a few minutes with the 3D printer and I printed a replacement for the plastic part that broke off the waffle iron handle! Saved me $20 for the replacement part since I apparently voided the warranty by taking off the handle to see what was broken. 😅 This is why I have a 3D printer!

This Ikea drain is clever, it means you can have a full depth drawer under the sink, but it gets clogged up so fast. There's a reason sinks don't have 90 degree turns in their drains. The U bend had some junk in it, but the straight part between the 90 degree turns was full of the most foul looking goo I've ever seen. At least it's clean now and draining fast again.

This is so silly, I just need to vent. I have this Krups waffle iron, and part of the locking handle has been broken since I got it. I took it apart (really just removed like 6 screws) and there's clearly a plastic part that broke off inside. So I go to the Krups website and ...

It works! I spent the morning on the final touches of replacing the guts of the iMac with an HDMI monitor. I made a mount for the monitor buttons to be accessible at the bottom of the iMac, and even hardwired the iMac power button into the monitor button controller! This is definitely not a high quality LCD panel, but it's still a lot better quality than the original one in the iMac.

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!

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.
