    Christmas Buffet Foods

    I’m a big fan of keeping it simple. We’ll typically put out a table of charcuterie, cheese, pickled items, dip, crudite’, & some munchies like nuts/chips/pretzels & just let folks graze. Most items are shelf stable so will last the celebration with little maintenance. Table is typically built...

    What are you thankful for? 😊

    I’m grateful that my family came together, ate a bunch of lovingly crafted food & took all my leftovers with them to enjoy again.

    PowerMac G5 . Sorbet Installed . Knocking The Cobwebs Out . Playing Halo

    Definitely incorporating some LEDs into my G5s after seeing this. What sort of translucent vinyl did you use for the diffusing bit? It really comes off like the OG cathode bulbs. Looks fantastic 🙂

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    I ran into a great deal per pound on some beef locally that I couldn’t pass up and that was reason to pull out this gadget. - a vacuum sealer. This particular unit is a Internet 5003134. I typically use this for venison the family harvests but in any instance of protein plenty, these are always...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Money pit for a reason LOL. I already am on to the next project which is tearing out the old carpet on the stairs and installing new oak boards which I have stacked up in the garage. Hopefully I get to that tomorrow. which I have about 25 or so to get done. It would be nice to get those cut and...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    I like this idea very much for the over the fridge space. Your custom shelve idea over the range are a good fit for this space I think. It would block light from traveling but would allow me to make custom shelving out of nice strong hard wood (vs common prefab manufactured materials) that I...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    I thought I did not have a photo of the old 70's kitchen as it was when we bought the place around the end of 2019 so have attached this for posterity before I forget. Where the fridge was is where the trashcan is in the pic. I see we have the advent hanging over it, so this must be Christmas...

    *Battery Gore Thread* NSFMacs

    Forbidden in the sense that it will burn all parts of you that come in contact with it. That is how I took that. Through that lense, the cap/battery barf destroy everything it comes in contact with. and tacos are fantastic. I think we should eat tacos on at least a weekly basis As a nod to...

    Best use for old spinners

    Who knew that spinners work fantastically as weighted presses when tasked with repairing your 5y/o sons MOTU packaging. I figure he’ll eventually want this back as the apple rarely falls too far from the toy nerd tree. 🤔

    Dark mode vs. Light mode

    Woof my eyes!! lol. I switched to try it out and was immediately blinded. With all the dark mode around, I need a 10 step program to make it back to light mode. :D

    A nice Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook (for free!)

    Very nice. These a1278s are one of my fav early intel macs. They do chew through batteries like no other but have served me well since I picked it up in 2008. Over the years mine picked up max 8gb ram, an SSD, and a backlit kb. The only thing I wish it had was FW & a card reader like the mbp...

    Best Food processor for Vegans?

    For sheer power and ability to emulsify, I am a fan of my vitamix 5200. We had four of these in the last kitchen I managed and those things were used all day long for everything from retail shakes, malts, lassis and smoothies to emulsified dressings and marinades to dips, soups, general meez and...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    I'm interested in what is going on in that white glass shelf cut off at the lower left corner. If it was left up to my imagination, those would be layers upon layers of vintage hand held carts and other retro gaming goodies.

    Very cool. How does the turn table work into the TAM? Is the amplifier going to the mic in?

    Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

    I was a writer in a past life so will refrain from that here. Simply put - 1.) Define and establish in plain language, board positions & term limits. 2.) Define and establish in plain language, cyclical limits - if any at all. 3.) Communicate a clear and concise path forward to said elections...

    Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

    Well, I don’t pull punches. How that sad story read to me is that your vision was co-opted by YT personalities as a platform to further themselves. You were useful in that you did the heavy lifting up front (I mean your effort wasn’t tied up in making self serving YT vids right?) and now you’re...
