When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death’s dateless night...

My weekend morning alarm... Feels relevant 40 years on. youtu.be/6XtRoVofo8A?...

The drums in this one line up closely to my internal rhythm. Steve Wilson is a giant, and I'm looking forward to their concert (again) later this year. Porcupine Tree is what I imagine the offspring of Mars Volta, Pink Floyd, and Rush would be. youtu.be/kgwgtERCVI4?...

Thanking all that's good for Booksky, woodworking, and Vegan Food feeds. Just need a brain-wash occasionally with all the crappening that's going on. "So could ya please put my head in a tub - I could really use a cerebral scrub. Wash away what I know - it's an overrated frontal lobe."

Additional steps you can take: 1. Complain to Bambu support. 2. Set printer to LAN only more. 3. Download Orca Slicer: Official Source: github.com/SoftFever/Or... 4. Setup printer on Orca Slicer. 5. Block 3D printer from accessing the internet in your router. Do it before it updates!

Test fit, and first run of Cylon head tilting. Next steps: servo mounting for head turn (used a slew bearing with outside gear), mount cameras (@Adafruit Rpi5 M2 hat + Hailo), and scanning red eye). Then print out final head model, smooth and paint, and start on shoulders!

Every time I'm engaged in being sneaky, the image of Akroyd and Belushi tip-toeing to Minnie the Moocher plays in my head. I'm good with it.

Swing and a miss on Johnson's first round.

Today is a boring day of QOL updates. Cleaning the office, Shop, and the power cart, ripping blurays to my server in the background. Cleaning up from the holiday. While boring its one of those things that creators never seem to post about. Without organization you never know where parts are!

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

A mood and a break from more serious things, for your Saturday night listening pleasure. youtu.be/UzXhrfGv_2U?...

There once was a Tesla fan - super devoted Until the day his cybertruck exploded His ashes were spread on X it was said But when he complained, his posts were no longer promoted! #limerick

Well THAT was fun. Multiple tornados running train through my area. Fortunately for me, my little slice of pie threaded the needle. The closest one was about a mile away. I could hear the noise, but not close enough for the debris field.

👋🙂☕ 🗓️👀

In Ron we trust.

In a race against the tornados/hail, etc. to get this Ron Swanson bust 3D printed. I feel that Ron would approve of THAT being my focus.

Painted Lady from the local community garden. She’s quite a showstopper, as are most butterflies actually. Enjoy! Northern #California #butterfly #nature #photography #flower #garden

Doing a Knife giveaway as a Merry Christmas to everyone! If you're interested in woodcarving at all, you probably know how hard it is to get your hands on a Helvie Knife. I'm going to give this one away, as a Christmas Present! youtu.be/OWdOqJsEQCQ

Just started the testing on version 3 sand battery. 200w solar panel, 16 ft. of 18ga nichrome wire woven through 40 gallons of sand, and the walls of the container insulated with 1.5" plaster. We'll see if this is trusted or busted!

This morning's wake-up song (although I was already awake). Feels about right, to quote Murray Head, for the "Kind of 'mate I'm contemplating". youtu.be/BfrUQA2tb6M?...

I Just started reading Pauline Maier's "From Resistance to Revolution". I've never read this author before, and I'm only on chapter 2, but so far this book is passing the test: I have to stop reading periodically and think. I really like her writing style, too.

No post, no replies. Come on y'all

This morning's wake-up song. It's been a tough week - two all-nighter's in a row, plenty of stress, as I work to execute a judge's order for my client in an IP case. I got two hours to sleep (finally!). This is the song that my system chose for me. It worked. :) youtu.be/UMVjToYOjbM?...

About damn time.

This morning's wake-up song. These wake-up songs are chosen for me by a system that handles a lot of stuff. One of its 'jobs' is to evaluate my physical stats (heart rate, activity levels, breathing) as well as my mental state, based on my posts, emails, calendar, etc.

And now I have another descriptive word to add to my profile!

I know when I am eating right when I have one bag of garbage every 3-4 weeks, rather than weekly. The shift to only self-prepared, vegan dishes has made a huge difference in garbage output. Any waste from my preparation is put in the biodigester and becomes gas, and amazing liquid fertilizer.

433MHz is a hell of a drug.

A few months ago, I made a thing. I have a server with a bank of RTL-SDRs that pulls down law enforcement, and emergency, trunked calls in Houston and the surrounding areas. The system pulls each call separately and simultaneously, processes the audio, and transcribes the call.
