The Final Busdown
Desert Bus for Hope is an annual charity streaming event by friends of mine in Victoria, BC. It runs for a week and this year they raised more than $1,250,000 for charity.
The ostensible goal of the stream is to play a game called 'Desert Bus' which was part of a set of games called "Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors" and it has been called the worst game of all time. Which makes it beautifully poetic that it is the underpinning of this amazing charity event each year.
Today was it's finale and this is how they end the stream. It's just my favorite thing.

Today's chess win
Sure, I won this game. But also I am testing the embed code for lichess which takes the game's link and then makes what you are (hopefully) seeing above.

Glowbug Embeds
So one of the powers of my own blog engine is that I've done a lot of automation that I call 'embeds.' This is code that allows inputting a URL or a code string and having it turned into more robust HTML. This is things like YouTube videos ending up on page, as well as when you see my movie poster or book blocks.
But, today I added a few things for functionality.
- Bluesky - I finally sat down with the API and coded the simple tool that takes in a Bsky post and fetches the html for embedding.
- YouTube & Wikipedia - They both make use of a tool called iframly which is meant to be a tool that unifies the fetching of embed code for the video or the link to a Wikipedia page. Youtube had been used peviously but it was a shitty implementation and this one looks so much better.
- lichess - The site I regularly play chess on and now I can simply link to a game's URL and have it embed an iframe which enables visitors to actually play the embedded game.
There are a lot more potential embed codes via using iframely, but I don't know if I'll ever use them. We'll see.
