Thinking #ImACentaur - new Kobo Libre Colour in the house. Community improvements #NickelMenu and #KoReader need to go on. I wanted a system anyone in the household could use to customize it, so I worked with an AI to wrangle it into shape. Also in the middle of reading 'The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI' by @pluralistic - obvious #Centaur usecase and inspiration. Local-only app to meet

Wow, this cover - picked it up on a whim at a local charity shop as it had things going for it:
- SR-71
- Mod styling
- knew it would look good on my wall

One of the joys of #tax season -- getting to choose which #Retro #Calculator to use. Though I owned a #Sharp #Elsimate back in the day (I was the nerd in high school), all were acquired more recently. I loved the aesthetic of the #TexasInstruments #Datamath (I cleaned/rebuilt the battery compartment), and the #Canon 8-T was a must have (SEXAGESIMAL CALCULATOR) for the time calculation functions.

Waiting on parts.
2 printers, 1 day, and a fair bit of filament. This will eventually be a card shuffler - large capacity - perfect for Wyrmspan, Wingspan, any game with a huge deck. Canasta? Just waiting on a shipment of o-rings and screws :) Printed on my #Prusa MK4s and a #Bambu A1 Mini AMS.
