I love a good @honeycomb.io hunt to figure out what's going on. Have enough processes and logging in place, you can truly piece the full picture together. Nobody likes a dead end!

Bad day - My Unifi Cloud Key Gen 2 quit (again). SD Card corrupted. Had to reset/re-adopt everything on my day off. Womp Womp. Moving to a Proxmox VM, automated backups and finally getting a proper rack for my stuff. 18U...wahoo!

GPT + Home Assistant is a huge amount of fun. Dumps the YAML and helps debug. Toddler crying, dishwasher leaking, deer in garden? Do something.

Pro-Tip: When buying a car, watch out for hidden fees. Use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to review your contract and spot potential extra charges before signing. Could save you thousands!

Finally purchased my first "big boy" bike. Excited for a carbon frame, better tech, etc..

My annual bald face hornet sting is complete. Little guy came back for seconds too, angry fella.

My last time in a theatre was in 2019. Oppenheimer was incredible, Interstellar all over again.

Fun to see a project come together today. Kids have babysitter, daddy has his chop saw. More work to do, but making progress on this electronics/drone bench.
