One of my favorite things about making the fixture (you can call it a jig if you must, but you'd be wrong), is I learned how to fuse two parts together with interlocking beams. The object is so large, it requires printing from both heads on the Bambu H2D. #3dprinting

A 3d printing slicing preview shows two parts fused together by interlocking extensions from each part, printed from different nozzles.

Google taught me I can create a keyboard shortcut for bullets in Mail! This is under Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts

A screenshot of the Mac System Settings in macOS 27 shows a list of App Shortcuts where ⌘* (command+asterisk) has been added as the shortcut for Format->Lists->Insert Bulleted List in Mail.app.

@stfn This week I've been printing do-no-disturb door hangers for our vacation rental property. I love how these come out. At just 6 layers thick, they have the same feel as common hotel room DND tags.

Four door hang tags sit on a wood surface. One is white and reads "Welcome to Seize the Bay." The other three show the blue backsides showing "Shhhh..." and one each of the phrases "No wake zone," "Mooring for the night," and "Sunburn recovery in progress."

Ordered some shirts from the Eddie Bauer web site last night. I’m bummed this brand is shuttering—they were one of my favorites for thermals, flannels, and jackets. Well, at least I got to leave a smart-ass comment with my purchase. 😂

A post-sale survey at Eddie Bauer asks “How did you hear about us?” Options include I’ve previously purchased, Influencer, Facebook/Instagram, Friend or Family, etc. I chose Other and wrote in “Your Going Out of Business signs.”

When I ask my Google TV assistant, Gemini, “what did he say?”

Google TV screen shows a definition for “What did he say”: The phrase "What did he say?" is a direct question asking for a repetition or clarification of something a person said. It can also refer to a popular meme, often used humorously to express disbelief or surprise at a statement. "What he said" is an informal way to express agreement with a previous comment.

Quicken, a financial services company, sends out an email message with a button that will prompt for your credentials to read a letter/post. Either this is fishing or [and this is what I'm betting:] they're more clueless about #infosec than I give them credit for.

A photograph taken around this time of year on the Sólheimafjara beach in southern Iceland. It was 14 years ago. I'd never seen black sand, let alone a black sand beach with white snow on it. It was a beautiful and surreal experience. #iceland #photo #photography

Tire tracks on a black sand beach lead to the back end of a parked vehicle. The tail lights and a shovel attached to the back of the SUV are all that's visible of the vehicle in the foreground. Snow on the beach and white, foamy ocean waves in the background contrast with black sand.
