Yeah LiveJournal (my username there is lightfixer) really came close to replicating how we actually social. Deciding who is able to see what I posted on an individual level was great. Could create groups etc.

Dreamweaver or some other real WYSISYG web page editor that could maybe deal with very basic JavaScript.

I just wanna make a mostly static site with links in and out of my domain. Maybe a light bit of interactivity for things like search that autocompletes.

Pretty fascinating concept - take what we are already doing on the roads and translate it to the sky. Could lead to huge efficiency gains.

I still have my 2013 11.6” i7 and once I replace the battery and hinges (threw it across bed while open too many times) it’ll be good for another 10 years.

The original “MacBook” 12” retina could have been wonderful aside from the extremely poor performance, keyboard, and single USB, and battery life. Most of which Apple Silicon/lack of Jony Ive would fix.

I don’t know why, but for me about 1kg feels negligible for a laptop I carry constantly, where 1.5kg feels heavy.

He was a close friend, roommate and collaborator on many things. I’m reminded of him daily. RIP Dan, it’s been hard without you

Also Meshtastic.org is a cheap (various <$50 options) open source LoRa based hardware bridge (or standalone device) that can be used with an app over bluetooth (or WiFi web interface).

It supports strong encryption layer and over 1 km/mile per “hop” in most circumstances.

Designed originally for off grid, it’s very flexible and pretty polished.

Abstracts your phone into a UI. Has a whole ecosystem behind it. I’ve been using it for festivals and tracking my vehicles (high theft area) for years.

Very handy should infra not be available. Should be great for protests also :)

Idea (I lack the skills to implement):

Train an upscaler/style transfer model on these lovely things (plus Winamp skins etc) to create a teachable AI theme engine.

I am at least very proud of our improv dealing with the press at least! Especially as I don’t think either of us slept particularly well the night before in holding cells.

Post the 9/11 PATRIOT act (etc) led to dilution of America’s ideals in various ways, IMHO. I felt like we were in the middle of it. I wanted to call attention to how ridiculous it was - since the attention ended up on me and my friend. Zebbler was in the USA on political asylum at the time and it was made clear he’d be kicked out if we made any more noise after this.

Wow, looks amazing! (As someone nowhere near the target audience).

Would love to see anything of the visualizer. Understand it’s beta, but curious what direction it would go

Saw this earlier and it made me pretty sad. :(

I know it doesn’t 100% fit but… Black Bar?

For me she was a joyous milestone in defining internet culture.
