Ok, so I use pine pellet litter for my cat instead of clay and for the most part it's great, but it is more work to clean. I have a sifting tray, which makes it somewhat quicker to separate the good pellets from the dust, but I'm thinking like a rotating mesh drum would be even better.

Area 51 has a nearby railroad line, used for nothing more than material transport, but interesting nonetheless.

Been poking at making an AQI plugin for @trmnl.com using IQAir's API. Pretty happy with it at the moment trmnl.com/recipes/407459 (ignore my other broken plugin in the picture...)

So, I was watching this videos about finding the landspeeder from Spaceballs (youtu.be/y3U63r9bpbk) and I think the plates over the headlights might be the metal frames from a couple of 5.25" floppy drives. Could use a second opinion. #retrocomputing #movieprops #spaceballs

Irasutoya, Japan's popular free clip art library, has released its latest creation in honor of the United States President, Donald Trump. It's a clever play on TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) and the Japanese word タコ for octopus, which also means "idiot."
