mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06Indie app developer; maker of @forscore@indieapps.space (no support questions here, please). I love music, photography, travel, hiking and coding. Based in Las Vegas & Palm Springs.
I flew up to my old place, packed everything up, and immediately left in my truck on a 2-day journey to Vegas. An unexpected road closure turned yesterday’s 9-hour drive into a 12-hour one which seriously wore me out, but there were some beautiful views.
I did not expect the 7800 ft. elevation summit nor the three major snow storms. Fun fact: cruise control stops working when your grille is covered in ice. 🥶
I’m officially a Nevadan! Got my keys today, lots of work ahead… priority #1 is to not be sleeping on an air mattress tomorrow night. But I’m here and I’m excited!!
I just connected the unused c wire between my new smart thermostat and the HVAC unit on the roof after looking up the circuit board wiring diagram. I’m feeling pretty darn handy right now. 😆🪛💪
My tax preparer told me two weeks ago that I owed an eyewatering amount of money and today they corrected an oversight that flipped that amount owed to a refund and then some.
I’m of course thrilled that I’m getting money back and that my estimated tax calculations weren’t wildly off last year after all, but also… that’s a huge difference and it’s a big emotional rollercoaster to have ridden based on a single oopsie.
I’m sleeping in what will become the guest bedroom in my new house and I keep walking past the door by accident. I just realized that the rooms are laid out like my first two houses and this was the guest bedroom in one and my ex’s office in the other, so they were rooms I rarely went into. So funny how your brain maps things like that.
Younger Me would be so embarrassed to see Today Me driving my truck through Boise wearing my Carhartt baseball cap and listening to country music.
Last year US Sen. Moreno introduced a bill prohibiting and forcibly stripping dual citizenship, the IRS ‘erroneously’ shared taxpayer data with immigration officials, and now the IRS is quietly considering adding “check this box if you are a non-U.S. citizen or have dual citizenship” which must be answered under penalty of perjury. I can’t imagine any good reason for an official roster of those with multiple passports to exist.
I’ve been watching Half Man and I am at a loss for words to describe it. So potent, so terrifying, and so familiar as someone with a single sibling—a 6 years older brother who was physically violent toward me when he was a teenager. Especially as a gay man terrified of rejection by family. It’s hitting so hard.
@DejGuy@mstdn.social I’m multifaceted, what can I say 😆
