Been too long since I’ve made a proper Cubano.

Overhead shot of a stainless steel frothing pitcher mid-process: a spoon works the espuma for a café Cubano, whipping the first espresso drops and sugar into a thick, pale caramel-colored foam before the rest of the shot is added.

A glass beer mug on dark granite holds a café Cubano - deep, dark espresso at the bottom crowned with a thick, domed layer of pale golden espuma. Ceramic corgi figurines and a stainless sugar shaker sit in the background.

Once upon an OpenStack summit in Canada.

A weathered red couch sits abandoned on a mountain road, surrounded by evergreen forest with a snow-capped peak visible in the background under a bright blue sky. The juxtaposition of discarded furniture against pristine wilderness is both absurd and oddly poetic.

Got my Dad one of those “AI” bird identification feeders for his birthday. His favorite part so far, doesn’t seem to be bird identification… it is the fact that he can use the remote microphone to scare off the squirrels.

A plump squirrel stuffs its face at a bird feeder, completely unaware of what is about to happen.

Tiny dawn patrol. 🌙🐾 Streetlights on, tail up, business serious.

It is that time of year when I have to put the model train display back into storage until next Thanksgiving. This year, I tore out all of the old IoT control code I had, and replaced it with a mostly vibe coded distributed systems approach: github.com/bunchc/model...

A cozy, snow-dusted Christmas tree packed with colorful ornaments glows in the corner, while a miniature holiday village circles the base. Tiny houses sparkle with blue lights as a small train loops around the tree on black tracks, creating a warm, nostalgic winter scene indoors.

Bless this heated desk mat for supporting both my productivity and my refusal to turn up the thermostat like an adult.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.

… all of this to drive the one train.

Over complicating things because I can. My model trains are now a distributed app.

Dark-mode control app showing a device at 192.168.1.199. A telemetry gauge reads 59% speed in reverse. Below it, a control panel shows a 59% speed slider, forward/reverse buttons, and a disabled “Apply Configuration” button.

It is like… procedurally generated riffs off the default Call Manager hold music.

I went digging in old tweets, looks like the OG @vbrownbag.com hoodies are maybe 10 or 11 yrs old now. @demitassenz.bsky.social can probably confirm. Still looks good after all this time. Can’t find their handles, but the Colotti’s and STK Promotions did some outstanding work. stkpromotions.com

Apparently the Subaru believes it is cold out.

Got a set of plastic nasal dilators, and it has been like putting on an afterburner while running.

Hearing Aid update: Snagged the remote for my hearing aids. Lets me change the modes and volume without having to pull out my phone or mess with the buttons on them while they’re in my ears.

In the Philips app, that is all the runtime adjustments I have. The few adjustments are also only available in the app, which means busting out the phone… which isn’t always doable when say, driving.

This may be my inner middle-aged Dad talking, but these are the height of fashion, and I have an irrational need to have one in my life. koolbreezesolarhats.com/products/men...
