Happy Veteran's Day, ya'll. I hope you left your boots out last night so Capt America could fill them with Rip-Its, Copenhagen, Monsters, and Zyn.

Happy birthday, U.S. Air Force! Looking pretty damned good at 78. Here's to another year of being the deadliest fighting force in human history!

I have the cutest damned cat. It’s hard to believe this little man is ~12 years old!

In today’s episode of My Kid is Cooler Than Yours, we’re using our 3D printer to build his vision for a costume so he can work part-time at a haunted house this fall.

I repaired my vacuum’s trigger for 15 cents thanks to my local library and their maker space! Support your local library!

We can’t always fix today, but we can always work on tomorrow.

If you’re cold, she’ll be cold. Let her out.

Look, I get it... but sometimes I just want to tune out the world and laugh.

I 3D printed my first thing tonight: a micro-benchy! USB drive for scale. I’m lucky to have a local library with a free maker space! 📚❤️

My #ESP32 garage project is working great! I even added a temperature sensor. The logic works great with my smart garage opener: when @lvertner.bsky.social or I get home, it checks to see if the ultrasonic sees something parked under it. If no, it opens *that* door; if yes, it opens the other door!

Building a garage presence sensor to help Home Assistant figure out which garage door to open based on which bay is occupied!

It starts… I’m looking forward to playing with Arduino! #ESP32

Adding a new rule to my network. What apps am I missing?
