The marquee HTML element may be deprecated, but it still works, and when you combine it with emojis, and a little CSS, you can create a whole new world. Sure, you can use CSS animations, or JavaScript, to do a lot better animations, but there’s something fun about old school code that still works. The […]

How to sync WLED controllers.
Syncing WLED controllers allows your controllers to work together. I have three different controllers setup. One is the main, and two listen for changes. I assume you’ve already connected all your controllers to the same network, and they’re all up and running. If not, do that first. Now, go into the one you want as […]

We Survived ValleyScare
I’m a big fan of Valleyfair, but not a big fan of going when it’s haunted. In the past, I never even thought about going to ValleyScare at night when all the ghosts and ghouls were out, but this year, we did it! Turns out, ValleyScare is a lot of fun. The biggest thing to […]
This year’s pumpkin crop.
I’ve been trying for years to grow a good crop of pumpkins, and this year’s the best yet. We picked 18 pumpkins, most of which are small and medium-sized. There are still three green pumpkins growing, and those look to be the biggest of the bunch. Each year, I do a bit better. This year, […]
Say Hello To Sharky and Plinko
Sharky is one of our newest pets. Lily and her boyfriend won him at the Delano 4th of July carnival. I held off on posting anything as I didn’t know how long he’d live. It turns out, he’s doing great. Sharky first lived in a 2 gallon tank that we borrowed from the neighbor. Then […]

Our cat Griffin seems to like Legos.
Etihier Griffin likes Legos, or he’s jealous of them. Every time we sit down to build something, he comes and joins us. Usually sitting right on top of the pieces we need. He’s even tried to eat a few before. He’s a strange cat.
Ai Mario Mashups – Princess Bowser, Mario Groot and many more.
Ai is being talked about a lot these days, and it can be quite fun. Playing around with Microsoft Bing’s DALL-E Image Creator, I was able to generate some pretty interesting Mario character mashups. Where I started was Princess Bowser. This one didn’t disappoint. Luigi Mario is somehow evil even though both characters are good […]
Went to the mall to feed a Capybara.
This past weekend, we meet some wild animals at Sustainable Safari in Maplewood Mall. Lily had the opportunity to interact with her latest animal obsession, the Capybara. Capybaras are pretty cute when they’re small, and kinda cute, in a weird way, when they grow up, too. Sustainable Safari had all sorts of animals including goats, […]
