I ended up spending an hour looking at wood today. It’s actually a decent browsing experience!

We had another ten-minute power outage, during which Bowser was able to hold the flashlight so that he could continue being built.

If only cats really could be changed via an off-the-shelf UI.

On one hand, Bonus Cat had to get blood drawn at the vet. On the other, even though he’s a healthy weight, the vet recommended doubling his intake of wet food so he gets more protein. The cost of Smidgeo has nearly doubled in a single day!

My substitute for having a real hood is putting the air purifier right next to the stove. It does work, to an extent.

I was just thinking about how much it would suck if Elon Musk bought Smidgeo.

OK, the litter box cabinet will now have a flap.

I hate to say this, but I got one of those self-heating mugs for Christmas, and it’s working really well. You can be a slow coffee drinker like me and have all of the coffee be hot.

It included the option to connect to Wi-Fi and a signed note from a CEO with a lot of Apple attitude, so I was extra on-guard.

The guy is listening to the Twenty-Five Thousand Dollar Pyramid theme on his own. It is the first time I’ve heard him choose music that is neither from Pikmin or Yoshi’s Crafted World.

Well, this is a nice development:
National Grid proposed that as of November 1, 2022, the default Residential Basic Service Fixed supply rate will be 33.891 cents/kWh, which is significantly higher than the new default Medford Local Green supply rate of 15.348 cents/kWh. National Grid’s rates change twice a year for Residential and Small Business customers on May 1 and November 1, but Medford CEA’s new rates will be fixed from December 2022 to December 2024. Savings are not guaranteed.

Real wood hollowing tools appear to be $130+! These are not power tools.

The hollowing continues.

[Hundertwasser] devised creative strategies that allowed him to live and work in Paris
without needing any money: among others, invitations from friends
and acquaintances who paid for lunch and dinner helped.
Yes, I can see how that would work.

Some entries from an old band names document I found:

We finally got this up.

Whoever made it on Etsy had a good idea, but they left a bubble in it when they glued on the screenshot print, which bothered me on and off for years. I finally flattened it out with the power of clamps and additional glue.

Terrible Table is terrible, but the legs don’t wobble.

Terrible Table has begun in earnest! Glue isn’t terribly effective on end grain, but I figure it’ll help with putting in the screws at the least.

I suspect I may have to add an extra leg or two. Fortunately, I have extra log.

Sawing a log into evenly-sized parts is very hard.
