Our next father/son Lego project. First time to build a motorized Lego (repost).
Is there a skill, activity or hobby you routinely omit, maybe unconsciously, when introducing yourself? I realized this morning I never tell people I’m an investor. Been one my entire adult life. It’s a hugely beneficial and under-rated skill. Schools barely teach budgeting.
Micro Monday: @cygnoir. Because I love libraries and librarians! 📖
Cajun crab and shrimp boil
Officially cut the cord today. I sure hate talking to “customer retention specialists”. Let’s hope the streaming services never go that route.
The Olympics isn’t boring. But the TV coverage of it here in the US is a total snooze fest. They need a version for people who want fast moving coverage.
I decided to try out HEVC/H.265 encoding on some videos. Definitely smaller but Plex absolutely chokes trying to play them. The InFuse app plays them well so it seems to be a Plex issue, not a hardware issue. Really don’t want to have to bounce between apps.
As is their custom, I imagine, as soon as they could the firemen pulled a few pictures and one photo album from the fire and set on the sidewalk. Today the family is going through the house looking for additional items they can save. Strength & Resiliency.
After the stress of this afternoon, a little Redemption.

TFW all you can do is watch the neighbor’s house burn. So sad. All safe.
Every vehicle in this shot is a first responder. Not pictured 4 ladder trucks and 2 fire trucks actually working the fire plus EMS and police. All the help couldn’t save the home. People and pets safe.

I’m shaking
Oh my god. Our neighbors house is enveloped in fire! They’re safe but crying their eyes out of course.
I feel like I owe @Manton a case of his favorite beverage.
Got the last of my tax info. Guess I’ll tackle my tax return this weekend. Baby (aka teenage daughter) needs new shoes. 👟 💵
A Hydra Invaded our Home: Read how I innocently I purchased a simple Network Attached Storage device to perform a couple of simple chores. Little did I know it would quickly turn into a Hydra poking itself into niches all around our home. I could have saved myself trouble and likely a fair mount of money in the long run if I had realized this thing had a secret plan to take over the world (ok, just my network).
Happy Valentine’s Day! 💝
Middle School and 6th grade choirs combined. Around 400 chiclets. 
Daughter’s choir concert tonight. At the high school performing arts center. Photo doesn’t do it justice.

@Manton is the iOS app supposed to have a badge count for mentions? Doesn’t seem to. Would be nice (not top priority of course).
Micro Monday: @rosskimes a mobile developer at WDT where he helped create the amazing RadarScope app. Also a great person and father.
