Here’s some thoughts on Cinch branding and content strategy for the website. Branding Cinch needs a rebrand. We have a long history of unclear or unfocused branding, starting with the logo. Our very first logo was a simple typographic based mark with an outline. I hardly remember...
Second post in the Micron Build series. This is all about the preparation phase – reading of the things, perusing of the things, purchasing of the things… All in prep to start a slow, quality build.
It might be fun to do a build log on this latest printer. I've wanted to build a Micron ever since realizing it might have been the better choice over the V0 I built a while back - Fall of 2023 I think. The V0 is a...
We rarely get the good permits - no wait - we never get any permits during the lottery, but we can usually pick up a cancelation. Kari is very good at watching the sites and snagged a good one: Main Salmon for late August. I'm only now...

Who this blog is for, and why there's likely better info out there. This blog is for me. I've largely abandoned social media, this is a place to post things publicly. Public, but not likely to be seen. I will post things I find interesting, but it's...
I've been thinking a lot lately about how this site should tie into the Fediverse, ActivityPub, and my Mastodon posts. It's all a bit confusing right now but there are tools available to do much or most of the integration. Some of them are already installed on...
A few months back I picked up a Nikon D7500 because I flat out don't take photos on my phone and wanted to get shots of my kids skiing, like this: Tory in 2nd place wearing bib 102 It may not be a great shot, but it's...
It took me a while to understand what sort of vista a Beulah vista was. Apparently, it's a sweet view of Mount Beulah which we caught brief glimpses of on our two day yurt trek. I haven't historically been overly excited for these yurt trips, although I...
