Halloween is approaching. A friendly reminder that a 1.1qt Stanley thermos will hold a bottle of wine + the remainder of the bottle you poured into two yeti wine tumblers. Also if it's too cold for wine, baileys and hot chocolate will also keep well in this combo. amzn.to/4o7kmGu amzn.to/4hxlTTS

I enjoy owning a laser.

Sending a package to @quinnypig.com. I wanted to make sure UPS knew it had no drugs in it.

Driving in Ireland is a wild experience. Never mind the fact you have to drive on the left. Even without that it would be wild. The roads are extremely narrow, what would be a one lane road in the us is two lanes in opposite direction. People park in the road and you just drive around their cars.

“Hades Town” is incredible. I think it tied with “Next to Normal” as the best musical I’ve ever seen.

www.twitch.tv/4doodles Why am I live streaming my laser? Because I can.

Getting better at this coin thing.

24 minutes to go 4 miles. This I5 work can’t finish soon enough.

Took some party drugs tonight. Advil, Tylenol, and, Famatodine.

There are two kinds of travelers. Get to the airport just in time to walk into the boarding line, and the “time is my friend “ type. I’m the latter. Travel days are for me. Time in the lounge. Time alone on the plane. I’d be happy going the whole day not talking to anyone.

I made my son a brass coin. The laser etched it out of a brass blank. Then I ran it through a magnetic polisher and aged it with “Brass Black”. He loved it. Now he wants to make other coins.

This is pretty deep inside baseball but I think it’s cool. AWS’ plans for how we will be issuing certs in the EU Sovereign Cloud. A CA and issuance capacity operated by Europeans. aws.amazon.com/blogs/securi...

Now that the TSA isn't making people take their shoes off I don't think I can comfortably fly anymore. How will we be safe if people can keep their shoes on?

First day at Great Wolf Lodge. Pleased to learn there’s enough chlorine in the water to clear a WW1 trench.

I have to get the ventilation setup, build the enclosure, figure out lightburn... Or maybe I'll just plug it in tomorrow in my garage and see what happens.

I think it’s incredible that anyone today can easily do business with random businesses on the other side of the world. Including getting multiple quotes and settling on a competitive offer. All from the comfort of my couch.

This was either an amazing decision or a horrible one.

Just launched!! Get the certs out of ACM. $15/san, $149/wildcard. aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aw...

Waiting in line for the over capacity delta lounge. The amount of entitlement on display from people in the crowd. We get it, you also paid for a fancy credit card. Wait your damn ass in line.

Today is Lexapro's second birthday. To celebrate, I brought her to work and gave her a double dose of CBD.

If you’re wondering when the decline of the American empire started. It was when kale went from being decoration on the salad bar to food on the salad bar. www.today.com/food/trends/...

I’m in my forties. I’d like to stop having nightmares about being in college.

I connected my smart home to an LLM. Now if someone tries to change the temp on the thermostat, the house reverts the change and then threatens the person. The LLM generates the threat and Alexa says it. Examples:

Every once in a while I like to get low and whisper into Lexapro's ear "In an apocalypse, you're food".

Weekend project: running ventilation for my H2D. The inline fan and the printer both talk to home assistant so fan is automated and runs when the printer does.

The user experience is incredible. Check a box and get a cert.

Today’s coffee: A Kona peaberry pour over. It’s delightful.

I saw a black Rivian R1S with the license plate TUFLESS and it made my day.

Pro tip: when branding wood, it’s much better to get the wood wet first. It results in a crisper brand. Also don’t leave the brand on the wood too long or press down too hard. Not necessary.

Spent the day roasting coffee. 33ish pounds turned into 28ish roasted.

We have a really cool opening in Berlin! Are you interested in running a Certificate Authority or know someone who is? Send them my way! www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/2904...

Super excited to announce that AWS Private Certificate Authority (AWS PCA) now supports partitioned CRLs. If you use a partitioned CRL, the max number of certs per CA is now 20 million (vs 1 million for complete CRLs). docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/la...

Getting medicine into a three year old that doesn’t want it should be a competitive sporting event.

Happy Valentines Day! If you catch a cupid I recommend a reverse sear and my could rub. Cook to 122° on indirect heat then sear the outside. Let it rest. Rub: - salt and pepper liberally - mix equally cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. - apply mix lightly….

In awe at the amazing professionals at Children’s Hospital. On Friday our son’s pediatrician sent an xray to their ortho team. By that evening he was admitted and on Saturday he had surgery for SCFE. Everyone at the hospital was amazing and the boy is set for a full recovery.

Guard your sleep with ferocity.

This looks much, much better.

My roasting partner laughed at me when I started stockpiling green coffee beans. WHO IS LAUGHING NOW @caitlyn.io??? I’m sitting on several hundred pounds of greens.

My wife would get really mad.

lol. It’s not going to work.

They apologized profusely. New staff made an oopsie they said. They’re sending me the proper beans.

Tonight’s dinner: - chateaubriand with a wine reduction sauce - salad - roasted mini potatoes - green beans - a Merlot Nothing survived long enough to get pictures.

A ray of hope on a dark day.

This coffee was sold to me as a "light" roast. I think they sent me the wrong bean by mistake. There is no way this is a light roast. I sent them an email with pics, let's see what they say.
