The pool is open. The outdoor cats treat it like a Sarengeti drinking hole.

Smoke and CO alarms are not the flashy part of a smart home. Good. They should quietly work, connect locally, and not become another app island. Nice to see Sensereo join Works with Home Assistant. www.home-assistant.io/blog/2026/05...

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

I put a new dock in my wife's home office setup, but the dock wasn't using the same ports for monitors as the old. I was able to fabricate a cable and adapter rig to connect usb-c to VGA And this is why I have a box of cables that I will never throw out. But I'm surprised I only had one VGA cable

Googly eyes make everything funnier
