Sunbottle is on its final domain, solar.jamesvandyne.com. I've also open sourced it, but it needs more work before it's ready for others to use.

Great twitter thread about the cost of running some beefy Intel NUCs at home vs the cost of a server in the cloud. I wonder if I couldn't just host my blog/services at home like I used to...with solar/battery I've got power backups too :-)

⚡️I’m amazed. Even on this mostly cloudy day it looks with my small panels and small battery (which I didn’t even fill up) will get us to over 80% self-sufficient electric. 

Caveat being it wasn’t super cold today and we still cook / heat water with gas, but better than expected. Can’t wait for the first full sunny day. 

My house is now putting green electrons into the grid  (when it’s not using or storing them) 😀⚡️. Kinda cloudy today, though.

I originally learned about Nude Foods in this video about shopping plastic free. I wish we had one here in Yokohama. So. Much. Plastic.

Made some overnight white bread. It’s singing to me right out of the oven. 😋🥖

Not that I’ll be posting after each run, but I  did an easy 30 minutes this morning. Fuji looked fabulous in the pink morning sky. 🏃‍♂️

It's been a month since I've done any "proper" rides and even longer since I've run.  But I like the idea of becoming one of those people that runs everyday rain or shine. I think the "secret" isn't motivation, because motivation comes and goes, but rather building a routine. Running x times per week means you can adjust to a different day and then miss it. Daily might be a better way to build the habit.

Having a night / morning without kids in the house really allows you the space to do that thinking you've been meaning to do but just can't. (Thinking about my next rotation around the sun and what I want to do / who I want to become).
