A couple of months ago, Linus Media Group got in contact, asking me to review its range of screwdrivers. After many weeks of testing (fixing two PCs, 3D printer and some shelves), my review of the #LTT screwdrivers is now live!

Was doing so well with the old #sleepapnea tonight. Only woke once at 3.30am, comfort break, swig of water, back to sleep... Lay there for 15 minutes trying to get comfortable...the effort of which woke me up properly, so I'm now downstairs with the dog on my lap feeling vaguely pissed off.

Ho hum.

I know other people have bigger problems, but I do object and feel depressed about not sleeping through the night for...yikes...15 years. Can't be good for me!

Do I know anyone who does beachcombing in the UK?
I'm sorting out set pieces for a production of Come From Away. Part of the set we want is 2 big pieces of fishing net (trawler weave size) plus some stuff to decorate them as they hang on the set. I've got some driftwood but I also want some large fishing floats, and other flotsam. Does anyone know where I might get hold of some cheap/knackered things like that? :-)

Our sponsored team of self-driving robot designers are back with a new and improved robot, competing to collect cubes in this years more difficult arena. How did they do?

Happy Birthday @biglesp 🙂 Another year older, another year... wiser?

Extremely local post! If you're on the east side of #PDX and interested in farm fresh eggs delivered to your door every two weeks, message me. Our farm has a couple slots open for egg delivery. They are, without a doubt, the best eggs you can get anywhere, from the happiest chickens.

(This is kind of a test to see if Masto works for local posing.)

UPDATE 4/17: I think we're all full now, but feel free to ping me to get on the waitlist. Masto works!
