In a location that averages about 0.05” of snow a year, we are now up to 8” in the last few hours.

A snow-covered landscape features a building surrounded by trees, with heavy snowfall obscuring details.

An unusual site in South Louisiana. More snow today than I’ve seen in last 35 years. Combined.

After a few months and multiple (very delayed) back-and-forth emails with Bluesky, I was finally able to secure my domain name as my handle. Was beginning to look like it might not ever happen.

Here’s more stuff for sale. Clever Supply Co Sidekick ($50), Bellroy Field Notes Cover with 8 notebooks ($80), and an iPad Pro 12.9” 128GB with Apple Pencil and Apple Cover ($625). In case you missed it, I posted some Tom Bihn stuff too.

Any Tom Bihn fans out there? I’ve got a Synik 30 + HLT ($180) and a Cadet with Cache ($180) available. CONUS shipping included. I’ll have more stuff (other brands) available this week too so stay tuned.

I just figured out a plumbing issue in our house that’s been frustrating me for months. I fixed it for a grand cost of $0. I won’t be revealing how simple it was to fix.

For Christmas, we got the kids ModRetro Chromatics. They’ve already been a hit (for the adults too). We managed to snag a few games, but now I’ve got the itch and the chase is on for old GameBoy games.

Looking through some pics from a few years ago and stumbled on this one. It’s one of those random shots attached to good memories that makes it worth more than the photo itself.
