So until the next time, be careful out there folks! I'm back to rehearsals for my next theatrical event in November, but hope to see many of you again at MOA in May!

As always, the MANY folks behind MMS do such an amazing job. Really adds to the pleasure of being part of this community and definitely a reason the conference is highly-rated. Some goofiness and shenanigans, but ultimately a community of folks doing awesome things! #MMSMusicCity

What a week! Another fabulous @mmsmoa.bsky.social in the books. Picked up a lot of good info, met friends old and new, and had great conversations about real-life stuff with attendees! A little sad to be back home and in "normal" mode again, but looking forward to the next #MMSMOA!

Hanging out on Broadway in Nashville with the Belgians Tom and Kim. Great music and atmosphere! Nice way to come down from the #MMSMusicCity high.

Folks attending @mmsmoa.bsky.social there's still time to get charity raffle entries! You could walk away with my 3D printed ukulele!

Don't miss the chance to support a great cause and slay like Dune! #MMSMOA #MMSMusicCity

Folks of #MMSMOA please sign up for jam sessions! @allwayshype.com and I will be hanging out tomorrow morning and would love to chat...even if you're coming to our session later in the day - pre-seed your questions! #MMSMusicCity

Heading to @mmsmoa.bsky.social next week? Don't forget there's an awesome charity raffle at each event, with lots of rad things to choose from while supporting a great cause!

Here's a sneak peek of my raffle contribution for #MMSMusicCity. Yes, it's printed. And yes, it's playable. #MMSMOA

After a couple chaotic months, I spent time prepping for #MMSMusic that's less than a month away! 🎉

Nashville edition tchotchke's are printing, so if you're attending come get one from me! Sadly, the lederhosen aren't coming to Nashville; this clip will have to suffice! @mmsmoa.bsky.social #MMSMOA

The Wheaton PO is too neat a facade to leave the bot's "backside" view as the official record. 😜

It's been super fun to play with the Ulanzi TC001 display with AWTRIX3. I set up NWS alerts in Home Assistant some time ago, but having an automation push the current notification to the display is another useful household thing to show off.

Now @garytown.com and Mike Terrill grief counsel us through OEM OS recovery options for @tcsmug.bsky.social OSD Day!

Kicking off @tcsmug.bsky.social OSD Day with @niehaus.bsky.social talking through the evolution of operating system imaging and deployment.

Never did I ever think she'd want to be outside, let alone comfortable and content sitting in our gazebo space on the back deck. She'd lost the tips of her ears before she found us years ago; until today was pretty averse to being in the blue room.

She's been napping on the couch for 2 hours now. 😻

...but wasn't waiting for breakfast this morning and very near the end when I found him.

We're really gonna miss that old man. Truly one in a million.

First photo from last week in the open window; second from ~5 years ago 💔

Rough day for us. Our 15-year-old Mongo crossed the ol' rainbow bridge this morning. He'd been diagnosed with kidney failure a few months back, so this day wasn't unexpected; fortunately it happened quickly. 😿

He slept on my feet last night like normal and had his bedtime meal... 1/2

We gave away swag as part of the voice and presence session yesterday and we'll do it again today with even MORE stuff. Many thanks for the donations, including stuff we got from @home-assistant.io for the community. I'm pretty sure everyone in the photo walked away with something! #mmsmoa

I had to be in appropriate costume for the happy hour session part one of Home Assistant yesterday. We must have been directly under one of the room lights when @andrewj.net took the picture because I look like a cardboard cutout! 🤪 #mmsmoa

Digging into Windows server clustering with Kristopher Turner and @allwayshype.com bright and early today! #mmsmoa
