A photo that shows a group of people around several fold out tables with vintage telephones and boxes. In a hall with yellow/beige walls.

A table of vintage telecoms items. This includes vintage telephones, old dials, vintage cords for telephones, cases for old phones and more.

I was listening to a podcast talking about #clocks from #BITD (looks over @magethepodcast ) and I was thinking about changing from clocks to #dials and #gages. Your speedometer isn’t a clock so why stick to only that method? But you can run down your gas to ramp up your speed.

So my question here is: is there a game that already works this way?

I've been painting sharper 90-degree corners lately, and focusing on them using my reading glasses.

Painting the X's is taking much more time than before, like twice as much. But I continue getting better at it, hundreds of them later lol.

Painting this is very much like sign painting.

There are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of better sign painters out there than me, and all those calligraphy videos online, and the hyper-realistic painters, etc. I'm so jealous!

Notwithstanding, from a few short feet away, these corners are immaterial.

And! There are so many more hard edges to discover!! Just kinda thinking about it.

ATM, I'm using specialized brushes — red sable, flat, size 3-4 from two different product lines. They are both very decent, but they do fall apart.

IDK, it's just kinda interesting painting like this, for now.

I am using linseed oil to lubricate the application, it's very very robot painting this way. Yet, I'm certain (theorizing) it pertains very deeply to the human experience (if there is one, also hypothetical lol).

Paintings, in general, covertly get very deeply into peoples' minds at times, and it can rattle some bells in there, pull some levers and turn some dials, even — best case scenario.

Yes, more cowbell.

The image depicts a vintage Panasonic stereo system from 1972.
It features a large, black amplifier with two visible speakers and controls on the front panel.
On top of the amplifier, there are several knobs and dials, suggesting various functions such as volume, tone, and perhaps input selection.
The brand name "Panasonic" is prominently displayed on the device.

I finally get to ride in Wendy’s Jeep and she’s wasn’t there. Alas, the top was not down so it doesn’t count. We shall rectify that this summer!

Tom was down in the city to get it serviced and had a slice of time free so we grabbed lunch. I got tofu and rice (thanks for the rec Kay) from Gabriella and it was SUPER GOOD. (Hot tip: If you want to visit Factory 52’s food hall? Do it on a weekday. Super chill.)

I had a pile of email and a slew of tasks to tackle post-NYC, so this quick outing was super welcome. Also? The fridge was empty so double bonus yay.

Tofu lunch from Gabriella (five stars)
