On National Retro Day, a look back at Camp Minnie‑Mickey. A temporary land that served as a standing reminder that Beastly Kingdom never happened.

Orange trash cans were not the mythical creatures we were promised.

MuseScore is an awesome program (https://musescore.org). But avoid the sinking sands of the service set up on musescore.com domain, made by the company that acquired both MuseScore and Audacity in recent years.

This stuff is a racket. I'd advise to install MuseScore from your Linux distribution's repository and never visit any websites associated with it.

MuseGroup's monetization schemes are vile.

We're in the 3rd decade of the 21st century; why am I not living in this apartment? #EPCOT

I’m official! I’ve completed my PADI Open Water #scuba certification.

Did four drives at Haigh Quarry. While most of the time the water was in the 60s, at the deeper parts it’s dropped down to 53*F, which is a bit uncomfortable (since I left my hood on shore 🤦🏻).

Retro Briters! A question.
Going to buy a light for winter retrobriting. Any opinions on UV lights vs Fulls Spectrum lights?

I think I want to bring up a castopod instance on QOTO, seems it would be a better alternative to hosting podcasts than our current funkwhale solution.

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.
