Making pastrami
I first tried making pastrami almost 20 years ago.
I saw the cheap corned beef at the supermarket and decided it was time to try again.
I keep my expectations low and it turned out better than I hoped. I think an actual meat slicer would help as I can’t really slice deli thin to get the right texture.
Paying with a magic wand
I saw someone on the internet using a magic wand to pay and wanted to try it myself.
The 3D printed wand is a holder for a credit or debit card with the NFC chip for “contactless” payment.
The print was fairly simple and it worked well at the various stores.
Bee Hive Inspection – January 14th, 2026
Yesterday’s bee hive inspection on a warm day.
The Blue Hive is doing great after the combine in December.
Removing a graffiti tag from the bus stop
Someone tagged the bus stop, so I removed the graffiti.
Checking in on hive combine
Checked in on the Blue Hive that I combined before Christmas and saw fresh larva today.
This is a great sign to see the new queen accepted.
