Weekly Wrap Up (2025.09.13)

Or, adventures in vehicle maintenance part 2, or something. Also yes, it's been 2 weeks I mentioned previously, that I had push mowed the yard because the mower was acting up. I went ahead and changed the oil and oil filter this week. It's not super hard to do, but it did involve a ton of waiting. Primarily because it drains sooooo slowly. The funnel and container wedged in there nicely, and I moved it so it was "leaning downhill" but it still took like 45 minutes to drain. One side note, just for anyone seeing this, the juice bottle…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.31)

I almost didn't do one this week, but why not, it's also the end of Blaugust, so let's throw something together. It's supposed to be "What I learned" week, but sorry fellow Blaugistans, I've been doing blogging for ages, I am not sure there is anything I really can learn. Blaugust went about as expected. Early inspiration and drive, fizzling out to nothing as motivation and general… everything… just became too much and the "why bother" set in. I didn't take photos for reviews already written, I didn't do reviews for photos already taken. I didn't do more album write…
Daredevil: Born Again

Daredevil: Born Again

Daredevil on Netflix was one of the best things to come out of the MCU, though its questionable if its actually part of the MCU. Not to get into the weeds too much, but basically, there used to be "Marvel Movies" and "Marvel TV" as separate divisions. They had different heads, and there was dumb company politics and the claim that the movies didn't want people to feel obligated to watch a TV show to understand the films. Then they merged the divisions, and now every movie has a TV show attached and we get shows with questionable conclusions and…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.22)

Another week down for Blaugust, though I am not at all actively trying to reach any goal for that. I am not even properly promoting my posts in the Blaugust Discord. But now I'm pushing more filler t the bottom of these posts, with links lists that used to be separate posts. So I got that going for me. Games If I were still theming these around games in the title, it would be "What I'm Not Playing Edition." Though I think I used that one before. I uninstalled Overwatch, again, again, again, again, again, again… Ok, this isn't supposed…
Project – Raspberry Pi – Webcam Project and Updating Pihole

Project – Raspberry Pi – Webcam Project and Updating Pihole

On my little list of projects, I mentioned a webcam set up. My wife asked me about something for monitoring the cats while we are out. The ideal place would be in the front room area. I have plenty of Pis floating around and an extra Logitech cam, but I also already have one Pi in that area running my PiHole. There isn't any reason I couldn't attach the cam, to that Pi. It ended up being a bit more work than expected, but not really for any negative reasons. I found an easy guide for setting up Motion on…
