bars yet and this sounds like a fun idea that’s definitely still craft beer adjacent (especially in Corvallis!).

*sigh* what else should I expect...

World Cup has defied expectations in best way
Iran-Egypt provided all sorts of surprises.https://www.sounderatheart.com/2026/06/world-cup-has-defied-expectations-in-best-way/
Angine de Poitrine played the Montréal Jazz Festival last night and drew a crowd so large some people got hurt from the surge.
They interviewed a couple spectators who talked about how the crowd movement started to feel dangerous. Then the interviewer asked how the show was and they immediately started beaming and gushed about it.
Clear example of how much Québec loves AdP. "I went to the show. I could have died. IT WAS AWESOME, WOULD DO AGAIN"
After countless hours debugging, I'm very happy to announce A/UX 3.1.1 (and probably other versions) boots and seems mostly stable!
You can try it yourself in Snow bleeding edge right now! Note you _must_ set mouse emulation to 'relative' or you won't have a mouse and things will crash.
Please report any issues :)
Anyone else out there own (or have even heard of) a Transoft SCSI-Net hub? (Not shown: several three metre long SCSI cables.)
if I were a soccer coach, this is what I'd tell my players:
1) kick the ball at the net, not over the top of the net;
2) don't kick it straight at the goalie
