What I’m reading
I’ve got an almost-6 year old so, alongside all his “young reader” books, we’ve been working in some of the Heinlein classics.
We've also been listening to books on tape while driving to and from the ski-hill. Did you know you can speed run 2001: A Space Odyssey between Seattle and Leavenworth?
What I'm hacking on
- Home Assistant, slowly turning my house into a robot (which will hopefully not try to kill me)
- APRS, now that I’ve picked up a PicoAPRS. I’ve also set up a quick Digipeater/IGate and I’m looking into setting up an APRS weather station via the Digipeter.
- 3D Printing (again), after bringing my salvaged Anet A8 back to life with a snazzy extruder upgrade
- omg.lol, which is an absolute joy and is making me enjoy the Internet again
What I’m enjoying
- Teaching my son to ski at Leavenworth Ski Hill. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing someone you love so much find joy in something you enjoy so much. Laps on the bunny hill feel like as much fun as powder days at Whistler, and LWSC feels like a family.
What I'm not enjoying
- The unrelenting feeling as a Seattle homeowner that you live on borrowed time and eventually the moss will win
- Tax season. We have computers for this. You know how much I owe. Just tell me, and let me check the math.
