Planted two more fruit trees today, 4/28/2024. Both are multi-varietal and self-pollinating. So if they survive they should bear fruit. Additionally, the Mcintosh and Red Delicious varieties can pollinate our existing Wolf River apple tree. One of the grafted branches is actually already in bloom.. The Van and Lambert cherries may be able to pollinate… Continue reading Two More Fruit Trees

Fermentations 2023
Now that we are back home and we *gasp* have an actual pantry/kitchen closet for the first time, I’ve gone ahead and harvested some veggies to kick off fermentation season 2023! This year I’m doing a large batch of store bought orange bell pepper and habenero, with a smaller (due to yield) batch of home… Continue reading Fermentations 2023
Cyborg Augmentations v0.7 – Time Keeping
Clocks Suck At least, human readable clocks do. There’s so many edge cases to account for and I haven’t even gotten into automatically adjusting my time zone for daylight savings… Regardless, here’s the code I rapidly tossed together in an impromptu code sprint last night. It includes the following features so far: My next goals… Continue reading Cyborg Augmentations v0.7 – Time Keeping
Handy Dandy Robot Pals – Part 1: Planning
The goal for 2024 will be to create a household robot. One with actual utility that helps solve a household problem for me. Step 1? What do I even have for problems! In order to be useful and carry actual utilitarian merit (and thus justify paying to recharge it’s battery) I first need to identify… Continue reading Handy Dandy Robot Pals – Part 1: Planning
I’ve got a gripe with Doctor Strange 2 (in The Multiverse of Madness).
I’ve got a gripe with Doctor Strange 2… Sure, it seems like a minor thing and to casual viewers I’m sure they would never even notice. Out of my party of four I’m the only one who even understood the reference, nevermind what was lost as a result. It’s almost a throw-away line in a… Continue reading I’ve got a gripe with Doctor Strange 2 (in The Multiverse of Madness).
Cyborg Augmentations v0.2
Electronics work is nearly complete for the wrist mounted life tracker. It’s achieved 100% functionality, and honestly much quicker than expected. It was fast enough that I plan to expand functionality beyond initial goals.. Just not sure exactly WHAT to expand it’s capabilities to yet.. Right now functionality of the device includes: Properly connecting to… Continue reading Cyborg Augmentations v0.2
The Wagon has Long Since Passed…
Ok, confession time. My family home burned down back at the end of June and I am just getting back up to speed now.. Sure, I’ve done some pretty sweet shit in the meantime, started a couple of new hobbies, etc.. Will probably post some more details about that later, but there’s also been alot… Continue reading The Wagon has Long Since Passed…
Feasting on the Flesh of a Black Cow: Diet Detour #2
Saturdays remain “cheat” days in our household. My chance to set aside my normal low-calorie high-protein diet and strap on the feed bag for whatever I want on my plate. Today, it was a burger. Not just any burger though, we took the opportunity to try another local establishment that’s new to our family, Black… Continue reading Feasting on the Flesh of a Black Cow: Diet Detour #2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge (Trailer)
News today in the turtle realm, there’s a new “16-bit”-esque beat’em up coming out for PC and Consoles. The trailer went for an interesting angle, remixing the ’87 turtles cartoon theme and laying it over all new animation and a tone that’s closer to the ’03 turtles.. I can dig it, but time will tell… Continue reading Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge (Trailer)

PIzza, again? Well, yeah, I told you kid I’ve got a pizza streak a mile long and it’s not stopping anytime soon. Anyways, we baked some thin chicken breast to eat with lunch and there was some left over, which was the perfect opportunity to try out a jar of Buffalo Pizza sauce I picked… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe
