Just binge watched the whole first season of Severance. Wow.

I think I have too many microcontroller dev boards... And I just ordered more... Oops.

How it started vs how it's going. Even got an original @adafruit.com sticker on there. I think I got the Toshiba in maybe 2008? Just got the Microsoft Surface laptop a few weeks ago (there have been a few other laptops inbetween). First laptop was a Compaq, but it was sold to fund the Toshiba lol

Me: I think I'll take off Friday and get some extra sleep. My brain at 4:30am: Time to get up!

"Hey I have a great idea, let's not tell anyone and start taking away earned badges from people and require them to give us more money to get it back." Lol.

Current fiber optic homelab status: I think I bought too much.

We've always been a fan of blueskies.

First time building out a fiber splice tray. Was a little concerned with the amount of VFL light that I saw on the splice but when I hooked up the power meter it was almost zero loss (which is kind of weird because I only calibrated with a single coupler and expected at least a 0.5 dB drop).

Oops, I might have bought $400 worth of fiber optic stuff to play around with 🙂

The neighborhood cat has decided my back porch is the ideal place to consume its nightly meals, thus I woke up today to half a mouse laying on my porch. Is it a gift? Maybe the cat is saving it for tonight?

Setup a camera over my fiber optic cable work area... but what for.... hmmmmmm

I sponsored a great horned owl at world bird sanctuary and they sent a cool packet with info and a really nice picture!

Rack #3, just for the homelab test network.

Been itching to do some fusion splicing and today has been finally cool enough to sit in the garage long enough to do one hah
