I think this is going to work! I gutted an iMac G5 that had a broken display, and am swapping the display with the guts of a new 17" monitor! Gotta let the epoxy set, then I can wire it back up!

yeah I don't think I'm going to be able to bend this back into shape.

Today I spent way too long iterating on the design for this over-the-top bicycle trailer workstation cart contraption. I've got a lot of things in mind to use it for, so I think I'm going to do it. The only question is whether this will be too top-heavy and at risk of tipping. Most of the weight is at the bottom, and I'll usually be hauling a giant battery at the base too, so it might be fine. Worst case I can always just remove the top part later.

Long day of meetings, but I did have a kitten curled up in my lap for some of them

The painters finished the stain on the range hood and took down their plastic sheeting, looks so good! Next up picking out cabinet hardware.

Today I went around and took pictures of all the cabinets to make a list of what cabinet hardware to buy. Turns out there are lots of rules about how cabinet hardware should be placed, but also you can break a lot of the rules. I think I have it figured out though.

The painters are working on the last bits here and there, painting the picture rail and staining the handrail.

I found my old iPod and charged it up and it still works! It even still has music on it. I'm only a little offended these are now being sold on eBay as retro tech.

Tonight I made a batch of vegan mac and cheese mix to restock the cabinet. It's so nice to be able to just add oat milk and mix up a nice sauce!

I installed the door code keypads today! It took so long before we were ready to install them that UniFi launched a new version that I bought instead, so the back plate is the wrong size. It matched the tall skinny UniFi readers so well, but I like this keypad better so here we are.

We really have to make a decision about the kitchen backsplash tile now! I got two more sample boxes in this week.

The new Instax from arrived! Special pink edition only available in Japan, which ironically I had seen in person in Hong Kong just a few weeks ago, but assumed I would be able to buy it in the US. So I had to buy it from a third party shipper instead.

Dehydrated a bunch of veggies overnight to use as ramen toppers for super fast ramen making.
