2023s

    It’s disappointing when, after spending something like six hours spread out over two days, a recipe comes out looking nothing like the ridiculously perfect staged photograph in the book. But it’s delicious all the same, so I’ll count it as a win!

    Managed to kill a whole day in CAD working on the conceptual design for our future house. Still needs work, but I’m happy with the progress!

    Made the trek out to Central Park for my long run this morning. I think I should make a habit of this!

    Successfully rooted my robot vacuum and installed Valetudo. Goodbye sketchy cloud service, hello local control!

    Finished reading: Babylon’s Ashes by James S. A. Corey 📚

    I’m not saying it couldn’t be worse, but I am not looking forward to my run tomorrow morning.

    Satellite Imagery with RTL-SDR and GOES 16

    Receiving full disk images of the Earth from GOES 16 with an RTL-SDR and a 2.4 GHz Parabolic Grid Antenna 👋 Heads up! This article was originally posted on my old website in April of 2019. While the general process of receiving images from GOES 16 won’t have changed, the software tools may have evolved since then. Make sure to read the documentation for goestools and don’t copy and paste any terminal commands below without fully understanding what you’re asking for!

    Here’s a closeup of the screen — I can’t wait until this is functional.

    Making progress on my Gaggiuino project. Baby steps here, but it feels great to see the screen and thermocouple working!

    I need more houseplants in my life.

    Keycaps finally came in — now to print a case!

    I don’t need any more projects, but AllTheGearNoIdea’s Pi Pico Weather Station is certainly going on my someday/maybe list.

    I haven’t touched my Prusa MK3S+ in a year or two, yet it starts up and makes perfect prints as if I had built it yesterday. It was an expensive machine, but it’s nice to have something that doesn’t require tinkering.

    I forgot how much I enjoy making bread when I have an actual kitchen in which to bake. One day!

    After spending way too much time and having stayed up way too late, I think I may have the beginning of a website I can actually use!

    Well, it’s fully functional as far as I can tell. Now all I have to do is wait for the keycaps to arrive… hopefully they ship soon!
