Engineering nerd, activist for various things, awful old Corvettes, angry gay, friend you haven't met yet. I tell the occasional joke.
Something I really like about the character of Nick Nelson is that he struggles a bit (β€œIs this who I am? Do I love this person?”) but once he decides he commits and difficulties be damned.

Tonight in experimental cocktails: home made frozen Margaritas. 🍸

Result: Not bad but I need a better bar blender.

I’m watching Temple of Doom and marveling at how bad it is compared to Raiders or Last Crusade.

Reupping my introduction for another new batch of followers.

I'm Blake from Houston,Tx.
I make weird modernist art jewelry and have a thing for small silly cars. I post lots of  #weirdcarmastodon stuff.

My work is posted under the #art #jewelry and #craft hashtags.

I'm a middle-aged punk and old school antifascist.

Boosts are awesome.

This week’s episode of Strange New Worlds was better than I expected.

Yes, I do a lot of gay stuff on the internet. But as a computer scientist I kind of feel like I’m disrespecting Alan Turing if I don’t.
I needed to build a full size IKEA dresser this weekend and wow are those things fiddly with about a zillion little screws. Bad weekend for my power screwdriver to still be packed in a box somewhere post-move. That said, it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as when I built a full size sectional couch, my personal IKEA Everest.

The National Building Museum in DC has an exhibit called House and Home with much to see:

* Full scale mockups of past and present construction techniques
* Scale models of iconic buildings including Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater
* Tons of photos and objects from households of the past century
* Short films of unique homes
* The tour of the museum building itself is also fascinating

Feeling good about myself for repairing rather than replacing some formerly broken IKEA furniture.
