It jammed all the time. So I built a second one. That also jammed. So I built a third one. That froze the computer, caught on fire, and jammed. But the fourth one worked!01 Sep 2026 01:16 +0000at://did:plc:bctrmry4fjnsko4gvqshrh2l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mugapera4o2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/kefkafloyd.bsky.social/post/3mucjnwmnv677Coyote vs. ACME is a wonderful film.

Once a two-bit organization, always a two-bit organization. Application fees for tables (or panels) are giant red flags. If a show is that hard up for money, where else are they cutting corners? Stay united and tell them to get bent.

If I’m lucky, I can get the EasyPhoto Drive video out before VCFMW. It’ll be the last video I make before moving.
