Sometimes, you do get to the end of your todo list!

how is it that even on mastodon - a platform with the worst discoverability (kinda by design), no real cross-instance search etc. - random men who don't follow me still manage to find something I said and still decide to say something useless at me?

I watched a video recently about how to spot gen ai in creative writing and then the same week I was exposed to this opening line of a song and, well, I can't stop thinking about, because it's the perfect example. "The daylight hits me like a bruise". Daylight can hit you. Hits cause bruises […]

I still need to take some better photos, but here's the paintings from "On What We Dwell": https://fberriman.com/art/on-what-we-dwell/

A phone photo of a painting on a phone of a photo, taken in the place the photo came from. Or something.

I'm doing an art on 16th July in SF. I haven't made the flyer yet, but... https://fberriman.com/art/on-what-we-dwell/ It's actually the last thing I'm doing for my MFA before I'm all done in August!

Caved and bought an x4, and then saw this today. Nice to see an OSS project get picked up so quickly and supported by a hardware vendor. I hope they get their bags. https://www.reddit.com/r/xteinkereader/comments/1ubkflf/a_quick_note_from_xteink_on_our_collaboration/ (cc @andy)

You guys seen this thing YesPress.io? It's a total scam? They're just generating pages for people who didn't ask/permit (e.g. Alex's below), and if you look for someone who isn't on there it messages like the other people are already on there and gives […] [Original post on status.fberriman.com]

Bird rescue. So mad about impending freedom.

Lazy web: If you have a very cludgy, large @11ty website/blog, what would you do if you wanted to add an editing UI to write posts for it? My current options are: 😭 or 💀

me, earlier, enjoying a slice of strawberry birthday cake: yeah, so, when I was little, I had a wild strawberry allergy. lucky I grew out of it! teehee. me, now: why throat & mouth itchy?

I just bought one of those press things for making metal pin buttons and I feel so powerful all of a sudden.

If you've got anyone in your life struggling to see what's happening here, here's a nice little activity sheet they can use with the crayon they must currently have jammed up their nose.

Rushing through December // https://fberriman.com/2025/12/22/rushing-through-december/

Almost finished 2025's daily log. Switching to the new wallet size leuchtturm1917 for 2026, which is the same height as the B6+, same inner layout, but narrower. Has a hard cover (less good, imho) but it is basically the same size as the more expensive […] [Original post on status.fberriman.com]

I know I brought this upon myself, but I think my tumble dryer just crashed.

I only have one responsibility left for 2025: a flower arrangement demo on Friday. Almost free to bed rot with a book.

I watch a lot of movies, and rarely do I fall asleep, but I tried to watch "Shelby Oaks" TWICE and have found myself absolutely put. This film is ambien. I have this problem with my letterboxd that I never know how much of a film I have to have seen to count as a "watched".

Different art exhibit this weekend. If you are in Golden Gate Park, there's an Ikenobo ikebana exhibition on both days at the county fair building. Assuming I don't drop my vase (again), I should have an arrangement for you to spot.

Did I learn to silversmith just so I can make custom arthritis split rings for playing video games without hurting myself? Yes.

Studio Gallery in pac heights in sf is opening their annual tiny show tomorrow. I've got a couple bits in it. I'll be at the Sunday 9th November opening reception 2 - 3pm, if you must have my presence in order to look at the tiny (and a few huge) pieces […] [Original post on status.fberriman.com]

me, others, paintings, friday, bernal.

I'm Kimie Shimizu in her monster form, from Silent Hill F for tonight.

I did myself a little kindness and deleted all the RSS feeds I had for tech and gadget topics (that were once interesting but now only want to sell me shit) sites, and now have a very manageable once-or-twice a week set of feeds that are almost entirely individual blogs of people I have met IRL […]
