Black spirals coil like storm fronts across the olla’s ochre belly, their sharp edges softened by matte clay. The stepped wings suggest clouds heavy with rain—what else might the potter have seen in the sky’s turning shapes?

The company #RainBird can pound sand! If you update your mobile app to their v2.0 it will reflash your rainbird wifi module and not allow local access, forcing you to use their cloud-based BS. I'm done with them. Going the open-source route here and using the drop-in replacement https://opensprinkler.com/ . Works out of the box with Home Assistant too.

It was 40 years ago this week that the Atari ST was announced at the January 1985 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Not long after, in the fall of 1986, I got my own Atari 520ST system and count it as one my favorites among the many systems I haveowned over the years. Here, at the ST's 40th Anniversary, I share one of my earliest and most memorable experiences with my beloved 520ST, which took place on a Halloween night long, long ago.

Today, I have a nearly identical 520ST setup here in the Byte Cellar and I still count it among the most beloved of my vintage systems. I hope you enjoy the memory.

Specialised Arcade hardware has commonly been ahead of what people could have at home. Then, at some point, a new generation of off-the-shelf machines would make possible what previously had been reserved to being experienced one quarter at a time. #Starglider showed off the power of the new #AtariST. Celebrated at its time, how did it hold up?

#ProTip for lab work with #ants: Irrigation tube clamps, like these from #rainbird, can by easily cut with shears into water tube holders that can be hot glued down into a foraging area without a plaster bottom.

Sunday is meant for relaxation and good music with friends, said a good friend here, HT to @TheDonkeySays so I went hunting for Sunday Music and lookeee what I found: "Relaxing Sunday Mornings ☕ - An Indie/Folk/Pop Playlist"
