👍 I recently played some of Infocom's The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy and mysteriously didn't immediately die; I actually scored some points before that. #appleII #appleIIgs #infocom #retrogaming #hgttg

@freemo hey... you up for taking some Qs about qoto.org? I’m mainly just curious.

when you overexpose night photos and you have a lot of moon light and no artificial light you get pictures which look like they are taken on a sunny day - just with stars.

To buy the correct USB-C cable, you need to take a 6-month course in cablology. Insane.

The "delete and re-draft" feature on Mastodon is really brilliant.
All of which is to say I need to do some more blogging that justifies having this keyboard and using it for something other than snark on birdsite.
For posting here, it's great to have this keyboard... But, I do feel the keyboard needs a little more work. There's a nack to typing quickly on it. Most of the time I get it but there are still missed keypresses as the key tilts rather than presses. But, it's a cracking piece of kit for a small company's first crowd funded product.
I backed the Planet Computers Gemini on Indiegogo and having used it for a few months I'm not quite sure what I think of it. I love having a physical keyboard, which is what this device is all about. I don't like Android, so waiting to see what Jolla bring with sailfish in the coming months. Things have moved on so far since I used a Psion 5MX back in the day, but this device form factor does still make sense to me. It complements rather than replaces my iphone.

mildly nsfw, Paleolithic nudes compared to modern nudes
This is so, so amazing. Evidence that #Paleolithic #Venus statues were basically carved by women as self-portraits. #womensart Source: http://gowns.tumblr.com/post/167128831158/evidence-that-ancient-paleolithic-venus-statues

big cairns mark the old road, here 1 is dirt and gravel. It crosses a pass and descends toward Breiðdalsvík (Iceland)
