I was gifted this amazing latchhook embellished pillow from a long time supporter and friend. I cannot imagine all of the hours that was required to make something so beautiful. I am at a loss for words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

It's weird to hear Pam Bondi claim that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of antifa since Eleanor Roosevelt has been dead for nearly 65 years.

I ended up doing laps around the neighborhood trying to figure out what I needed to do to SHIELD myself from getting wet so that I could proceed past the second area in Costume Quest... because I forgot about the costumes having secondary abilities. :|

Sometimes you just gotta hack your own solution! 📺

In this video I mod this TV remote to make it more accessible for my father-in-law. ❤️

If you want to make your own, a guide and 3D models are in the video description.

I wonder if Microsoft secretly wants everyone to switch to Linux. There are certainly fewer reasons to stick to Windows every day: www.theverge.com/news/793579/...

Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account

Microsoft is disabling the best local account workarounds

Prototyping my first learning-electronics project kit is winding down (I am finishing up the manual as well). Top is through-hole, bottom my first go at surface-mount (I learned a few things and have changed it some).

(Hard to find a domain name these days. Went with CircuitPixies.)
