Apparently there was a big fire in the #everglades yesterday. On a rare weekday drive down I-75, I saw a brilliant sun set through the smoke and haze. Even though I was at my destination, I did a quick U-turn and got back on the highway to find a good spot to take a photo.

Sneak peak of a video from last weekend's FARA 250.

Spent the weekend down at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the FARA 250. It was nice being up close to the track again.

It's my beautiful wife's birthday today, and to celebrate we did a shoot at a local studio.

Shot with a Sony A7c and Minolta 50mm Macro lens. Lighting was provided with a pair of Yonguo off camera flashes. A Flashpoint 300 strobe with an optical projector was used for the light projections.

Almost 100W difference in power usage, and about a 5F drop in ambient temps. Data collected with a Shelly relay, Aqara zigbee sensor, and Home Assistant.

Finally got around to replacing the motherboard in one of my Proxmox servers. The old motherboard was a dual Xeon CPU Super Micro board with low power V2 Xeons. The new board is a single low power V4 Xeon.

Filmed on a Sony a7C with the 28-60mm f4 kit lens.

I love home automation and have been doing it for years. Recently I was given a few Shelly BLU devices, and I was curious how they worked in my Home Assistant environment.

I wrote more about it here - www.gravee.dev/en/shelly-bl...

Florida man in #pittsburgh. Decided to take a stroll outside and check out Steel City. I can confirm, there's lots of steel.

A little winter hardware project, using an @adafruit.com ESP32-S3 TFT Feather to build a macro keyboard I can use to control Plex and provide a rotary knob interface for programs like Lightroom. Build list in the comments.

Saree shoot from June 2019, we went a little overboard on this one but it was so worth it! I pulled out all the hardware I had, and I barely had decent hardware to begin with.

I got Neela the Lego Speed Champions 1970 Ferrari 512 M a few months ago, today I see it ready to race on my desk. Had to take some beauty shots of this awesome kit.

Back in 2019 Neela and I started doing shoots. The idea was on one hand it'd let her practice her makeup skills while trying out her vast collection of sarees, and it would help me keep my photography skills in check. Here's the first shoot from June 2019.

Turning a closet into a homelab network hub was one of my best decisions, but my wife made it even better! She got me a four post rack as a birthday gift! Now everything's neatly organized, and I don't have to drag servers on the ground. What’s your favorite homelab upgrade?

Like the sunrise sky
Your saffron flames
Born from the touch of gold
You make my life bold and whole
