Wanting to pull together some thoughts on the novel coronavirus #COVID19, and where we are here in #Arizona. But there's so much to pull together I just get so tired. 🦠🗑🔥


Good morning fellow humans ☕️

Looking for LED lights like Adam Savage (@donttrythis) used on his work light build, but Amazon is out with no timeframe on re-stock. Anyone found a good alternative?

@idangazit - you were right! Foundryside was amazing! A short review is here

Read: Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

Wow, thanks to Idan Gazit for recommending Robert Jackson Bennett's #scifi #fantasy novel Foundryside.

Every think programming is magic? IT IS. Ever wonder complain that your code is doing what you said instead of what you meant? BEWARE. Magic and technology, mystical hacking, sentient objects and the ancient and tormented souls that drive them...

You're going to love it. Thanks Idan.

Read: The Monster of Elendhaven

Sort of Frankenstein mixed with Lovecraft... interesting but not a happy tale.
