Micro Blog

When I shutdown my Facebook and Instagram accounts, years ago, I switched to more open source friendly social media service networks; Pleroma was my first stop in the Fediverse. Since then I’ve maintained several Fediverse accounts and now BlueSky and Nostr.

My Micro Blog project aggregates all these posts from various accounts backs them up and makes them all available here on my personal site.

This eInk display looks cool. Seems developer friendly.

After weeks of thinking about it, I finally found time to continue my rocketry project.

This is a raspberry pi pico running a simple C program. Got a debugger (second pico) hooked up and serial printing working.

Today is Saturday. The perfect day to turn on Advanced Data Protection to protect yourself against increasingly authoritarian governments being seized by the worst people alive.

Stay safe. Encrypt. 🙂

Reacher S01E01

Refreshing to just unplug and watch a crime action adventure show that is not so complicated and has satisfying action.

The Gorge.

Decent first act then became a Disney ride. Groot like monsters in surreal bright color shifting fog.

I've been very sick lately. Today I'm in the mood for some cure all chicken soup. Serious Eats never disappoints, great articles / recipes! Here are my notes so far:

Planning on using pressure cooker for the broth.

First attempt at a ginger bug was a complete fail. After a week of feeding and then three days to carbonate a fruit syrup no luck.

Perhaps the German bio ginger didn’t have enough yeast. Will try again with help of wine yeast.

Never played, watched, or read anything from the Warhammer 40k universe, but I looks quite impressive.

I saw a tip on TikTok that the crime books are a good introduction to the universe:

- Sanction and Sin
- Broken City
- Bloodlines

Also picked up a more known starting point, Eisenhorn.

Loving the start of Common Side Effects. Lot more approachable than Scavengers Reign, but still the same beautiful creative animations.

Reblogged post from gwenbeads@mathstodon.xyz


I got a copy of the new book “A Stitch in Line
Mathematics and One-Stitch Sashiko” by
Katherine Seaton (A K Peters Book). I will be writing a complete review of this book for the Journal of Mathematics and the Arts. So far, I’ve made it through the first three chapters. So far, the math is mostly middle school or high school level. So it’s pretty easy reading with lots of nice pictures.

Today I used what I’ve learned to patch a pair of my sweetie’s jeans where the fabric was starting to fail. They call this design Persimmon Flower or Kakinohanazashi. The code for both the rows and columns is
…010101101010… with the 11 crossing in the center of the flower. I started by laying down a grid of dots with pink colored pencil that are a 1/4 inch apart. The stitches feel kind of big to me, but 1/4 inch was easy to mark with my ruler. There’s a piece of fabric on the inside making the embroidery over two layers. The thread is Wonderfil Spaghetti, which is very heavy weight cotton thread that is strong enough that I can’t break it with my bare hands. #visiblemending #sewing #mathart
