Thank you Jon Oliver for putting the dream of carbon neutrality only $1 away. https://www.oliversoffsets.org/
*We think. Given the uncertainties of carbon math, this claim cannot be guaranteed.
Camarillo Airshow 2022
A saw some great acrobatic flying including a helicopter doing loops and barrel rolls. The sky was full of Jets, skydivers, simulated strafing runs, a water drop, and so much more. On the ground i was able to check out a lot of incredible machines including a jetpack and aquatic aircraft called the ICON. There was a STEM hanger where kids could operate basketball playing robots.
Flipper software is coming along nicely!
Thanks to the exceptional work by justcallmekoko, RogueMaster, and many others there is now native flipper support for the unofficial Marauder firmware for the Flipper dev-board. Marauder is firmware for the ESP-32 chipset full of security tools for bluetooth and wifi. The Flipper dev board doesn’t support bluetooth, but the wifi tools work and are usable from the flipper itself. I cannot wait to see what comes next.
The lunar eclipse last night was lovely
I managed to get a few pretty cool pictures with my iPhone. We even made a sort of camera obscura and projected the moon onto a piece of paper.
Flipper Zero – the hacker tamagotchi!
After years of anticipation and excitement, my Flipper Zero has arrived! Software is still early yet, so I haven’t done much more than clone and store RFID, NFC, and IR signals. i am excited to see the interesting things me and my new dolphin friend will get up too.
My garden keeps growing!
I’ve kept working on my garden. i have this sweet Home Assistant panel. I am still working on automation, but integration is coming along nicely. I am using Home Assistant as my platform. Most of my garden sensors are command line sensors. I even figured out what i was doing wrong with command line switches (using capital letters). Now that I have had my camera in place long enough, I have a pretty decent test time lapse.

Status update:
Mama Musubi is something I’ve loved from my farmers market for years. Unfortunately it was shuddered during the pandemic and still has not returned to my market. They did open up in a shared kitchen of sorts in Pasadena called Kitchen United. It was to this location that my desperation would bring me. The spot is mostly for delivery drivers and doesn’t have much for customer service. The menu is a little different from what was offered and entered by app or kiosk. It was amazing to enjoy after the long absence, but not exactly the same thing i was craving. Maybe i’ll try them at one of the other markets where they still operate.
@stroughtonsmith made me Be the best VM i could Be!
It was a bit more of a pain than i remember it being back in college. After a subtle inspiration from @stroughtonsmith. I now have BeOS VM. there is an option to play connect four while installing (an unusual feature).
Getting through a backlog of prints.
My 3D printer has been sitting half disassembled and sad in the corner of my office for weeks. A simple latch thwarting my repair. I finally sorted it out this week and it’s been printing nearly nonstop! i can even change filament mid print! watch live be3n.com/3D
