      • Mead

        I've recently taken up brewing mead as a hobby. It's been a bit of an investment but I've been enjoying it so far. It keeps my attention and gives me something to look forward to.

        Around the middle of last month I was especially bored and decided to search the local craigslist listings. I found a listing by a man who was selling a few gallons of honey for a steal. I think it was in the ballpark of $20/gal, or roughly $1.60/lb. On an impulse I reached out and was able to arrange to purchase the stuff. It turns out the person selling the honey owns some local timber land. A beekeeper that he'd worked with in the past had some of his hives destroyed by a bear, and offered the landowner several gallons of raw honey if he'd let him store his hives on the man's property. I lucked out, as the man already had a lot of honey and so decided to try and sell some of it.

      • MAC Attack!

        I just finished the third project for my security class. This project has been simultaneously the most difficult and most easy lab that I have done. I wanted to describe my experience of the lab here.

        • A Blogging Retrospective

          As of last Saturday, I've been blogging consistently for two years.

          When I started out I was writing about everything from how my week was going to new tech I found to music or games I was getting into and making that writing available exclusively over the gemini protocol. Not much has changed in the topics I like to write about, but last year I started making my writing available over the web in addition to gemini. At first I was using Neocities, but recently I migrated to my own Hugo static site in an effort to streamline my publishing process.

          Here's some of the things I've learned and come to enjoy in my two years of writing.
