I think that sums it up.

Sarcastic book lover, maker, and irrepressible electronics tinkerer. Exploring CNC anything, designing circuit boards, being dragged kicking and screaming into coding and raising unique kiddos. Currently on a mission to ignore politics and make cool stuff!
Of all the things I didnt expect to delay me from working with the milo cnc on my afternoon off: especially fragrant dryer sheets.
I've never had occasion to gnash my teeth. I feel cheated
It amuses me to no end to rock up to work carrying this science experiment looking lunch
YES! I bought a 16 year old ZM400 label printer to replace my hated QL1100. The brother QL1100 has awful linux drivers, tries to lock you into their labels and is stupid expensive. Someone pointed out these older ZM400 workhorses so I picked one up cheap on ebay. It is exactly everything I want.
I wonder if we can convince trumpf that he can 'troll the libs' by shutting the fuck up for 3 days.
Watching movies while I work on stuff today. Just finished Grand Torino and now I'm going to watch its complete opposite movie; El Camino.
I tried Forge-X on my AD5M and so far its been a really good experience. Its nice to have all my old klipper interfaces back. Missing those on the AD5M made it feel a little stifling to me. The install process was very trivial #3dprinting #ad5m
These little reflow plates punch well above their weight! Very useful for fixing little issues.
I am stupid excited to play with this thermal printhead. The datasheet even lists what connector can be used to connect to the ribbon cable!
My wife and I were sharing from the same bowl of cereal. I started laughing uncontrollably. My explanation that 'we were eating cereal in parallel' did not help.
After the panic buying of 3d printers then Defcon I'm finally getting around to putting together the Manufacturing Nook (need a better name for it). This is probably the only time it will be this clean for the foreseeable future. 😂

Here is a little teaser for my upcoming indy #defcon33 #badgelife badge! If you can guess the final form I'll give you a free SAO at the convention!
Oh man! This is exciting! This really feels like an actual product to me! V2 of my USB-C PD to Chinese PSU module adapter. Now I need to redesign the front plate (blue plastic) and finish the rest of the case.
Holy shit, Paychex.com. Why on gods green earth is there a link to a paycheck loan app ON MY PAYSTUBS PAGE?! Your emails explaining my 'benefits' which are actually advertisements for 3rd party insurance are bad enough but this is RAGE INDUCING! Why can I not opt out of this shit?!
I'm just over here trying not to lose my shit over getting hit with tariffs. $18 additional charge on a $56 order of parts. Just like last time it would have been cheaper to manufacture in China and send the whole unit rather than buying parts to prototype and assemble in the US. #tariffs
It works! I wanted a super simple USB-C PD supply for these cheap ($30) RK6006 buck power supply modules for when I needed a power supply away from my bench. Now onto designing a 3d printed case. Probably no parts for at least a week.
If you shoot a golf ball out of a cannon does that make it a cannon ball?
My wife only eats cool ranch Doritos, it's blatant flavortism.
I think from now on I'm going to call ChatGPT "The Oracle of Stolen Knowledge
