Backyard Lights

We have done a number of things in our backyard to make it more of an outdoor living space. We decided to put some LED tree lights in to make the backyard more of a place to hang out at night. I had Custom Christmas Lighting do it so it would look nicer. They did a very nice job.

Three bare trees wrapped in warm white LED string lights on a backyard deck at dusk, with a wooden fence, bench, and patio umbrella visible.

My New Espresso Bar

Espresso machine and coffee grinder on a black granite countertop atop a white cabinet, beside a colorful classroom-style wall calendar.

We had a new cabinet installed recently and the countertop and plumbing were finished today. I now have a nice spot for my espresso machine an it’s even plumbed in so no more filling up the reservoir in the unit. Just need some pulls for the doors now.

Just swapped my boot drive for an SSD with no more than 3 minutes of downtime for screws and a reboot. Thank you SuperDuper!

I didn’t even realize I had videos on Google Video until Google sent me an email saying they were shutting it down.

Very bothersome that the Mac Twitter client doesn’t honor Spaces. It forces itself in every space.
