For my day job, I work with robots and AI systems. I listen to Jazz (Hard Bop especially). I recently got a MA in Military History because I wanted to improve my reading and writing skills. I enjoy genre fiction (SF, Fantasy, Mysteries). Husband to an amazing woman and father of two more. I've managed to automate my house in a family-approved fashion (with Home Assistant, ESPHome, Tasmota). My amateur radio interests are primarily in digital modes (HF), and I'm starting to look at UHF/VHF.

Storage Tranquility

I think that I’ve achieved a state of storage tranquility. Like many with a with maker bent, I’ve accumulated all manner of bits-n-bobs. Screws, bolts, components, connectors, and any number of other little collections that are too useful to throw out but useless if I can’t find them when I need them. Over the years, I’ve used a variety of organizing mechanisms. And that was the problem, it was a variety. Different shaped containers, with different means of organization. And then, of course, there was the problem of where to keep the organizing containers?

Every time I do tech support for my family I get very angry about people who whine about lacking "tech literacy".

90% of the stuff I have to teach them is how to navigate manipulative software and dark patterns. This has nothing to do with tech, but with capitalism. Tech is not complicated, it is just made maximally confusing on purpose to remove agency.

Better tech ed won't fix this.

I don’t know who recently talked about our SMT garden soldering kit, but thank you! We’ve got a bunch of orders for it this week. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a kit designed to help you learn how to surface mount solder and get a lot of practice doing it! It features beautiful artwork designed by @Leeborg and you get to populate your flowers with the colors of your choice because we give you a lot of LEDs in the kit.

Dear Excellent Fediversian Who Recommended Timer Pill Bottle Caps: a thousand times thank you! These things are genius. SO many times (just now, for example) the timers have saved my brain-fogged ass from double-dosing. All technology should be this useful.

#TrainTuesday

Yeah I know it's a tram and Train Tuesday isn't a thing but I want to live in a world where Train (including trams, monorail, and friends) Tuesday is a thing.
