Seems like an ideal size for gridfinity in those cute little harbor freight
toolboxes is 3 units deep by 3 units tall by whatever width is appopriate.

The drawer doesn't extend enough to easily get in the back s...

I got a fortune cookie preaching to me about the joys of being nerd sniped.

I spent a decadent amount of time dialing in my Feeds and Speeds to get a clean
test cut V Carving Poplar with my MPCNC.

I finally got around to an MVP of automated POSSE with my Astro powered static blog. Here's a blog post about it.

Just implemented automated POSSE syndication for ephemera posts using
CloudCannon's postbuild hooks!

If it goes the well, it should syndicate new ephemera to Mastodon and Bluesky
after each successful build.

Makes me a bit...

Maybe I need a privilege check, but this CNC setup feels way less fancy than
how people respond when they hear I have one.

It's in my gratitude journal and all, but it's conduit pipe screwed to 2x4s.

It’s kind of refreshing to see that AI also has no idea how regular expressions work.

I’d respect it more if it copped to it instead of drawing me into a series of prompts that read like a crummy magician failing to learn a new card trick.

I made an Arduinoboy! Now, I can use a Game Boy to control MIDI devices and vice versa.

Wires hither and yon connecting exposed electronics to a Game Boy Advance SP against all odds. A yellow box with a friendly white mechanical key begging to be pressed. Near the button, two midi ports. An intriguing green glow seeps out of holes in the front of the box.

I made an arcade stick style controller for retro gaming.

An arcade stick style game controller made from a cigar box. The inside of a cigar box that has been used as the case for a video game controller. You can see how the buttons and joystick are wired to a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller.

Part of this might be my fault. I live in Ohio and did say "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse". It was hyperbole. I didn't eat a horse. I ate an egg sandwich. That's the whole story. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Note to self: If at any time I'm undecided in a future election, do not take any questions about it.

I added share to mastodon and bluesky links to my blog. I wonder how long until I accidentally share a link to `localhost:4321/blog/some-post`.

I wrote a post about how Zod complements TypeScript because the subtly different concerns of each seems a bit nuanced. ryanparsley.com/blog/zod.html
