  • Went on a hike today where the elevation changed by 450(!) feet in under 3 miles. It was very steep in some areas, and we had to go slow. The kids did so well! I snapped this photo while we were taking a break and it might be my new favorite photo of the family.

  • Alex Standiford on How WordPress and the Fediverse Can Be Combined

    I was featured on WP Tavern, where Nathan and I talked about how the Fediverse has transformed my approach to publishing content online.

  • I Built an Indexing Platform For an External News Aggregation API

    This was a fun, and challenging project that made extensive use of Underpin. It felt good to utilize the library in this context, and it was exciting to see it reliably work in-action.

  • Recovering From The Mysterious Database Error

    So yesterday, I was casually working on my WordPress central hub for my content throughout my site. I was tinkering with the settings, and while on the general settings page, I happened to click “save”. And that’s when all hell broke loose.

  • Got the kite up to a full 500 feet with the camera attached but it was too wobbly to look good. I have some ideas on how I can stabilize it though. ????

  • Today’s birthday shenanigans start with a Route 66 themed restaurant in Bar Harbor. Seems funny to have such a theme considering the route never came near Maine, but the food looks good and it’s really cool!

  • Some shots from our first day in Acadia. โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

  • I feel silly saying “lobster in Maine is good”, but omg. Lobster in Maine is SO GOOD.

  • Mounting My GoPro To My Kite – With Footage

    I mounted a camera to my kite, flew the kite, and successfully got some cool sunset footage at my campground. This talks about the trial-and-error getting there. It shows the footage, too!

  • We have made it to Acadia National Park in Maine! We will be here for a week, and I’m thrilled to be here! I took the time off and am really looking forward to seeing what many consider to be their favorite NP in the US.
