It's snowing in Westfield, IN! You'd think it was a blizzard of North Westeros by the amount of people in the grocery store.
I just needed some milk. (just saying)

#WinterWeather #WestfieldIN
Snow falls on a residential backyard in Westfield, Indiana, with a light dusting covering the grass and houses visible in the background under a grey sky. The user's post humorously compares the light snowfall to a "blizzard of North Westeros," noting that the grocery store was crowded when they went to buy milk.

Nothing grinds my gears like this rental's bathroom vanity. Eight incandescent bulbs. One is crooked. One is the wrong color temperature. The inefficiency and visual chaos are too much. Looks like I am buying a bulk pack of 2700K LEDs in the near future.
A horizontal bathroom vanity light fixture featuring a row of eight round globe bulbs mounted above a mirror. The fifth bulb from the left emits a harsh, cool white light that contrasts sharply with the warm yellow glow of the other seven bulbs. Additionally, the fourth bulb from the left is positioned at a crooked angle, disrupting the uniform alignment of the fixture.

To the uninitiated, the sky is chaos. To the Astromagus, it is clockwork. Three suns orbit the Cendith Anomaly, a dimensional scar where physics thins. Read the latest entry from the Archives to understand the how behind the Grand Alignment.

Our new house band has taken the stage. A cellist, a saxophonist, and a vocalist who hasn't blinked in days. They're locked in a frozen groove under the plastic gazebo, playing the quietest Jingle Bells you'll never hear.

#LEGOChristmas #HolidayDecor
A close-up photo focuses on a LEGO winter scene displayed on a mantle, featuring a brown and white gazebo with a Christmas tree inside. Three minifigure musicians stand in the snow as a silent holiday band. On the left, a figure with long hair and glasses plays a cello. In the center, a singer wearing a green sweater with a snowman pattern holds a microphone. On the right, a musician in a blue sweater and red scarf plays a gold saxophone. The background shows the texture of a jigsaw puzzle on the wall behind the display.

Did you know the COPY command has a built-in Array function? Stop using the heavy Array tool for simple lines. Here is how to use the "Hidden" Array and Fit options inside the standard Copy command.
The Secret "Array" Hidden Inside the COPY Command

The clear tape died. I’m now staring at a roll of blue painter’s tape and wondering if the family will accept "industrial chic" as a theme. If your gift looks like a hostage situation, just say thank you.

Making chicken soup. The aroma takes me back to my youth visiting my grandma in Newark. She lived in an upstairs apartment, and I remember catching the smell halfway up the stairs. Chasing those memories today.

A large stainless steel stockpot sits on a black stovetop, filled to the brim with homemade chicken soup stock. The broth is packed with large aromatic ingredients, including wedges of red onion, celery stalks, and generous bunches of fresh dill and herbs floating on the surface.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Officially festive. The tree is lit, the fire is roaring, and Leroy has claimed the best spot in the house. Rare footage of the beast in standby mode. This is peak cozy season here in Westfield, IN.

A black and white Boston Terrier sleeps soundly on a small grey rug directly in front of a fireplace with glowing red embers. To the left of the fireplace, a portion of a lit Christmas tree is visible near a window, while cut logs sit on the tiled hearth floor next to the sleeping dog.

The Dragons are not beasts of this world. They are the Xen-Dracana, interdimensional invaders who use the Cendith Cloud as a gateway. The archives regarding the Origins of the Rift are now open on the Chronicles of the Dragon Mist.
dragonmistrpg.blogsp...
A stylized red silhouette of a dragon standing in profile with large, bat-like wings and a spined tail. The entities we call Dragons are not of the Trynarr System. They are intruders. While the common folk call it the 'Dragon Mist,' navigators know it as the Cendith Anomaly: a dimensional scar where the laws of physics thin. They do not come for land; they come for The Shine. They are intelligent, they are ancient, and they remember that we are holding their stolen power.

The AutoCAD Ribbon was designed for people who do not know what they want to do next. The Command Line is for those who do. Here is why I disable the Ribbon, reclaim my screen real estate, and stick to the Old School ways.

A minimalist, high-contrast illustration of a classic CAD interface featuring a static left sidebar with drawing tools and four black viewports. The layout demonstrates a clean, Ribbon-free workspace that prioritizes screen real estate and efficiency, reflecting the "Old School" drafting style where the sidebar and command line rule over modern UI clutter.

I'm running a "Workday Genre Rotation" experiment. No algorithms. Just vibes.

Mon: Psybient
Tue: Prog Rock
Wed: Melodeath
Thu: Doom Jazz
Fri: Celtic Fantasy

See how my sonic diet fuels my CAD & coding work:

I'm finally back. After a year of moving boxes and radio silence, Extruding the Noise is live again. I needed a hard reset to get my creative brain working for music, CAD, and writing. So I started a strict "Workday Genre Rotation" experiment. No algorithms. Just specific vibes for specific days. Monday: Psybient Tuesday: Prog Rock Wednesday: Melodeath Thursday: Doom Jazz Friday: Celtic Fantasy It turns out, what I listen to changes how I code and 3D model.

It's moving day!
U-Haul moving truck parked on a suburban street in front of a beige house with a brown roof. The truck features a large graphic of a Viking ship labeled "MINNESOTA" and includes U-Haul branding such as "Truck Share 24/7" and "Gentle-Ride Van." Autumn trees with colorful foliage line the background, and a small, unreadable sign is placed on the grass near the truck.

Getting older is realizing no couples actually cuddle while they sleep. They tell each other goodnight, rollover, one snores and farts all night while the other watches Social Media till their eyes burn.

Fish 'n Chips? No.
Sticks 'n Bits? Maybe.
How about just some Fish and Potatoes.
A paper plate on a speckled countertop holds several breaded fish sticks and a serving of crispy tater tots. To the left of the plate is a small glass bowl containing a light red dipping sauce made from horseradish and ketchup, suggesting a casual, comfort-food snack.

Relocating is hard, especially 10 hours away. The packing, the logistics, the stress. But the hardest part is when family gives you grief for leaving, without considering why: to grow, to improve, to build something better.
Relocating is never easy, especially when it’s to another state 10 hours away. Between packing, coordinating movers, renting trucks, updating addresses, and managing logistics, the stress is real. But the hardest part isn’t the boxes or the miles. It’s when family members react with disappointment or guilt, not because of what we’re doing, but because of how it affects them. We didn’t make this decision lightly: we chose to move to better ourselves, to grow, and to create a stronger foundation for our future. That deserves understanding, not judgment. To those who’ve supported us, thank you: To our friends who cheered us on, and to our sons (who didn’t even blink when we said we were moving), your love and trust mean everything. You remind us why this journey is worth it. Here’s to new beginnings. Even when they come with tough goodbyes.

You know you're getting old when one Double IPA and a sodium-packed Chinese food feast leave you waking up like you partied with rockstars.

Last night: I deserve this.

This morning: I deserve electrolytes and a nap.

First BSOD since February.
This setup’s been rock solid… until AutoCAD decided to throw hands.
Mid-project. Time-sensitive. Naturally.
Stop code: 0x00000000 — vague enough to be insulting.
85% collected… unlike my deadline.
A computer screen displays a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error message stating the system ran into a problem and needs to restart, with progress at 85%. Behind the error message, part of the Autodesk AutoCAD logo is visible, suggesting the crash occurred while using AutoCAD.

Picked up these locally made gems from Raub's Farm Market and gave them a little pan-fry love myself. Crispy edges, warm filling, total comfort. Nothing beats cooking up something local and delicious to fuel the afternoon.
A plate of golden-brown pierogies, pan-fried to a crisp and arranged neatly. The dumplings have slightly blistered edges and a warm, inviting sheen. They sit on a simple dish atop a rustic surface, suggesting a cozy, homemade lunch. Steam rises gently, hinting they were freshly cooked.

Me: Time for bed.
Also me at 2:47 AM: What if my desktop theme changed color based on the genre of the track I’m listening to—and subtly judged my taste in psybient?

Born on this day in 2018, and stormed into our lives that November like the legend he was named after.

From the moment we brought him home, this Boston terrier has been all sass, all heart, and all snorts.
Collage of seven photos featuring Leroy Jenkins, a black and white Boston Terrier, in various playful and relaxed poses. He’s seen lounging indoors, sitting alertly, and playing with a blue ball on a grassy lawn. His expressive face and signature black-and-white markings highlight his sassy, spirited personality across each moment.

Does anyone else have this similar post-coding ritual? Or is it just me?

I've developed a quirky little habit whenever I solve a challenging coding problem. The moment my code works exactly as I want it to, I get up and walk away from my desk.
The image shows a computer screen with code written in a Lisp-like language, likely AutoLISP, used for AutoCAD automation. The code checks for a list of utilities and prints each item’s category and symbol. It also lists electrical drops from the project file. The text editor uses color highlighting to make the code easy to read.

I'm canceling because the platform has become oversaturated with AI-generated music and mainstream content controlled by major labels. It's increasingly difficult to discover authentic, independent artists that align with my tastes.
