Another interesting article: 'Locked to the Sun and Moon': The startling 1960s theory that Stonehenge was a prehistoric computer#

I use Dave Winer's Drummer for writing this blog as well as doing some cool scripting. I was a huge fan and big user of Dave's Userland Frontier which he and Jake Savin are currently porting to modern OSes codenamed Atlantis. I am really looking forward to seeing it in the wild.#

This is one of the coolest projects I have ever seen being both a Raspberry Pi fan and a musician! It's called Halfmoon Chimes. Check out the article here. Watch the video here.#

I've been watching the increase in people creating cool gadgets using the Waveshare ESP32-S3 1.8inch AMOLED Touch Display so I finally broke down and ordered one! I used to do a lot of "physical computing" with all kinds of microcontrollers including Arduino and many from Adafruit.com. And of course I have worked with a lot of Raspberry Pi projects but it's a "single board computer" not a microcontroller. I loved working with the hardware but have gotten away from it with all of the AI work I have been getting involved with some of my consulting clients. Check out this search on Twitter for ESP32-S3 and you'll see how interest has ramped up with these gadgets. Mine will be arriving in about 10 days hopefully! Can't wait! #

We lost our internet and all of the other services supplied by Comcast for about 4 hours last evening. The wicked storms we had on Thursday seemed to have caused damages in their network. Not sure why it took 2 days for the impact to hit our neighborhood.#

The heat, humidity and rain have finally moved out and today is going to be a beautiful, sunny day with the temps in the seasonal mid to upper 70s. 😍#

Had a great time at the Pirate game last night with the family! They actually won a game (1-0) while I was in attendance! The drone show was really cool but I have to admit I'm still a fireworks night kind of guy!#

We're going to the Pirates dame this evening with my daughter and her family which includes 2 of our grandsons! After the game the Pirates are putting on a drone show which swill be really cool!#

While the latest major update is going through QA I've started knocking off smaller features and fixes to the TUI project.#

I released the biggest update to date for the TUI project to QA yesterday and now I am working on a couple of smaller features while testing is taking place.#

Almost finished with the biggest update so far to the TUI project. I have a couple more items to test then I will release to QA for complete testing.#

Made great progress on implementing the new feature for the TUI yesterday although I did hit a bit of a roadblock on a separate feature that may not be able to actually work. We'll see.#

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! IYKYK#

It was a good turnout at the BaconBurgh yesterday and my daughter had a good show as well!#

Show day for my daughter at the BaconBurgh in the SouthSide Works Town Square! Should be a fun day!#

It's a grandsons kind of day! First we are celebrating one who is turning 7 today over breakfast and in the afternoon we are going to a soccer tournament for our oldest grandson. In between we are packing the car for my daughter's show on Sunday! Busy, busy! #

Made good progress yesterday on the TUI project and hope to continue on the same path today.#

Came to a somewhat important realization with the TUI project yesterday while working on a feature. I am now combining two features to make the TUI more reflective of what is actually on the box that the TUI interacts with as well as making the TUI more efficient. I hope to finish this update over the next two days#

Finally found and fixed a very elusive bug in the TUI project yesterday. More bug fixing in store for today.#

Lot's of bug chasing today in the TUI project. And hopefully releasing a new test version for the lab.#

Yesterday my daughter's show had a great turnout and wonderful weather! 😀#

Just got back from helping my daughter and wife set up for the Fall Fest on Bigham street on Mt. Washington being put on by Armful of Flowers! Should be a fun afternoon!#

Today I'll be at the I Made It Market in the Mall at Robinson for my daughter's shift that every vendor must work to participate in the shop. I always enjoy meeting and talking with the customers. #

Dense fog this morning that will clear out mid morning and lead to a much nicer and drier day today!#

Very rainy morning and probably the rest of the day! Good time to buckle down on bug hunting!#

Today I will be continuing working on the TUI project adding features and fixing bugs.#

Did a lot of running around yesterday including grocery shopping after returning from OBX on Sunday. Today I'll be getting back to work on the TUI project.#

Got back in town late last night after a grueling drive from OBX. Between unbelievable traffic and storms it was almost a 12 hour drive! #

Took longer than expected to drive to Duck yesterday but we made it safe and sound! Duck Cottage here I come!#

Heading to Duck, NC this morning for a week at the beach with the extended family! Can't wait to go to my favorite spot: Duck Cottage for chai and books! 😍#

Today we get everything ready for the beach and head out tomorrow. We need to pack the car top carrier today but everything else will go in the car in the morning.#

Finishing what I can on the TUI project today.#
