Time for an intro post. Generally, I enjoy respectful conversation and the exchange of ideas. I feel like the world is more fun when we try to take care of each other.

I’m a tech hobbyist. I like messing around with different OSes and am just dipping my toes into the world of #RaspberryPi. My current daily driver is #macos.

I’d like to learn a #programming language.

I enjoy the world of #cordcutting and use an #hdhomerun connected to my #plex server for #ota tv. Happy to help where I can.

#3GoodThings 1) The fireflies are out tonight. 2) There’s a Spring breeze blowing through the trees that makes our front porch the perfect place to be right now. 3) I mowed the lawn so everything (including me) smells like fresh cut grass.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate that we live in a world where this headline doesn’t seem all that unexpected.

Spending the day working from home and revisiting music from my college days. So many great memories!

#3GoodThings 1) The sleepy hugs I get from my son when I put him to bed. 2) A pop up thunderstorm this evening. I will forever be the person watching the storm roll in over the field. 3) A fun lunch with colleagues where there was much laughter….also salsa.

Man…I can’t tell you how good Springtime is for my soul. Give me those blue skies and green trees!

It’s been a couple days, but here are my #3GoodThings for the day. 1) Our cat had kittens and we were finally able to see them and move them somewhere safe. Note: A jigsaw and insulation removal was necessary. 2) I was able to go for a run. 3) After the run I got to sit on the front porch and hang out with my wife. It’s one of my favorite spots with my favorite person.

Running an #M1 #MacBook Pro and interested in playing around with some #Linux installs. Anyone have any recommendations for #VM software and a #distro?

So we’re just skipping right past Spring then?

Starting to play around with #metatext and so far I’m pretty impressed. Very smooth. I might have found my #mastodon client of choice. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Ellie. Lovingly referred to as ‘Ellie Belly, Sweet and Smelly.’

What #Mastodon client is everyone using? The official #app in #iOS is proving a bit buggy.

#3GoodThings 1. My kids both had the day off school so we’ve been out and about having fun all day. 2. New chairs came in for our backyard fire pit. S’mores are in my near future. 3. I got to sleep in for the first time in a long time. Granted, my understanding of sleeping in has changed a bit as I’ve gotten older.

Heading to the #gym for a #run. Not because I particularly like going to the gym or #running, but because I really like ice cream. And I’m pretty sure that’s #adulthood in a nutshell.

#3GoodThings 1. Our 6 month old lab puppy seems to be out of the chew-until-destroyed phase and now just wants someone to rub her belly at all times. 2. Getting ready to take my son to his soccer game. He loves playing and I love watching him love playing. 3. It’s a windows down and birds singing kind of day here.

At the rate my kids go through it, there’s never been a gallon of milk in my refrigerator that’s lasted more than a few days. And yet, here I am in the dairy section looking for the latest expiration date like there’s prize money involved. #parenting #random #grocerythoughts
