I’m still smitten with this parachute thing so I used the exported .png to make this sweet wallpaper.

Encode Mighty Things

Like lots of people, I’ve been geeking on the NASA Perseverance mission. Like, bought the tee shirt and shed a tear at touchdown, geeking.

One of the many cool things from the landing was the parachute that lowered the lander and the coded message it contained.

This site lets you make your own message in the parachute, so you know I had to get one for the blog and podcast.

That’s even got the coordinates of our humble corner of Virginia.

Back in the CoD saddle with the gang

I got a PS5 over the weekend. This is my first “real” console since the Xbox 360, waaaaay back when. Like, so long ago that it is probably in the MovableType era of falfa.com.

My pals have been current with the systems and they were kind enough to drag me along with them through some Call of Duty Warzone last night. It was a fun time and, despite what this video might suggest, it wasn’t all spent trying to get my audio working.

So now I’m downloading and installing a version of the game that will let me get some multiplayer reps so I’m not a complete anchor when we’re Warzoning.

Video games are fun.
