Great news! my candle dealer bugs rock is back with a new line for spoopy season! Order now and get these monstrous creations:

  • bad apple (plus baby sample powerful enough to spoil somebody’s bunch)
  • a sweet hex (feel like Pandora (not the streaming service) as you open the lid! then instead of hope you are left with a sweet candle to burn)
  • mischief nite (this moon cannot be obscured, knows what you did)
  • evil side up (I guess Sam I Am wanted the ham)

Plus some bugs rock matches and stickers and maybe some little plastic scaries and a temporary tattoo!

As a bonus you can guess which of these made me sneeze a bunch when I opened the box! (I’m fine, my allergies and I have come to an agreement. Thanks for asking!)

We did the top side coat of Rubio Monocoat today! Looks so good! 💯
Cleaned up and did the first side of the Rubio Monocoat for the live edge slab! I think it turned out pretty good!
I decided today would be a good day to hang the vertical monitor that will eventually be the home automation dashboard. I found a monitor that fills the available space. Next I need to get an HDMI over ethernet extender so I don't have to put a raspberry pi on the wall.

Today is mini split day! They are starting to put in all the mini splits for the units!

From an interview with a costumed Portland protester. Portland rules and this is spot on:

“There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.”

Meetable Release Notes - October 2025

I just released some updates for Meetable, my open source event listing website.
Unsurprisingly, it took me literally all day to get the network closet back up and running! But this time it is much more neatly organized.

I added a 12-port patch panel in the corner that all the building runs terminate into. Half of these were from the 2019 studio buildout, the other half I've added over the years, with pretty messy cable runs through the space. Now they are all neatly tucked inside the wall and terminated into this patch panel!

I then started rebuilding the rack, and made custom length cables for the 12 connections. One end is an rj45 jack, the other end is a keystone connector for the rack patch panel.

By the end of the day I was able to get all the gear back in the rack! I know it still looks a bit messy but believe me this is far better than it was before I started this!
