@SuricrasiaOnline Start with the shapes. Make them look like magic circles.

It looks like the person I've met who was running for SCA board of directors got elected. I met Asli while I was teaching at a trade event in Brazil a while back. She should be a good fit in this new role.

@gnomon The cat has calmed down now so the threat has probably been scared off.

Cat just started hissing and screaming at the basement door. She's usually an easy going cat.

@Taweret@octodon.social There's a commercial that's been running for years that has a bit that I can only hear as, "they killed a man to help me out," and I wish I knew what he was really saying because that can't be what it is.

fediverse pizza party

@cardassianvole I haven't been there yet. Rest of my immediate family has.

pizza acquired. cat can't have any.

@cardassianvole I've been, I think, 4 times now? I'm usually doing some kind of consulting or training gig (teaching people to roast coffee, for example).

@cardassianvole I learned how to make the banana pizza on my 2nd trip there, but it requires a proper pizza oven (you don't want overbaked banana mush) which I don't own.

@cardassianvole Kind of wish I could get a place around here to offer Brazilian style dessert pizzas. There's no place around here to get chocolate pizza or banana pizza or (though this next one I never had in Brazil) chocolate banana pizza.

@cardassianvole I don't think the place across the street even offers spinach as a topping.

@cardassianvole I'm thinking cheese, sausage, green pepper, and onion.

Working late to roast more coffee. Maybe I'll use the gift certificate for the pizza place across the street instead of cooking.

Innovating without a budget and giving the result away to the world seems like a better thing to give an award for than successfully taking other people's money to start your for profit company.

They should send me an award anyway. I've innovated stuff and done it on a budget of approximately $0.

Indiegogo just confirmed that they did, indeed, send me that email but that I did not win an award and I should just ignore it.

I should probably migrate all my stuff off tumblr at some point. Most of it I don't care about but there are a few articles that are actually useful that I still sometimes point people toward or use for my own reference.

Cat allergies have been bothering me more lately and I finally figured out why. My air purifier doesn't start back up after a power outage and I failed to realize it wasn't running.
