I'm officially a pad technician \o/

A sparsely occupied electronics workbench with a voltage generator, multimeter, and oscilloscope plus a soldering gun, solder, and flux rosin. There is a project in the front middle (next image...)

A close-up of a holding tool that was recently used to hold load cell wires in place. The project is that I took a connector from a dead SMX load cell and spliced it onto one I bought online. The wires are janky, but thanks to shrink-wrap tubing, you can't see that the solder joints are also janky.

most of what I know about MTG is by osmosis and from this tumblr post, which feels spiritually relevant

Two consecutive text posts from Tumblr user "txttletale":

1. whoever coined "there are no stupid questions"; clearly didn't anticipate mark rosewater's blog

2. for non mtg players imagine if the head Flavor Scientist at pepsi cola had a blog and people kept going on it to ask like "do you think you'll make a pepsi that tastes like sewage? why haven't you ever made a pepsi with a drowned rat in it? i notice that the pepsi is always on the inside of the can and not the other way round, is there a reason for that?"

Three drinks sitting on a bar table with color-coordinated darts next to each of them: my blue darts with a curaçao cocktail, red darts with a cranberry cocktail, yellow darts with a pale ale

My second attempt at baking bread: a nicely puffy and browned (if somewhat oblong) rectangle of garlic bread made with scallion-infused olive oil, pickled cloves, and plenty of mozzarella with a dusting of parmesan

A view of Seattle from Alki Beach at super-low tide: the day is lightly overcast, there is wet sand interspersed with plenty of kelp, there are two large waves approaching the shore from the left, and the Seattle skyline is visible across the water

Another view of Seattle, but from the northwest. Taken during a friend's birthday party on a rooftop deck about 6-8 stories up, with the railing in view along the bottom. There are prominent fluffy clouds in an otherwise blue sky, with a collection of towers in the distance below them and some smaller buildings (and trees) visible at ground level

I think it generally tracks the same metrics, so it's mostly useful for filtering workouts to answer "how many calories have I burned on dance games" vs. proper HIIT 😛

I tie dyed some things! they turned out okay!

A white T-shirt with sparse radial black splotches in eight directions, some speckles of light blue and green and orange along those directions, and a prominent red/green/blue segment along the upper left of the shirt. It reminds me of the speckled jawbreakers I've gotten at malls.

also, fitness stats! Apple's default heart rate zones were wildly wrong (my max heart rate is 202-204), so I found an online calculator and manually re-calibrated them, which makes the HR graph a *lot* more useful.
