Meine nimmerkalte Kaffeetasse ist eingetroffen! Es soll ja Magie sein. Aber erstmal laden. Danach so bald wie möglich testen.

Perfect sunday morning coming down.

Coffee at precisely 145°F courtesy of the Ember mug (the only IoT device that has actually improved my life)

Lots of code that will definitely work on the first try.

The git diff on the right is giving "optimistic green, concerning red" energy but that's a future me problem.

// TODO: fix later — me, mass-producing technical debt since 2008

🔥 Keeping it hot, sip after sip! 🔥

Nothing beats a perfectly warm cup of coffee, and my Ember Mug makes sure it stays just right. No more rushing to finish before it gets cold—just pure coffee bliss at the perfect temp.

What’s your ideal coffee temperature? ☕

Got an ember mug² as a gift. It's a nice coffee mug. Sadly it is controlled via an app over Bluetooth. No manual controls.

Tried over an hour to get the app working. Connecting the mug works flawless, but then it requires an account to actually use the damn thing. Sign up via Apple did not work, nor did the login via an account created on their website.

So, what now? The mug is e-waste without the app. Looks like this thing is going back ​

In this episode I play a song by Chrissy Zebby Tembo; I am retiring from my day job; getting laid off in the “dot-bomb bust” put me on this path; the new podcasting machine is still getting the toolchain set up; I am moving from Dropbox to Syncthing; my digital and physical lives are about throwing things in boxes and never looking again; I gave in and bought an Ember mug; I am fighting that voice in my head that resists me doing anything; grampa continues to drive me crazy; I joined the American Pencil Collector Society and now I have octogenarian pen pals; let’s go to the pencil convention in 2025!
