I’m tempted to move my API back end from AWS to GC. The only thing stopping me is that the Zappa project makes it so darn easy to deploy AWS Lambdas.

Just found out about a VSCode extension which in most cases eliminates the need for Postman. Check out Thunderclient. 💻
I freakin love writing unit tests.
I never realized what a drain on the battery development with Xcode is. Sixty minutes in and I need to charge my battery.
FastAPI looks pretty sweet. Next API I build I’m going to try it out.

Trying to get the new pup acclimated to his crate. It’s an exercise in patience!
We put him in the crate while mom was showering. I was in another room and he was crying like crazy. Moved self to where the crate is.
He’s now out cold (sleeping!)
Ok. It’s decided. Barnaby.
Our little doggie has his first vet appointment tomorrow and we still can’t decide on a name.
Central Bucks School District featured in NY Times The Daily because of the hatred and vitriol at our school board meetings. CB South has bomb threat that closes school. What a messed up Tuesday.
I guarantee one of these days I’m going to send a 🖕instead of a ☝️to someone.
Re-listening to Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. There are really some gems on Disc 2 that I often overlook like X.Y.U and Tales of a Scorched Earth. 🎵
I’ve been interviewing product designers. I’ll ask the candidate about an app on their phone that has a horrible design. The answer from nearly every candidate? “My bank app”
How have I never heard of Succession 📺?
Woke up with an idea for ClipDish at 6am that I had to get up and implement.
Ok, my cellular carrier switching problems are sorted out. Went from $80 -> $25 with Visible. They’re owned by Verizon I wonder how they are able to offer this for less 💵?
Each time I listen to the new @aimeemann album I come away with a new favorite song. Home by Now is my current favorite.
Uh oh, I started porting Verzion number ➡️ Visible. Porting completed but now nothing works.
Been listening to the new Aimee Mann album. I’m glad more artists are showing up on Bandcamp. I want a way to support bands & artists I love w/o buying physical media.
Oh and the album is GREAT! 🎵
5 minutes to build ClipDish is too long when you’re just commenting out code to test something.
Finished reading: Foundation 📚
I’ve read this a few times. The new Apple show made me want to revisit this classic again.
Pulling a muscle in your back while making coffee is not a harbinger of a good day.

I’ve been eating 🎃🍬 all week. I feel bad for the kids that are now just going to get Whoppers in their basket.
Spent longer than I hoped setting up some sensors around the 🏠.
My Home Automation setup uses Home Assistant an amazing open source project.
The first project I tackled was getting my attic lights under control. There is no light switch for the attic. It’s lit via a pull string that you can access after you’ve climbed the steps. I added a vibration sensor to the attic door so that when someone opens that attic door the lights in the attic come on.
Our master bedroom has Hue bulbs and we usually just control it via Google Assistant. However, it’s nice to be able to tap a switch especially if someone is sleeping. Two Ikea 5 button remotes are a cheap option.
The biggest challenge was getting the Zigbee network stable in the upstairs. I ended up having to shuffle around smart switches that act as Zigbee routers so that there was sufficient coverage in the attic.
