It’s starting to look like a computer! I designed it kind of like how a Playstation 2 can sit vertical or horizontal. I’ll mostly be using it wall-mounted in the vertical position.

Just got back from flying the Tantrum 220 foil kite in 20MPH winds (it’s rated up to 25mph) and HOLY HELL Y’ALL. That thing PULLS. I was pulling as hard as I could, leaning back like 30 degrees. Came home drenched in sweat, and my entire upper body shaking from the workout. 10/10 will fly […]

Big step in the right direction here – all of the electronic components have been mounted to the frame. I had to order one extension cable to power the motherboard, but other than that, it went well! Can’t wait to power this thing up!

Welp I printed the part and several parts didn’t quite line up, and I didn’t use enough infill so it broke. Tweaking the holes and printing again, but this time I’m printing a thin test piece to check alignment.

I ordered a my first parafoil kite. A Tantrum 220. I’m interested in kitesurfing, and also looking for options for an upper body workout on windy days. Can’t wait to get this thing in the air. Hopefully the kite is the only thing that goes up 😁

I’m having so, so much fun playing FFXIV again. Meeting some really friendly people. Playing from my couch away from my desktop. It’s just a good time.

Something I did not expect was a bonding moment with my kids thanks to Psychostick of all things. I regularly listened to them when I was an adult teen. Fast forward nearly a decade and I hear them singing “I’m a dog and I like socks”, and we headbanged together.

Launching Through Partnerships

I've seen how powerful working with partnerships when launching can be, and I don't think I can ever go back.

Thinking about different ways to exercise daily, and I’ve found that surprisingly enough flying a dual-line kite is a decent upper body workout. Eyeing up something bigger like a Tantrum 220 🤔

In reply to <a href="https://www.alexstandiford.com/articles/essays/tutorials/how-i-made-my-wordpress-archive-style-different-post-formats/#comment-99">Tom</a>. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I'm still processing how to best handle everything I'm doing on this site, because I think there's a sort of "soft stack" that others might want. I sense a tutorial, post, and other resources coming.

Wow! Happy that you're following your aspirations and I wish you only the best. I'll keep an ear out for WP work for you. If there is anything I can assist you with feel free to let me know brother. Nothing but love to you and yours.

Alex, this is awesome! I love how quickly you code-switched (LOL) from a strictly programmatic approach to working with the nuances of blocks + code. I trust you'll be joining Mike McAlister, Brian Coords, and I on lobbying Nick to get Block Visibility merged into core... As an aside, would you care to publish this as a Gist or create a drop-in pattern so folks can get right to it?

Okay, I made an account on Fosstodon. I guess you can follow me regardless of what server you’re on? Not completely sure how this works yet, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@alexstandiford">fosstodon.org/@alexstandiford</a>

It's the docs. They've gotten REALLY good. Kudos to the @webpack team for their effort on this. <a href="https://webpack.js.org/loaders/sass-loader/">webpack.js.org/loaders/sass-l…</a>

Looking closer, I think they’re fine. Just needs cleaned up and scrubbed. But first, lead tests. https://t.co/4wsXueceaI Unsurprisingly, tests came up fine. You never know though! I’ve washed them up and some of these could literally just get seasoned up I think. But there’s enough rust on them that I’m gonna hit them with a vinegar water bath. I think that’ll be enough

Feeling a little overwhelmed by it right now actually. WordPress has given me, and my family, so much. It gave me a chance, and I’m so grateful for that.

To clarify - the amount is in USD. Silly me.
