In Search Of The Perfect Loaf: Day #2
If you read yesterday’s post, you’ll remember I’m going for simplicity… so I chose a recipe from my favorite bread cookbook that was developed to be exactly that.Continue reading
In Search Of The Perfect Loaf: Day #1
So what is the perfect loaf anyway?
It only has 4 ingredients: flour, water, yeast, and salt. Okay… maybe 6 if you use sugar and butter. You can mix it in a bread machine or electric mixer and bake it in a regular pan you already own. It’s not fancy… no braids… no slashes from that fancy lame you learned to use by watching hours of YouTube videos.Continue reading

Hydroponics 101: The Missing Manual

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B: External Power Button With USB Fan
How I Got Here
I recently built a Printer-box enclosure for my Prusa i3 MK3S. My mantra is go big or go home, so I went for the whole package with low-voltage LED’s, exhaust fan, 4Gb Raspberry Pi 4B, Logitech C920 camera and modular control panel. My electronics skills are weak at best, so I followed a combination of the printer-box wiring diagrams and Colin Hill’s awesome videos.Continue reading
