  1. Wings Over Water Birding Weekend 2025

    This month I attended the Wings Over Water Birding Festival in Blaine, Washington. This was the first birding festival I’ve attended but I had been wanting to do more social birding events. We got the idea when a family member recently moved there and my wife and I stayed at...

  2. I’ve really enjoyed the Wings Over Water birding festival this weekend, but one of my favorite surprises was finding the artwork of Laurel Mundy. Her artwork is so vivid and beautiful that we bought a few pieces and I added some to my /stickers page. I highly recommend checking out...

  3. I added my first custom web component to my site to implement a screen wake lock on recipe pages. Nice to get a chance to play with new web APIs.

  5. 🎵 listening to the album Renewal by Billy Strings I haven’t followed contemporary bluegrass but I started listening to Billy Strings’s discography after I saw they won Best Bluegrass Album at this year’s Grammy Awards. Minus some of the trippier songs I’m really enjoying it. There’s something about the string...

  6. Chicken Pot Pie

    This was inspired by the “Brown Sage-Butter Chicken Pot Pie” from page 173 of the Half Baked Harvest Super Simple Cookbook. It’s perfect to pair in a meal plan with Rotisserie Chicken Bone Broth to get the richest broth flavors. I’d also like to compare it with Tieghan’s Skillet Chicken...

  7. Somehow we ended up with a million cookies in our house and I’m not mad about it. 🍪

  8. Queer Eye Halibut En Papillote

    This recipe comes from Antoni Porowski in Queer Eye Season 9 episode 4 “The Snack Attack is Back” (around the 22 minute mark). The name is French for “baked in parchment” and it uses the paper to seal in moisture and steam the fish. Don’t skimp on the toppings either...

  9. I just got inspired to write some blog posts but I’m discouraged by the long list of previous ideas I haven’t written yet. Plus I usually end up distracted by ideas for improving my site. Anyone have tips on developing a writing habit? I mainly do it because I enjoy...

  10. More progress on Omnibear! Fixed some bugs and even implemented some enhancements. Still some big known bugs, but it’s getting more usable. Soon I’ll have to figure out distribution.

  11. Chocolate Drop Cupcakes

    Bekah got a modified copy of this cooks.com recipe years ago (dated 2009) from her friend Lisha’s mom and recently found it. These are rich and so don’t need any frosting. We’ve also made these as minis using mini chocolate chips. Summary Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes...

  12. Mindful Birding

    As someone who easily gets swept up in the challenge of IDing a bird, I really like the intentionality of mindful birding. When I notice a bird but can’t seem to get a good enough look at it I can focus on it so much that I don’t enjoy everything...

  13. Chili Fiesta

    Bekah family used to make this thick chili recipe. It was passed on from her maternal grandmother. But the trick is it has a bunch of toppings to make it more fun. The units I’ve written down are half of the original which apparently made 30 servings and adjusted for...

  15. Progress update on the Omnibear Micropub Extension! This is the first post using a WIP version compatible with Chrome’s manifest V3 requirements! It’s also the first post on my site using the extension. There is still lots to do. [Not] shockingly, rewriting all the state management in the codebase lead...
