Woo. I thought the title is an invitation to do so in the comments. Like an open thread. Haha.

Anything you can see with a 90mm scope, you can also see with a 70mm scope but obviously with less magnification. In my experience, to appreciate a 70mm scope, you need pretty good night vision plus knowledge of what you are looking at. So you can see some nebulae/deep-sky objects with this regardless: Andromeda…

Oh. My. Lord.

LIFE. CHANGING.

Great repurposing idea but, if this was me, this will only be on if I have visitors. Doesn’t help that my spare phone is a spare phone because the battery has been really used up by now, having it display something constantly is not an option. Can’t replace the battery cheaply either because it’s a unibody build.

I recently downloaded a PDF of the guide for EarthBound and I was instantly hit with the same nostalgia. FWIW, the EarthBound manual had atrocious design (too many rules! too much text and images! so many info in so little space!) but all that info and extra world-building crammed in so little space is exactly what I…

This article explains a lot why, after going through that compilation, I felt that Peanuts had too much hype; Calvin and Hobbes is definitely better. The arcs were shallow, just plain…

This sounds like Calvin in Spaceman Spiff mode. Or Buckles. Does this make Snoopy the prototype of this “genre”?

Oh this. This is the GNOME/Compiz feature which tipped me over from Windows to Linux Ubuntu during my undergrad. There was a time when I’d have a workspace for each of the courses I was taking.

I envy you just for rocking socks and sandals. I love sandals too (saves me a lot of time) but every now and then there really is just a time I have to wear sneakers at the very least.

This is one of the biggest reasons why Macs aren’t winning me over.

An honest question which I hope the internets won’t skewer me for.

Good idea but this version does not look too comfy for me.

Is he getting any academic degree for this...thesis?
