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!

Threats and more threats. Just the weakest losers to have ever held office.

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.)

This looks like something that could easily be recreated with about 50 sticks of Juicy Fruit gum!

I finally figured out the "To who?" issue I've been having for the last TWO IOS VERSIONS with my iPhone. It appears that Siri wants to include Facebook in the options for whom it looks up as part of a "Call XYZ" request.

Turned off Siri being able to look at Facebook for contacts.

Sorted.

So many emotions, @jason.heiser.org. Thank you.

This one is a real emotional roller coaster! Many thanks to everyone who attended VCF Midwest, and my heartfelt gratitude to the people who continually shower their grace and kindness on me. It's overwhelming (in a positive way).
