I’ve been dabbling with non-alcoholic “spirits” lately, since, like many people, I’ve probably been drinking more than usual during the pandemic. There are a lot of resources out there to get you started, I recommend Julia Bainbridge’s email newsletter (she also has a book). There are some interesting new beverages coming out every day that… Continue reading Drying Out
2.4.2021 15:54Drying OutLast year, I decided to learn something new and followed this guide to make my own IoT weather station. It turned out well! However, that original project relies on IFTTT, which has suddenly decided it is going to charge for anything more than 3 applets. (I had, oh, 15 or so, one for updating the… Continue reading Nerdy Weather Station
30.9.2020 14:37Nerdy Weather StationOur second week of “virtual” summer camps saw us visiting the National Parks. I kicked us off with a visit to Katmai National Park in Alaska. It’s probably best known for its Bear Cam at Brooks Falls, where the brown bears feast on salmon heading to their spawning grounds. But its origins come from a… Continue reading Virtual National Park Week
6.7.2020 15:17Virtual National Park WeekIn the midst of a pandemic, everything is being canceled. Normally around this time, we’d be heading up to Michigan to visit Lisa’s parents and for the kids to go to summer camp with their cousins. Instead, we have *gestures everywhere* all of this. So, in lieu of that, we’re trying to make the best… Continue reading Virtual Museum Week
30.6.2020 02:08Virtual Museum WeekThe Washington Nationals are going to the World Series!!! It’s a sentence that seemed so far away, in the early days of terrible teams playing in their temporary home at RFK Stadium. I still loved going to watch them play in that dump of a stadium, just because baseball was here, in DC. But man,… Continue reading They’ve Come A Long Way, Baby
16.10.2019 14:58They’ve Come A Long Way, BabyLately, I’ve been doing a lot more “tinkering” with little side electronics projects at home. It started when I tried to teach Evan how to solder while also learning the skill myself! We managed to put together a tiny LED flashlight kit and it all snowballed for me from there. I managed to put together… Continue reading Weather Station
8.8.2019 15:37Weather StationOn Saturday, we adopted a new puppy named Eliza. She’s about 3 months old and came from a shelter in Mississippi. She’s mostly corgi, but something else mixed in as well. Evan is clearly in love (he has wanted a corgi for a while now), and even Lisa has warmed up to her pretty quickly.… Continue reading Meet Eliza!
5.2.2019 19:09Meet Eliza!I decided early on this year that I would try to see as many concerts as I possibly could. There was a wealth of great bands coming to DC that I really wanted to see, and I ended up going to 17 concerts in all. Here’s a quick (but still long) review of what I… Continue reading The Year in Concerts
12.12.2018 18:10The Year in ConcertsI’ve been trying to run the EX2 Adventures Hemlock course for at least 5 years now, but something always seemed to get in the way. One year, I had to curl that day and decided to skip it in favor of that. Another couple of times, it was rescheduled due to rain or snow and… Continue reading A Winning Weekend
20.11.2018 21:39A Winning WeekendBoy, has it been a tough year or what? I have had to make a concerted effort to stay positive more than I can remember in a while. Starting a new job helped a lot with that, as the old one was just beating me down. I’ve also continued running a lot, to get back… Continue reading Social Media hiatus
7.11.2018 18:10Social Media hiatus[...] beet cake and gumbo, and I'm sure there will be more once Lisa reminds me. I will keep a running list on this page as we go. Lucky us, we're only about halfway through the CSA period, as it keeps going into [...]

4.10.2010 14:10Comment on Evan Skates! by Mike DThanks for this post. It gave me the confidence to rent this tool myself and snake my own damn sink! It makes me very happy that I no longer have to call an overpriced plumber every time there's a big clog. Thanks again!
