we went for a drive yesterday through the Kaibab forest in northern arizona and got back at 1am because of rain and fog on muddy forest roads it was beautiful even if much of it we only saw while dark!

here is a closer shot of the rocks! i liked this so much i made it my banner photo

we didn't get too many pictures but check out this tank and old cabin! i couldn't find much information online but this is peterson flats and peterson tanks. the road leading out is red horse and willow tanks road

i got an electronic pole saw to remove dead branches from the trees and to remove the branches above the driveway so they dont break and fall on my shiny new car (and so the birds don't leave a shit storm). i took down so much dead wood but much of it was still hard to reach.

to be fair, it was very safe with the ladder and i would not have used one i could not safely jump or fall from. the tree i climbed had a 3+ way branching where i could stand with my back against the tree and could also hold on. i may seem like the risk taking type but i evaluate them in detail

i ended up using a 6" ladder for some of the stuff (do not use a ladder with a pole saw, its not safe). then for the branch i really needed to remove i climbed the tree and wedged myself in there good and used it from there. also don't do that, it's unsafe!!

got the FFS, ran into a tree branch in the dark and cut open my scalp

i got a new car a few weeks ago and it has remote start with an app over the internet. even if you unsubscribe the cat still sends some telemetry back to their servers. you can pull the fuse but the device has a battery backup and that might kill the handsfree mic

kitties happily eating under the trap a small snack before bed. i plan to trap and catch all 7 of them early in the morning

I do not have too many interests! It’s just electronics, mechanical machines, telecom, braille, antiques, watchmaking, reading, reel to reel tapes, pagers, many/all sorts of pdas, politics, history, philosophy, 3d printing, restoring/repairing all things, hacking hardware/software/systems, cats…

just waiting to ask my team (and the lawyers) about how they feel about the risks around AI given that they are all run my EA, rationalist, CNC, sex cult, etc folks. i mentioned this to my boss last week and he had no idea what i was talking about so this should be fun to explain

seems i must convince my work that i deserve to jump over staff security engineer to principal security engineer. i have been the most senior security engineer since i started the team but have not had my position change as my responsibilities have grown over the past many years

i have told a handful of people at work that i am trans but so far only one person has figured out i'm trans on their own. if you know me from work then say hi but also please don't be weird and go and tell people i did not tell.
