I took some old pixel fonts, turned them into vector fonts, but normalized their cap height… so the original pixel size is now serving as this new strange property – kind of like “pixel resolution.”

It’s kind of interesting to play with! I made a little playground and you can also download all the fonts I made there: https://aresluna.org/pixel-fonts/

please let me see all the hidden machinery, pumps, control systems, what's behind those "staff only" doors, everything.

I'd pay a lot of money for that, lol.

I just noticed my website (hosted by Nearly Free Speech) is accessible on https, which I didn't do. It's been on my todo list for a while (I know, I know...), but apparently NFS just decided to do it? 🤔

Recently officially renamed the "William H. Gray III 30th Street Station" (but no one calls it that), Philadelphia's main rail station is a neoclassical gem. Located just across the river from Center City in West Philadelphia, it serves Amtrak, SEPTA, and a few NJ Transit trains. The modernist glass Cira Center office complex next door is a striking contrast.

I've been keeping an electronic journal of one kind or another since 2001, most of which is imported into Day One now. It's both fascinating and disconcerting to see which concerns of mine have changed over the years—and which haven’t.

Anyone else remember shopping here in the 80s? As a kid I always liked their logo, which I saw all over the place since it was on their pricing stickers. What a cool logo. #design #retro #logo

The good news is: we made it out of winter without depleting European gas storage sites! The bad news, we'll need to refill ~twice as much gas as past years to refill to healthy levels. Every new heat pump, solar panel and wind turbine will help us reach that goal more easily:

The July 1987 issue of Computer Language magazine reviewed half a dozen Lisp implementations for MS-DOS and the Macintosh. There are a few I didn't know such as TransLISP by Solution Systems.

Frosty breath whispers,
Sunrise paints the sky with gold,

like most folks, I want action plans not hand-wringing. ‘Abundance’ provides both a perspective on what went wrong and a sketch of what needs doing. focus on action for a better society, not reaction against one Party or another.

this book is well worth reading and talking and thinking about. I do not agree with all its conclusions, and we need to hear what it has to say. we need goals, not just reaction.

While I appreciate Mastodon, I’ve decided to move to BlueSky and post there only from now on because I’m sick of having to look at, and post on, multiple platforms. Between Mastodon and BlueSky, I chose BlueSky due to its superior user experience.

I have also completely stopped opening or posting on X (Twitter).

I will still post major announcements on Mastodon.

Please follow me on BlueSky from now on: https://bsky.app/profile/nadim.computer

I enjoyed this set from Gallowstreet on KEXP. They reminded me of Meute and Moon Hooch (assuming those band names mean something to you), but probably just because of the bassy brass and they've got a fun sound. They're really their own thing. Check 'em out.

Oh cool. They're on Bandcamp too:
