Speaking of RIT's Model Train club, RIT is being dumb and forcing them out of their space without a backup space.

Club members put out this petition to try to help save it.

Today was the Rochester #MakerFaire at #RIT!

My two favorite exhibits were the Lego Donkey Kong set, and the plush

We were "that house" for Halloween again last night. One of the kids said "I remember this house from last year!" Made my evening 🎃.

Made an #APRS digipeater recently, and put it in my attic. It detects APRS from folks driving near my house and forwards them to aprs.fl!

It is powered by a Raspberry Pi, a SHARI and software called Direwolf.

I also made the antenna for it out of some copper wire.

After working there for a decade, yesterday was my last day at #L3Harris. I learned a lot in my time there and grew as a software engineer.

While I will miss my co-workers and friends, I am excited for my new role at Safran Federal Systems. I start on Monday!

Built a Slim Jim antenna with @thenaterhood@mastodon.sdf.org! We walked apart from each other, and could hear each other clearly 1.5km away on the 70CM band. Need to try even further way soon!

I officially have two #Meshtastic nodes up and ruining! One is Raspberry Pi powered, and connected to the antenna on my roof. The other is a bit more mobile. I'm the only nodes in the area by the looks of things, though 😕.
A meshtastic device with a screen that says "2 of 2 nodes online". A Raspberry Pi zero w2 that has a hat on it allowing it to use Meshtastic.

Yesterday, I volunteered at a #scoutingamerica recruitment event with my local council. I got to dress up as Baldy the Eagle Scout for a bit! 🦅 And, most importantly, got a patch out of it!

Andor season 2 is some of the best TV I've seen in a long time.

Some of the plot points are also very relevant to today's political landscape.

It's so windy in #rochesterny today that the sand in a parking lot hurt when the wind picked it up and hit me 😐.

I continue to be thankful I bought a Subaru over a Tesla 7 years ago.

I would #DumpTesla, but I don't have one :P.

Apparently yesterday was the 11 year anniversary of when the Twitch Plays Pokémon beat the elite four.

I remember my college roommates and I watching the stream on TV, and students at RIT would have it open on their computers during class.

Time flies...
