Got my Early Birbs

I hold eight Noun Cats. I found the project before I really got intrigued by Nouns projects. I guess Noun Cats were my gateway to the greater Noun ecosystem.

The Noun Cats had a really cool innovation with the creation of Early Birbs.

The Early Birbs are a first of its kind, community-created collection: a collaboration between Noun Cats’ Co-Founder and pixel artist Dean Harvey and the Noun Cats community!

The only way to get an Early Birb is to have a Noun Cat. Today I got my eight Birbs to go with my Invisibles. I minted Early Birbs #418-425. I think they are great, and I love all the Nounish aspects of it.

Just as I finally figured out the multiple programs, zones, durations and start times of our digital irrigation controller — I’m confronted with what appears to be a completely analog irrigation controller. 😬

UniFi Network for New Home

Ordered network for the new home. Decided to stay with UniFi given the great experiences I have had with our current setup.

  • Dream Machine with integrated router, firewall, and CloudKey.
  • I wanted WiFi 6 and the only option in stock was the Access Point WiFi 6 Long-Range. I got one for each floor.
  • Main switching bay is two Switch Lite 16 PoE and then 2 Switch Flex Mini for remote ports.
