just Wes

Do any of y’all use open air earbuds? If so which ones did you choose? I’m just looking for a pair that is decent for music/podcasts but the more comfortable the better. My biggest limitation is I wear glasses so the kind with an arm over the ear give me pause.

Kinda proud of myself. I haven’t read much (for fun) in a while. At least not at a decent pace and it’s been a couple of years since I finished a book lol. I finished one back at the end of August and started a new series - I just started book 7 last night!

I’ll be flying to Seattle area next weekend for the first time and I am super excited because it has been a bucket list item for a while. It also stands to be a very fun trip.

Weather has cooled off a bit so I’m just leaving the house in my button up shirt and cardigan with the sleeves slightly pushed up like an absolutely feral slut today. 😉😂

I love this scene and I have a video of myself and some coworkers recreating it in our shipping bay a long time ago!

In the past two weeks, maybe three, I have had two people tell me I look great in regards to my weight and overall appearance and I find that amusing because I’ve been at the same weight for the past three or four months. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Even though Kara is no longer inside the walls at Carswell, I still keep abreast of all news regarding how all of our other LGBTQ family are being treated in custody. This ruling about trans rights today may get lost in the sauce of midterm news, but it's a good one... archive.ph/ebBX8

This week's video demystifies and deep dives into a delicious drink that is highly misunderstood and frequently overlooked. Also, I tell the story of a remarkable scientist whose drive and passion has done more to resurrect this industry than anyone else in recent memory. 🍾 youtu.be/m-TVORDXgQg

I did not ask here but I suppose I could - I do t suppose anyone I know here has a netool.io lite or pro that they don’t need and would be willing to part with at a decent price?

Fall needs to stop playing and bring the temps that allow me to wear my cardigan so I can dress like the slut I aspire to be!

Charged and ready for any interesting locations I might come across today. While driving all over north Alabama.

Now that the weather is cooling off I think it’s time to dust off the drones.

I need to find a nice pair of dressy boots that are as comfortable as my sneakers :(

Trouble sleeping tonight however on the plus side - I just took advantage of my not being able to sleep to set up my two new Yubikeys on every account that supports them.

Starting to resemble a decent station setup. Now I just gotta keep learning the shit to put it to use.

You know the cleaning up/reorganizing has gotten serious when you start throwing out boxes for tech that you've owned for 4 years but "you really might need it some day"

My video booted from YouTube yesterday is back (well, at a new URL) with a brief intro from me summarizing what happened. TL,DR: YouTube's AI tools flagged it as "firearms sales content" even though it's (a) there are no sales and (b) there are no firearms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_V...

Going to watch the original Transformers movie in the theater with my 23 year old son lol. Gonna be a good day.

This is really idiotic on YouTube’s part. I saw this video before it got removed and it was useful and full of good information and had a stark lack of firearms.

Home for the weekend...time to take a look at this hackerbox 104!

Feel a bit like a poser. I bought one of the surplus defcon badges so I could play around with it despite never having been to defcon. 🤷🏻‍♂️ In other news my defcon fund is coming along. I hope to have enough to cover the badge by the end of the year and then start working on plane ticket and hotel!

I need you to understand we are so far right that the Democrats are now Republicans from the 90s. The two party state is now 2020s Republicans vs 1990s Republicans.

I’ve had two people call me wholesome this weekend and I definitely am not happy about that lol.

In less than 24 hours I should be in my happy place 😁🤭😁

2.5 books down in the last 7-10ish days. I haven't read this much in a while. Before people ask they are just fiction books, nothing with learning (which they probably should be). I finished ACOTAR finally and then I got the entire Dungeon Crawler Carl set on sale and finished the 1st two.

I have no idea what to do with them or what to do in general yet but I just ordered 1 presoldered pin seeed studio xiao esp32-c5 and one not soldered version.

Maybe me trying to get back into reading wasn't the best idea. I've almost finished two books in the last 7 days.

I love that the people I work with currently are all comfortable communicating in gifs! It’s a nice change of pace. I also love that I get zero micromanagement.

About to do some serious "does it spark joy" cleaning up in my apartment and getting rid of a lot of things that just don't need to be held on to any longer. I do this every few years and it always feels so good to let go of things.

I was reminded today that I have an author page and an ebook on Amazon (not for anything worth a damn of course, but still) and that felt kinda nice for a second.

Listening to @uwu-underground.bsky.social while setting up cell modem backdoors…I mean out of band management systems just feels right.

Look, I’m gonna need some folks to get real cool - real quick - with some stuff because yes I am eating frozen custard with my iced/cold coffee for breakfast.

I don’t know that it really matters or means anything but for whatever it’s worth - my preferred pronouns are now he/they. 🤷🏻‍♂️
