Fucking amateurs

Doing the irwindale renfair this weekend on Saturday, hit me up if you'll be there!

It's #MakeShitMonday! Lets see your project progress or things you've made. Anything goes! I am making progress on tearing down the 90 year old Singer 201-2. Show me what you got!

Witness me!

Mostly disassembled and removing rust off of several components in a bag of vinegar

Making (what I suspect will be the last) batch of 2026 "choose your own charity" eChallengeCoins. The 0.8mm thick PCBs have been assembled, tested, and flash with the text adventure game. Now it's on to lasering all of the brass.

It's #MakeShitMonday! Lets see your project progress or things you've made. Anything goes! I picked up a new restoration project and started tearing into it. Show me what you got!

My camp bin organization, this was before gridfinity existed 😂

News cycles are borked, escaping for a bit

Just arrived @bsidessd.bsky.social

I love this more than I should

It's #MakeShitMonday! Lets see your project progress or things you've made. Anything goes! I learned how to make the hat I usually wear. I need to adjust the shape of the next one but I learned a lot. Show me what you got!

This project is done. The bill is a bit too long and the side panels are not quite the right shape but for the first one this is good enough, but the fit is spot on. Lots of mistakes were made and I learned a lot. This is canvas and will be waxed but the next one will be herringbone wool.

Sweatband and liner are in, I just need to anchor the bill to the front crown and this project is done.

This evenings progress, got the liner and brim cut and sewn. Might get them attached tonight if I play my cards right.

If you know me even a little bit you can probably guess what I'm making.

It's #MakeShitMonday! Lets see your project progress or things you've made. Anything goes! Rigged up a projector in the garage to display templates and am using a 24x32 cutting mat for calibration. It works a treat and will be really useful for future projects Show me what you got!

Alright, I tried using a projector to display patterns for transferring to fabric instead of printing them on paper. This is so much faster and is going to be really nice for prototyping! Took a bit of setup but I love it

v2.1.0 of my #evangelion #neovim #theme is released! updates include contrast fixes, color consistency, tweaks, and typo fixes github.com/xero/evangel... #neongenesis #neongenesisevangelion #unit01 #custom #ricing #noricenolife #nvim #neovimtheme #neovimrice

have you ever fucked up git so bad it became guitar hero

You know it's been a couple months where the hardware has been on pause while I was moving to Los Feliz. I need to get back on the ADCS prototype, but in the meantime. Check out this lil satellite simulator I coded up flotilla.space/orbit

It's #MakeShitMonday! Lets see your project progress or things you've made. Anything goes! I rebuilt a motor for a sewing machine this weekend. Show me what you got!

I'm reviving a dead ebike by removing all the proprietary stuff that requires an app on your phone to use and replacing it with generic Aliexpress parts. Today I gave the battery pack a brain transplant, and now it outputs voltage and charges.

This looks a lot more interesting than rebuilding a sewing machine motor

Cleaned up the commutator with it still attached to the motor shaft using aluminum oxide sandpaper. The commutator stone sat this one out.

Rebuilding another electric motor. The commutator needs some love, chucking it in the lathe will make this quick and easy.

Looking at making stickers or maybe even pins for upcoming conferences. This will be a long process as time allows but will be "thinking out loud" in this space as I iterate through different designs but this is the basic idea and first iteration.

We've been baking for you. Use code SLICE.

Absolute chonker of a battery pack in this mug.

Touching grass

That was mount looks great! I made a thing! bsky.app/profile/se.g...

It's #MakeShitMonday! Lets see your project progress or things you've made. Anything goes! I printed some brackets and got the synth mounted on the wall. Show me what you got!

These don't fit in the drawer of the sewing desk so I mounted them on the side. Accessible, in easy reach, and I won't forget where they are.

I expect that I have just severely offended all of my British friends.

There are so many subtle flavors that are fighting over each other, it is the equivalent of trying to listen to a song playing at low volume in a crowded train station. This was a fun experiment, but not one I'll repeat any time soon. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

The finish is citrus mint with a slight astringency. The flavors build as you drink, not in a pleasant way. More of the herbal vegetal notes come forward as the tea cools with a caramel blueberry-ish flavor fighting for center stage.

I expected to hate this but it is more just mild regret Tastes of a simple black tea but with the vegetal hints from green tea and some herbal notes linger on the pallet. The best way I can describe it is "oregano and spice that has been forgotten next to the heater for several months"

Bouquet: Slightly herbal with overtones of caramel, ashtray, and a hint of mint These are just the main scents, there is a lot going on there and it's so much olfactory information that it's kind of overwhelming. Kind of like static or whitenoise.

Alright here we go. There's...a lot gong on here. Lots of herbs, different kinds of tea leaves, bits of dried fruit and spices. Brewed at 185F for 3 minutes with filtered water. Color: rich amber with a slight haze

My wife is cutting open very old tea bags from the past decade to use in the garden. She is dumping it all in this jar and it looks really cool. I am going to shake it up and try to brew some when they're all open, she is very much against me doing this which means I must.

Got the synth on the wall so I can finally stop moving it from surface to surface

Doing some do

It's #MakeShitMonday! Lets see your project progress or things you've made. Anything goes! I made some pouches on the restored sewing machine. More packs and bags to come. Show me what you got!

Making more pouches, Halloween edition. This is Hex70 with a ripstop liner and Vislon zipper. Used thicker material than I should have for covering the seams, makes the rest of the pouch sit a little funny but it's ok.

G hooks arrived and the shoulder strap pouch is done. Ended up tacking the corners of the floating liner.

It's #MakeShitMonday! Lets see your project progress or things you've made. Anything goes! I made a short clip showing the progression of the weight stand I designed and built. Four design iterations in cad then cut, weld, prime, and paint. #wehackhealth Show me what you got!

Made a shoulder bag with a 400 denier shell and ripstop liner. I'm happy with how it turned out but I'm still waiting on the g-hook so I can attach it to my hiking pack to test it out.

Making some junk

California right now
