This USB-C to *cigarette lighter* cable is an amusing mix of old and new.

@TheKinrar suggestion for instances.social, assuming it updates the total user and toot count for each site - the front page could chart a federation-wide user and toot total over time.

https://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio is a treasure trove of culture from when the radio was less music and more spoken word.

some ui tweaks. need more of a plan to make the next significant step in usability. things are stalled at the moment. https://donpdonp.github.io/zootdeck/

In 1969, Apollo 11 was 9 hours into its mission and about 6 hours into its 3 day drift through space to be caught by the moon's gravity at the end of the journey. The ship had a sextant on board with this chart of 30 pre-designated stars to use as a guidance check.

new alpha release for zootdeck today. a column of toots has a new mode: pictures only. https://donpdonp.github.io/zootdeck/

ps. Mastodon's "Delete and Re-Draft" is the best.

Apple AirPods are a VR Headet for the ears.

A good night's sleep last night. The verical SP02 lines are taking the sensor on/off.

getting some amazing reults from icecondor location plus an irc bot query to openstreetmap data. shop=bicycle, amenity=bar, amentiy=bicycle_parking

Its nice to see another location based AR-ish game, even if it is from Niantic and plays like a slot machine. The dream of such games was described in 2010 as Shadow Cities and we're still waiting for it, imho.

Day 1 of the 3 day drift-phase to the moon, Apollo11 astronauts continualy use the "Space Sextant" to double-check the course correctness. A pre-defined set of reference stars were used.

looking forward to the mastodon 2.9 update for its two-column view.

ConfFreaks publishing every talk from major conferences is a real treasure. https://www.youtube.com/user/Confreaks/playlists

the motivation for #zootdeck was primarily how rigid the mastodon web interface is. its got the columns of tweettdeck with zero flexability. i cant add/remove/repurpose anything.

spent the morning working on mastodon auth flow, from client creation to authorization link to authorization code to token request and token storage.
