That could have gone worse:

The quiz thinks I and Greta Thunberg are aligned. I can live with that.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Jun 24

Seriously, if I can get this for a bit under $35K that seems like a pretty good deal.

Slate with an open-air kit and a purple wrap quite close to that gorgeous late 1960s Dodge factory color, plus a 70's stripe down the side.

I posted my copy of "Spawn Of Fashan" as a followup already but there's also this:

Lost Tamoachan, signed by Harold Johnson, Jim Ward, and, uh...was it Diesel? I don't really remember who that third signature was, and now I can't read it.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Jun 17

It's actually not quite the only one.

Signed Spawn Of Fashan. IYKYK.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Jun 15

It arrived! @agamemnonpress.bsky.social

Empire of Bones and goodies. Including a Chick tract from an alternate universe.

Blink has been fishing.

Wet cocoa-and white dog, muddy paws. He has been fishing in my pond.

No 'Star Wars'. No 'Star Trek'. Name a Favorite Sci-Fi Franchise.

Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, with the last two volumes in reversed order for some reason.

Transfixed by joy, or maybe by a bird.

Cocoa-and-white dog standing in front of a pink stucco wall with a multicolored stained glass window in it, smiling beatifically at something in the sky.

Believe it or not this is basically her baseline level of crazy-looking.

Tricolor border collie showing her fangs while holding a big orange ball, with an absolutely unhinged look in her demented little eyes.

It gets better:

Oh God now we're up to almost 28 days.

Adam Thornton@athornton· May 22

I didn't quite realize how long this was likely to take.

Indexer is running. It has 18-1/2 days to go. It has done 102 out of 32537 documents so far.

Adam Thornton@athornton· May 21

Action shot.

Cocoa-and-white dog almost licking the bridge of his own nose.

Adam Thornton@athornton· May 11

Screw it, I'm joining the discourse:

Two-button guy: "Cut back on steroid usage / Accept smaller balls"

Blink again modeling the Spring Allergen Collection. His natural color is not in fact golden brown.

A dog that should be a deep cocoa brown but is in fact now golden brown because of the layer of pollen coating him. He is prone on the floor, his head raised, looking at the camera.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Apr 22

We should definitely not post these.

Trust me, if you can't see it, you're better off. It's a static image that screws with your brain to make you think it's moving. This one is circular and black, green, white, and purple. It's awful. Truly awful.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Apr 17

Blink would like you to know how pleased he is to be collecting ALL of the allergens (mostly mesquite, palo verde, and acacia pollen).

Slyly grinning brown and white dog who has just brought half the allergens in Pima County inside.

My favorites are probably Pitfall! and Adventure! for the Atari 2600, but I have a lot of choices.

Cabinet with somewhere between 100 and 200 Atari 2600 cartridges.

Cabinet with a whole bunch of non-Atari-2600 cartridges. Colecovision is especially well-represented.

Wake up babe new Monster Manual just dropped.

Book cover: DMT Entities: Machine Elves, Tricksters, Teachers, and Other Interdimensional Beings.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Mar 13

BAAAAAAALL

Action shot of demented Border Collie lunging at a ball.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Mar 9

There’s always the couch I guess.

Three dogs (cocoa boxery thing, big red and white hound, Border Collie) hogging the pillows.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Mar 5

Guy yelling into girl's ear at party. She's not digging it.

It looks remarkably like the trailcam photo below, except in that one, they're both wolves.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Mar 4

Yay! @jeannethornton.bsky.social

This is an obscenely rich man.

Cocoa-and-white dog with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR balls.

Adam Thornton@athornton· Feb 27

We’re in operations now, so time for me to follow through on that promise. Tattoo by Ludo Krabbendam, son of Victor Krabbendam, who directed Rubin Observatory through construction. #rubinobservatory

Adam Thornton@athornton· Feb 15

This man is rich.

Cocoa-and white dog with not one but two orange rubber balls.

Post the first game you actually completed! Adventure for the Atari VCS (later, 2600).

I swear I am not a launch site.

A PDP 11/23 with dual 8-inch floppy diskette drives.
