We've had young nephew staying over since Friday, and while it might be tempting to think that's only 50% more parenting, it really does seem to scale as a fully-connected graph. So 3x the parenting.

My great grandfather invented boxer-brief underpants. Yes, really.

I had a really nice experience this evening of someone complimenting my performance in a play more than a year ago. I am still really proud of that show, so I love to hear that audience members loved it, too.
An album called "Songs From the Big Chair" but it's Patrick Stewart singing jazz filk

Went walking to the library both to pick up a hold and also to see whether we'd spy that coyote again. No luck on the latter, but Sprocket charmed the librarians, as he often does.
Spotted a coyote while out walking today!
For reasons unclear to me, for the past several days, my brain radio has been playing a medley of Depeche Mode's Violator(1990) album. Not sure why or how to get it to stop.

@jeffluszcz I think Striped-Son and I may have seen you, but he was getting cold so we hopped back on the bike and have ridden back home

@futurebird @lienrag this moment tickles my brain in the same way that thinking about polygonal lathe turning does (and it's the same math)

My dude, you decided that the facetious joke post was an invitation for you to sealion all the way in.
You're in the wrong here. Just take the L and learn from it.

@albinokid@nerdculture.de you will obviously have to come to the decision which makes the most sense for your family; I am not a public figure and value my pseudonymy, so my celebrations of my Stripeydottir and Striped-Son don't include posting pictures, and instead are only pseudonymous anecdotes. Right now this seems right for us and also people get to share in our joy at a healthy remove.

@albinokid@nerdculture.de I love being a dad so much! I'm genuinely thrilled for ANYBODY who decides to embrace being a parent, and I am so happy that these joys are yours too, now!
Thinking about Kalman filters, which I'm not at all expert in.
Dreamt that I was taking some kind of cadets camping, and for some reason a bunch of them were wearing enormous flip flop sandals made out of pool kickboards, and they kept tripping over things like tent guylines and such. Knocking things over, starling one another. All very weird.
I spent much of the day yesterday outside, walking with the dog, or biking from place to place. While I was fine at the time, this morning my allergies are absolutely bonkers while medication comes back online...
I'd really like to wrap the low-level (motor on for so long, at such and so PWM duty cycle) stuff for this robot with higher-level absolute drive stuff (go in this direction for this distance), which I could try to do with more characterization of the drive train (and indeed this would be an interesting exercise regardless) but of course this is skid steer, so consistency is not is strong point.
I'd like to do some kind of odometry, and an optical mouse sensor mounted on the bottom seems like the natural candidate for this...
