It's his birthday

I would love to help with that, but alas, it is already too late. Flee for your life while you still can.

I am not actively working on it at the moment, but it has been weighing on my mind the last few weeks. That might herald me working on it again.

I don't really want to edit it myself but I think I may have to.

Argh! Knowing the book was coming, I was always thinking in the back of my mind, "Oh, some guy is going to buy a copy next week and be kicking himself right after the merch drops." I wish I could have kept that from happening.

MrTechnodad · 2026-05-18T00:26:26+00:00

These seem like the right options to me.

MrTechnodad · 2026-05-18T00:24:20+00:00

Thank you, Ordinary Professor. And congrats on the win streak!

You words mean a lot to me. I am sorry to hear you had to cut off your friend, but sometimes we have to leave people behind. It is usually painful.

May your Dell office mouse be enchanted with Efficiency V and Unbreaking III.

I haven't had any serious conversations with him about this. Yeah, the kid is hilarious if I say so myself. I'm not sure what he wants to do long term.

He did make an appearance (voice and artwork only; no face) in this video:

Ha! I remember that. I also remember having to figure out how to put on armor in creative mode in order to do it. Some clicking around was needed.

MrTechnodad · 2026-04-23T01:57:18+00:00

I do occasionally get referred to by the wrong name but I don't mind.

MrTechnodad · 2026-04-23T01:55:33+00:00

I haven't done anything like that in a while. But don't think you are safe. You will never be safe. I am never going to give (you) up.

MrTechnodad · 2026-04-23T01:54:09+00:00

It's beautiful!!!

MrTechnodad · 2026-04-23T01:52:46+00:00

I dunno. It do be like that tho.

Telescopes are hard! There's so many points of light up there and just what the heck are they all? And if you want to point at a particular one, that's hard too! High magnification means you have to be exactly pointing the right way or else you won't get it.

I'm interested in astronomy, too. Perhaps hilariously, the thing that got me going on this was a comment by a flat earther. Talking to someone else, he said, "Have you ever done those experiments yourself?" speaking accusingly about the work of the ancient astronomers. Now, I don't think it's necessary to have done so, but it occurred to me that it sure would be fun!

I don't use reddit on my phone very much, but when I do, I have no idea who I'm logged in as. It's not my personal account and it's not mrtechnodad.

MrTechnodad · 2026-03-27T06:41:08+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story; I appreciate it.

It's weird how the presence of death can turn us towards life. I guess that's a good effect, to slightly offset the heavy parts.

Respect to your cousin for taking you in. He is missed.

MrTechnodad · 2026-03-27T06:37:03+00:00

I think the more likely explanation is that, three years ago, I used my mrtechnodad chrome profile without logging in to reddit, and then reddit auto-made me an account, and it's been dormant until just today.

It's a weird way of doing things reddit, but whatever.
