It's the least I can do. I'm in no shape to go protest, but I've got a 3D printer. I've been printing out ICE whistles and death whistles and sending them to folks. Every time my slicer software opens, it's all "open the tray of whistles again?"

The great sushi pooper 9000. Highly recommended. Video best with sound. 🤣

This was a wise decision. I am so beyond stuffed after housing down 14 pieces of sushi in a row.

15 pieces of salmon roll sushi arranged on a ceramic plate next to a plastic dish full of a brown dipping sauce with chopped green onions floating in it. Both are on a robin's egg blue, formica counter top.

I foolishly thought this project would be fun. Towards the end, I was ready to hurl the entire thing at the floor. I persevered and finally finished it last night. It doesn't look half bad for something a friend referred to as "My-kea." Dimmable LEDs, RF on/off controls, holds my stuff nicely, etc.

A home office with wood paneling and plaster walls and grey carpet. There is a monochrome painting on the wall and a blue leather love seat. There is a gray blanket piled on the back of the love seat. Beside it, there is a set of open shelves that go up and over a door and connect to closed shelves on the other side. The door is covered in a very wrinkled green screen, I need to iron it. The shelves are adorned with various knickknacks.

A set of black shelves that are open on all sides. Displayed across the shelves are a wooden 3D puzzle wolf, a black sand hour glass, various gem stone towers, pyramids, spheres, and animals, Japanese flip books, a wooden box, a Galilean thermometer, a radiometer, storm glass, glass spheres with clouds in them, a PS4 controller, a mood Rubik's cube, a resin rook, a couple puzzle boxes, a cryptex, various books of fiction and non-fiction, a Flipper Zero, and some storage cases. The shelves are each lit with circular LED pucks.

A series of black, enclosed shelves, which are all lit with LED puck lights. The shelves contain a Newton's cradle, a DefCon 27 badge, a wooden cube with celtic knotwork cut into it, a 3D printed gold poop trophy, a resin dragon egg, hand felted llama and snowman, a sleepy bunny sculpture, a ferofluid jar, a pin impression toy, and a periodic table of elements that contains each of the elements listed on it.

Let this be a lesson for all in not getting complacent. Grip screw in vice grips, cut with dremel, dip in water bucket, remove from vice grips. Had 30 to do. Around screw 15, autopilot engaged, brain checked out. I did not dip. At least if I need to know the threads, I can check my two fingers.

A forefinger with the thread pattern from a screw burnt into the skin of the finger pad. There is a blurry linoleum and hardwood floor with a dog food dish on it in the background.

@colonelborkmundus.bsky.social Don't worry, the instant rice is just on the counter from the other day when I was sick, and not being used in the lumpia.

A ziplock bag on a counter full if carrots, cabbage, and green onions. There's a bottle of sesame oil nearby, as well as various cooking utensils, a package the meat was in, and a box of instant rice.

A pan on a stove. It is full of ground turkey, chopped cabbage, chopped green onions, minced carrots, minced garlic, onion powder (sorry, we ran out of onions), salt, sesame oil, and soy sauce.

New AIO installed, system is running cooler than before it went ape shit. Though, the process of getting there was less than enjoyable. Cooler was so stuck to the CPU that it yanked the CPU out of the socket, even though it was locked. Then, I had to rewire half the case. Looks good, though.

It begins! First batch complete and ready to go. Hard to think that it's been a year since I started this project.

Four bottles with flip top lids, full of a brown liquid. There are labels hanging from each that state:
Wolffewood Extracts
Vanilla
Ingredients: Vanilla, Alcohol
STORE IN A COOL, DARK PLACE"

For my birthday, almost 30 years ago, my mother took me to the bookstore to pick out a gift. I picked out The Iron Dragon's Daughter by @michaelswanwick.bsky.social. It has been my favorite book my entire life, and impacted me quite a bit. My fiance just gave me this for christmas. I am blown away.

Leather bound, signed, first edition, of The Iron Dragon's Daughter by Michael Swanwick.

I rarely post pictures, but happy Halloween, everyone! Time to fly away on my warlock staff.

I spent an hour earlier gothifying our den. An hour of me feeding LEDs into the wall one LED at a time like the world's strangest string of anal beads. 13 feet worth.

A purple and black futon, flanked by black end tables, topped by black lamps, with purple lamp shades. The lights are on. In the white wall is a sealed window with a slight purple glow.

Well, that was confusing as hell. "Hey hon? Can you come here?" "What's up?" "What the fuck is this on the floor?" I go into the den, lean over to look at this black cord on the floor. My partner reaches out to pick it up. It's a fucking snake. Nothing dangerous, just a northern ringneck.

I want to make more sewing projects. I think this is the last one I made a few years ago (other than some quick stitches or repairs).

Ah, you're right. It's an epoxy putty solution.

When my one cat decides it's time for bed, she'll come into my office and yell at me. Then when I get up to get ready for bed, she runs to the bedroom to get ready to nap on me.

Vanilla Update: Batch #1 is officially at six months. When I open up the storage to shake them, it smells like vanilla every time even though the bottles are sealed, and it's SO GOOD. Really darkening up compared to before too.

An 8.5 ounce bottle of vanilla extract. It's a dark amber color with some dark vanilla beans in the middle.

Also, I had a visitor stop outside my office window for a snack earlier today.
