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.

Summery of accounts and features supported

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.

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

Back in the gym after a long pause. Forgot how sore I get after my Mike Mentzer program. 🏋️

Luka for A.D.?!?
At least the last years of LeBron are interesting. 🙏 Dallas front office traded him because conditioning? They didn’t like he was enjoying beer after games. Here in Germany beer is considered an electrolyte drink and is served at all sport halls.

Chipped my Gyuto 😢.

First chip in ~3 years of hard steel Japanese knife ownership. Not bad.

First step to create my envisioned model rocket setup is learning LoRa radios 📻. Goal is to stream live altitude readings from rocket to “ground station” (cardboard box with 7 segment display).

Love the feeling of getting started with a new hobby. Research phase, planning, buying stuff, then prototyping ❤️🚀

This year I want to build and launch model rockets with friends.

Back to my electronics hobby after a long pause. This is a LORA radio module. Hopefully the first piece of a larger project.

Loran, a GPS precursor, is fascinating.

Watched Wong Kar Wai's 2046. They dreamy ascetic was nice, but it wasn't my thing. I've moved on from my Hollywood blockbuster Star Wars / Marvel roots, but maybe I'm not yet cultured enough for Wong Kar Wai.

New years 🎊 yay! Except there are people setting fireworks off directly outside our windows and our one year old can’t sleep.

Holiday demoted.
