Finally tried NITRO Pepsi
Heard about NITRO pepsi a while ago, but they never seem to get it at my default grocery store. Recently, they had one in the check out line at Target and I could no longer resist. Its very similar to Nitro Cold Brew at Starbucks, it’s super smooth. Trying to decide if it’s a welcome…

On Garmin Connect Embeds…
Embedding on Modern WordPress On modern WordPress (ie: circa 6.x), it wasn’t super obvious how to use an <IFRAME> style embed using the new blocks interface. Turns out the magic is just use a Custom HTML type block and paste in the embed from the Garmin Connect website. That gets you most of the way…

The Struggle Is Real
Keeping my streak alive. Yesterday’s challenge was 51 degrees and ripping winds. Today’s challenge was feeling the cold that’s working its way through the Crowthers finally get to me. Oh well, made it through regardless.

So, I upgraded both, with a big hat tip to Digital Ocean’s numerous tutorials (here is a good place to start.) They were equally helpful…

MacOS, sigh…
Shot my foot off messing around with sshfs and a VM on my antsle nano. I somehow managed to get a mount hosed and the only way to recover is reboot my host mac (mount -f and diskutil are no help, they just hang…) This is not a new problem, but I know how to…

Roku Voice Remote Pro
So, Roku has a new pro version of their remote that uses a rechargeable battery, nice! I like that idea, since it seems that our current remote eats batteries like nobody’s business. Unfortunately, at $29, just the remote alone costs as much as the 4k Roku Express device (with remote) that I’d use it with.…

Still At It
The streak continues. Really didn’t feel like running this morning, but it was a little warmer than it has been, so I threw myself out the door. I’m trying to get back to making Saturdays my longer-ish run day. So, today, I went a little further. Feeling a little better with the longer run; when…
