I built this goofy arcade game in JavaScript and HTML Canvas Element as a timed coding exercise a few years back (no LLM) It took about an hour #javascript #videogame #digitalart * No extraterrestrials were harmed in the making of this video game

The faux olive tree (super cute) that I picked up from Ikea for Festival of The Enlightenment (my own recently invented holiday celebrating the Age of Reason and Enlightenment) doesn't have olives so I made olive ornaments with oven-bake clay and paper clips. They still need to be varnished.
July 20, 1969 (57 years ago today) humankind first set foot on the moon
I invented a new holiday for myself called Festival of The Enlightenment celebrating math, science, rationalism, self-determination, philosophy, music, and the arts. The food is vegan and Mediterranean. I picked up this olive tree tonight from Ikea to assemble and decorate with lights and ornaments.
Like most people, I use Bézier Curves all the time. I was curious about this ubiquitous mathematical object, so I built one from scratch using JavaScript, the HTML Canvas Element, and De Casteljau's algorithm. This is from 2018 so no LLMs and also no libraries. #JavaScript #art #design
I made garbonzo bean brownies before bed (right now) so I can have them with coffee tomorrow. The standard is black beans but I felt like experimenting. I also upped the ground flaxseed to increase healthy omega 3s #vegan #plantbased
Tonight's Dinner: Homemade baba ganoush (with added shiitake mushrooms because why not?) and lemon garlic small potatoes with nutritional yeast and smoked paprika #vegan #plantbased
Me and my beautiful girlfriend enjoying a beer, a sarsaparilla, and a spectacular view of the Superstitions🌵🏜🌞

I haven't posted my fiddle playing in a while🎻 Here's a bit from a dinner show I played a few years back. We did 2 shows a day all season. I always love playing for guests from all over the world enjoying winter in Arizona!🌞🌵🌴 #violin #violinsky #music #musicsky #bluegrass
My beautiful girlfriend got me this awesome cat dad card for Father's day😻
For tonight's late night dinner I made fresh baba ganoush with eggplant from the farmers market, lemon juice from my tree, fresh garlic, and tahini. For dessert I made black bean brownies #vegan #plantbased
I built this JavaScript simulation using the Thin Lens Approximation back in 2018 to help me visualize the light paths and depth of field at various focal lengths. I was trying to better understand the math and physics of cameras both physical and virtual.
'Ancient Peppers' from a local farmer's market in Apache Junction Arizona🌶🌵🌞
