After printing a tool for respooling filament and printing a tighter closing extruder lever, I am now able to print the LAYWOO-D3 Wood Filament, famous to produce a temperature-dependent wood grain texture (https://github.com/MoonCactus/gcode_postprocessors/tree/master/wood

Did I mention IC reversing is absolute crack for AuDHD brains?
I should probably put down the EEPROM, at least for a while, and move on to other stuff. But I'm having too much fun.
This is the dangerous part, and the part I have the most trouble with... the problem is so big you'll *never* be done (especially doing it manually without any automation, figuring out what each cell is by hand, etc).
There's always more to discover. Nerd sniping to the 20th power.
I featured That Dog's 1997 masterpiece 'Retreat from the Sun' a year ago for #MusicWomenWednesday, but since I determined yesterday thanks to @…'s album of year posts that it's my favorite record of 1997, I'm re-upping it. I have it …
These are the photos for my 2026 calendar. Got the proofs today. Should have the hard copies in 2 weeks. Always agonizing to pick 13 of my photos for the next one. The last few years I’ve had to use older ones too. I don’t get out to shoot as much anymore. I’m hoping that will improve. I’ve volunteered to be a photographer for the city park dept. I’ll take pics of people engaged in the parks and activities, and whatever else I see.
This video essay about the look of Sinners (which was shot on 70mm IMAX and Ultra Panavision) brought up something I hadn't realised until now: the large format gives you a wide field of view with the look of a telephoto lens! What that means is that you get shallow depth of field like in closeup shots with the framing of a wider angle lens.
Personal observation: there's also very little barrel lens distortion that usually comes with wide shots on 35mm.
Continuing work on the PIC12F683 video. Ripped out all of the early rambling guesswork floorplan analysis I did on the top metal and replaced it with a much more in-depth floorplan discussion looking at the substrate-level floorplan.
Video is now just shy of an hour 20 in length and I still need to add:
* Quick intro to digital CMOS layout and standard cells (planning to film this tonight)
* Deep dive on SRAM
* Deep dive on flash
* Deep dive on fuses/configuration…
