I make stuff with code and with wood. Just, you know, not at the same time.

Oh crap. My wife got a bad haircut. Now I need to go into witness protection until it grows out. 😢
When he sleeps like this, the chalk outline practically draws itself.
A team of archeologists has staked off a dig site inside my shop and I can't do any #woodworking until they leave.
Well, it took us nearly 40 years but the wife and I finally have the house to ourselves for the holidays. Problem is, at this age our idea of a romantic evening is early dinner and a nap.
Here's something lighthearted for the holiday - John Branyan tells the story of the 3 Little Pigs as you've never heard it. Enjoy!
#hotoffthelathe today is a set of two nested bowls and a decorative hollow form. First time using my coring rig and all of these are from the same piece of wood. Original piece of wood was 40+ lbs & without the coring rig, the two smaller pieces would be shavings at this point.
Red cedar. Hollow form has a walnut burl inlay and the top is purple heart.
Large bowl is 10.5x6 inches. Small bowl is 8.75x4.25". The hollow form is 3x3" + 1.5" for the lid.
Hey Cosonauts - I use the Brave browser and CoSo complains about "an overly aggressive ad blocker". Anyone know if there are site-specific settings I can adjust to make CoSo happy with Brave?
On "Improv dinner night" I whip something up from whatever is to hand.
Tonight I flash-seared some salmon, then poached it the rest of the way in a creamy wine sauce with sliced carrots and baby bellas.
Wife: This is amazing! Where'd you find the recipe?
Me: In the fridge.
She's no longer threatening to leave me.

The funniest thing about Rockler marketing is it parodies itself. The artificial urgency of this being the last possible day to save on Black Friday deals, when Black Friday is 8 days out, is hilarious on its own. But to receive the mailed flyer on the same day is ROTFL worthy.
Wife from kitchen: [mumble]
Me: Speak up! Did you say we are out of time?
Wife: Yes.
Me: Did we have an appointment today?
Wife: No.
Me: Are you leaving me?
Wife [louder now]: No, you idiot, but I'm considering it! THYME. T. H. Y. M. E. We are out of thyme.
Me: Oh. Pretty sure we have parsley, sage AND rosemary, though.
Wife: OK, now I *am* leaving you.
And now, quite possibly, some of you as well. You're welcome. Or perhaps I apologize. Which of these depends on your prior level of esteem for the service.
Wife asked if I'd ever heard of "chowder bait," which I assumed had something to do with getting the wait staff to show up with corn/potato-based soup.
On further discussion it turns out that Chaturbate was mentioned in some podcast. She wanted to know more but Google wasn't returning any information on it the way she spelled it.
The end result of this - and I verified by going to the site - is that the mere sight of the word Chaturbate now makes me laugh uncontrollably.
I said "I'm gonna finish this bowl today if it kills me." The bowl said "Challenge accepted."
I haven't posted#hotoffthelathe pix lately because I shattered this bowl last week, justifying my face shield expense. In the kintsugi spirit, I painstakingly glued it back together and completed the shaping today using extra-light cuts over several hours. The glossy Waterlox finish will help hold the glue seams together and minimize movement of the wood over time.
Thank God! Jesus finally got verified on the birdsite. We no longer have to take his identity on faith.
I just received an email from one of the largest financial clearing hubs in the US recommending that customers not use SSL pier name filtering.
Aside from that feature being an essential part of authentication, they said "pier" like the thing you fish off of, not "peer" as in the remote connection point.
How we still have a functioning global digital transaction infrastructure remains one of the great mysteries of the world.
Hmmm...used OpenSSL to fetch the certificate of a vendor's #IBMMQ server. Both MQ and OpenSSL use a standard TLS handshake and we are obviously authorized to connect for the MQ interface, but vendor claims using OpenSSL was an "intrusion".
If this is an intrusion I wonder if they'd recognize a real one. SMDH.

@Brisse Small turned items are quite a lot of fun! This is Mikey. Ironwood, pins with black plastic heads, and leather.
