My year 2024 in podcasts. #AntennaPodEcho over 160 hrs or podcasts this year, not bad since I hardly drive anywhere I think
Let the traditional holiday gaming marathon begin! Ok this is round 2, forgot to take. A photo of the first game "Ticket to Ride" but we're not counting.... But we are keeping track of winners lol. #ttgames

Northern lights! Can barely see it with the naked eye but long exposure times do the trick! Also moose mini book library in the photo because books! 📚

New blog entry with a write up on a #textualize app I built to display weather and environmental data on a #raspberryPi with a 7in screen. Still working on the UI, but it's meeting the need!

This displays the current local weather in the upper left corner followed by more squares that collect data around my property using pi zeros and sensors. More in the writeup!

A Weather Console App with Textual

Using Textual for displaying my RaspberryPi Weather data.

What did you think about Google Ditching Podcasts? Can't say I'm surprised... just like RSS they toss out things they can't control or profit from.

I look at it as an opportunity for us to take back a little more of the internet. To celebrate(?) I think its a good time to share about my project called urPodder https://codeberg.org/meadowhawk/urPodder. It's intended to be a drop-in replacement for gPodder.net which was a really helpful service for syncing podcasts between devices. #foss #indieweb #podcast

Got the soldering iron out for the first time in 3 years! Starting small, but I have a full project piled on my workbench so it's good to have a warm-up! Also found a use for that ribbon connector I've had around for years..lol

Today I get to learn how to remove PLA from my #3dPrinter extruder, disassemble the head and replace melted connectors! More on mo 3dPrinting adventure story on my blog. https://blog.meadowhawk.xyz/adventures-in-3dprinting.html
Adventures in 3DPrinting

I have been happily printing Gridfinity parts to organize my mess of a workshop and they are simply awesome! I got a little too impatient in...

Wrapped up our #BoardGameNight with a round of Catan...and I won that too! I'm on a streak it seems! Hoping that carries over to this coming week and I get a job offer, it's been 6 months and I seem to need some extra luck right now!

Fun evening of #boardgames tonight! First up is Ticket to Ride a #eurogame from Days of Wonder. This one is our new favorite after several play through we are still back for another round! #BoardGameNight. (Edited for image alt text because I got in a rush)
I love traveling on a #train I get to where I want to go and can spend the whole time working on projects with our distractions! I only wish we had more routes here in the US.
