Five years ago I realized my daughters might never know I was a cartoonist.

They were 5 and 3, it was the pandemic, I hadn't made a comic in ten years. It felt strangely important that they knew their dad once made goofy drawings.

So I started making goofy drawings again.

And today, I launched a Kickstarter for a fancy book collecting 301 of my @rooniecomics@comics.town comics. Cute animals, big feelings, for all the flawed people out there.

If you've been following along, thank you. This book exists because of you.

Miami is doing their standard “hang around until the 4th quarter and then make things ugly” which has won them every series this playoffs. #nba

Jimmy Butler, holy smokes. #NBA #NBAPlayoffs

@mullaney@mastodon.social I position my image by the camera, because I know I will look at it, so that way it will come off more like I am looking at the camera and making eye contact.

#iPadOS cursor support was not to bring it closer to the Mac, it was just beta testing for #visionOS.

@mcnulla@techhub.social That all said, Denver up 21 going into the 4th, so I think this is looking out of reach.

@mcnulla@techhub.social I mean, this year? Yeah, teams scoring 120-140 regularly. And Miami seems to make up ground quick in the fourth. Anyway, I think Denver has it but the Heat make me so nervous!

What if the #Apple headset isn’t pitched as a VR/AR headset so much as a new display? A way to add additional displays to your setup. Niche, to be sure, but niche to high-end users who can afford a large price tag. It would also lessen the need to make it super portable, as the thing would be meant to be used alongside your computer. Also would make sense why it drops at WWDC. It’s a companion for a Mac Pro. Not an average consumer device.

Is Philly somehow going to lose this game?! #nba

What would make me actually upgrade my 12.9" M1 #iPad Pro?

Especially considering I somewhat regret upgrading to the M1 from my 2018 12.9" Pro.

I don't care about more power from the chip. I don't care (much) about changes in design.

Larger screen? Maybe. Landscape (and higher res) front-facing camera? Maybe. New Apple Pencil 3 features like an action button and turn to erase? Maybe. OLED screen? Maybe. Thinner bezels? Maybe.

None of these by themselves would push me to consider it. But if all these things were COMBINED, along with features like hover from the M2 that I don't have?

...

Annoyingly, that would get me thinking.

Playoff Harden?! #nba

Forget League Pass, I would happily pay a good amount to stream ALL #NBA playoff games (finals included) so I didn’t have to follow three to four different networks to track all this stuff down. Had to do a free trial of FuboTV tonight just to watch this Knicks game.

Is there ANY #NBA media on Mastadon?

Well, bright side is Draymond’s podcast gets an early start tonight. #nba

@scottstein@mastodon.social Perfect time for Apple Vision.

@mcnulla@techhub.social 😂

@BlackRonin72@sfba.social Team is old. They need the AM games. Like old folks hitting the early bird special at the restaurant! Amazing performance by Loon and Steph!

Bucks just trying so hard to lose this. #nba

Giannis not looking hurt tonight. Great to see him at full speed. #nba

@josephgruber@josephgruber.space I did in fact drag the kids out into the middle of nowhere in New Jersey and yes, saw no auroras, borealis or otherwise. But we did see way more stars than we do normally, and def caught some shooting stars, so overall worth it. Good to know it wouldn’t be naked eye visible even in the best conditions where I am.

@fxgibbons@mastodon.social Thanks, this looks like an OK list to start too: https://www.rednationhoops.com/p/a-quick-guide-for-nba-twitter-on
