I have long had a habit of bookmarking interesting blogs online then never reading them again. Part of setting up my own blog was the RSS feed, and with AI now, I thought it would be quick to take a folder of the ~2k bookmarks and turn it into an RSS feed so I could actually leverage all those links. Plus, I’ve seen all those cool projects where people re-use old electronics, and I wanted to learn how to do this. ...
Our cat recently got cut on his leg; being in an area without access to a vet, we were a bit unsure on the severity of the injury or what a naturally healing cut would look like over time (and how to identify the start of any infection). I couldn’t find a good clear set of photos online. Hopefully this can alleviate some concern or save a trip to the vet. ...
Croissant Club has been live for about 3 weeks now. It is a personal review blog for croissants. Huge traffic to it, obviously. Over the past few years I have developed an appreciation for croissants, and I thought this would be a simple funny project to look back on in a few years if I keep up with it. Backfilling the data has been a bit irritating, but luckily I’ve only had this idea for a month or two. ...
The Nespresso Vertuo Next we had would when initially turned on, immediately blink orange and not stop if you pressed it, sometimes it would switch to blinking orange twice, then pausing, over and over the application would various show and error that the machine was unlocked, or ready to brew never was the mobile application useful A couple tips that I struggled with from watching videos (and I saw also in the comments): ...

With the Flashforge Adventurer 5m, my first 3D print is the Enclosure kit project. What follows are just a quick few notes from trying to figure this all out. After exploring some of the comments around the enclosure online, I decided to follow the DIY Minimal Enclosure from @design8studio, so thank you to them. I did forget to print the updated riser panels that is now linked on that project, however, and just used the project at that link. I would recommend to use the upgrades after printing the original, but they aren’t serious enough to make me want to print anything over again. ...
At our wedding, each table was named after a country we had either visited or had some relation to, as a personal touch instead of classic table numbers. To complement this, I built a small static website deployed on GitHub pages to learn more about the country with Claude Sonnet 4 through Github Copilot. Each table had small printed cards with QR codes linking to the webpage that attendees could scan and briefly view. I generated the 17 QR Codes manually for each table through Project Nayuki’s web implementation and renamed the downloaded file to the country. Thanks to them! I figured generating the code to do so would take about the same amount of time. This said, I fortunately didn’t have to ever change the URL of each page. ...
I’d like to take a popular class for 3d printing at the library, but I can’t get a spot. The ideal LLM assistant could check for class availability and sign me up, without me monitoring the page constantly. Unfortunately we are not there yet. Increasingly complicated attempts to sign up MLK Labs in DC offers apparently highly desirable 3d printing classes. These are posted 30 days out - but have been booked solid for the past few weeks. ...
This is the obligatory moved blog from one framework to a different framework article. Wordpress.com asked me for $78 for a two year subscription. However, I dislike the mobile app and the text editing experience online. I also had difficulties editing any part of the website with the in-browser tools. Originally, I signed up because I wanted my focus to be on writing, rather than on coding, a blog. Simply purchasing the Wordpress plan let me test whether or not I wanted to keep up with writing posts at all. It did that, but I didn’t find that WordPress provided much additional value. ...
Close to 2 years ago, I had an idea for a mobile application that allowed users to store, submit, and manage tax reimbursements in foreign countries. For 2 years ago, I on and off worked on this idea and had a functioning version on my phone - and for nearly all that time, I never felt like the application was ready to release to potential users - and it doesn’t look like I’ll ever get it there. ...
