Seattle is always so miserable. Look what I have to put up with on my lunchtime walk.

+Naomi Black The smell of the chocolate shop was so strong today it wafted all the way down to the bridge!

Twitter is down for me and I just had to share.

Curious how many people who follow me here also follow me on Twitter (twitter.com/dewitt). Is there an overlap in audience?

My engagement rates (not just overall engagement) are still orders of magnitude greater here on Google+, but I still check both several times each day.

+Marshall Kirkpatrick Interesting. I post quite a bit more on Twitter if you count by number of items, yet it seems like each post here is "worth" more. I mentally divide it up that way, too.

A longer batch of photos from the Hoh Rainforest. Everything taken with the Nexus 5, with whatever enhancement was applied automatically by Google+. Pretty much everything looked good enough that I didn't really regret not carrying around a fancy camera. The future is almost here.

The best low-level hardware hacking article I've read this year. Not just because of the project itself, which is to build a sprite engine using a programmable FPGA, but also because author Andy Brown goes into such crystal clear detail that even I, a total circuit-building layman, learned something with every word.

From the author: "In this project I’m going to attempt to design and build a sprite-based graphics accelerator that will function as a co-processor to an MCU. Using cheap off-the-shelf components I’m hoping to achieve a level of gaming performance that compares well to popular commercial hand-held gaming consoles."

So thorough that it took two sessions to finish reading. Highly recommended.

A very warm welcome to my most ambitious project to date. In this project I'm going to attempt to design and build a sprite-based graphics accelerator that will function as a co-processor to an MCU...

The STM32F429VIT6 is an excellent chip. Wish someone sold it on a reference board with a good chunk (512mb) of SDRAM.

That's unpossible.

This isn't an illustration. This is a photo of a real, three-dimensional, tasty, tasty cake.

Photographers Dan and Stacia set up outside in Queen Anne on Halloween and grabbed this portrait of DeWitt and me. I wish he would wear this outfit every day.

I might be a bit biased...but I think this photo of both DeWitts (son and grandson) is awesome!

+Baratunde Thurston lets loose on the issue of faked/forced product virality, which not only drives the users insane (in this case, clearly costs a potential paying customer) but also clouds any real uptake the product might have. You'd think VC's would do more to educate their founders on growth ethics, but maybe this is considered a viable way to cash out in the next round. Sad, as I bet some good product ideas, like this one, get burned by such poor behavior.
I submitted the following letter to Unroll.me after signing up for its service earlier today. I’ve decided to share it m…

The PDP-11 minicomputer was a work of grungy art. I love the linked screenshot of the octal instructions for bootstrapping the OS taped to the side of the chassis.

Nostalgic thoughts and wonderful memories - thanks for sharing. (I missed the folded-papertape reader and handy DECtapes though)

"Apparently, I've never been on live television before."  No worries, kid, you nailed it.
