Easter Sunday, 2026

Yesterday was good. Easter Sunday. The Sunday School hour was repurposed for brunch. Then church. Then over to the pastor's house for a brisket lunch. Egg hunt for the kids. The weather was perfect. Kids played outside all afternoon, games and climbing in trees. Passed out in the

Starlink Mini for the Park

A Starlink Mini + battery should be on my desk in the near future if all goes as planned. It's difficult (or even impossible) to find the time to head to the park with the kids on a weekday with a typical work schedule unless it's mid-summer

Ditching Squarespace for Ghost

A contractor working on marketing, migrated a project website over to Squarespace for ease of design, SEO and all that. Fast forward a few years. The website has three or four total web pages, the almost $300 renewal is coming up, so I spin up another instance of Ghost, copy-paste

Leftover Pizza vs Fresh

Is day-old, leftover pizza (toasted) better than fresh pizza? I don't think I've ever been in a position to taste test, side-by-side, fresh pizza with properly reheated (toasted) leftover pizza, but as I sit here taking a bite of the perfectly (lightly) crunchy crush of this
