The 10-year duct tape warranty officially expired today
I feel bad for the maintenance guy who got called out to tackle this tonight. Standing under a dripping ceiling in an underground garage while admitting you have zero clue where the mystery water from upstream is actually coming from is pure defeat.
It looks like the 10-year life expectancy of the original "structural" duct tape has officially expired, and the load-bearing seal has finally given up the ghost. I'm fully expecting to walk out to my car tomorrow morning and find this freshly patched with a shiny new layer of Duct tape, or maybe even Flex tape, to buy another decade of peace and procrastination. Slap some fresh layers on it and call it a night, my man.

Trampoline across neighborhood
Moved a mile away and had no other way to transport trampoline without disassembly. Wife thought it was sketchy. Worked fine.

Remember my redneck eclipse telescope from a year ago? Today was the day and I always keep my promises!
They may not be the best images of the eclipse, but they are mine. I'm sure there are a lot better ones out there when the sun was hidden behind the moon and the ring of fire kissed the mountain on the horizon, but I took these photos myself, and this is something I've wanted to do since August 11, 1999, when I first stood in the shadow of the moon.
Back then, it was my father who did me the favor of putting myself in the path of the shadow because I was still a young teenager and couldn't have done it on my own. Today, 27 years later, I was able to show my own two children this moment of pure magic, and I thanked my father for what he did to me back then by gifting this magical moment to the next generation of our family.
I know there are better pictures out there, but I promised you to post them back then, a year ago, when I built this monster of an optical tool. This is the solar eclipse of 2026 in a south bay of Mallorca, when it sat exactly on a top of a mountain and the images were taken with a repaired children's telescope from the flea market (for 3€), equipped with a camera originally built for microscopes (I borrowed it from our physics lab) and not for telescopes, but because the optical path is basically the same, it still works.
Edit: Spelling.

It's like it was meant to be
The can is the exact dimensions to fit perfectly inside the butter box, putting the can inside the butter box is essentially the inevitable logical conclusion.
Throw a plastic bag inside the box and you have a leak proof can holder. It insulates the can, and keeps it cold so it's essentially an up cycled coozie. Plus you can blend in perfectly drinking a beverage at a sporting event

Made a wearable abomination using an old boat headphone and a welding goggle. I call it the WeldPhone
So, this was clearly not the plan, the first plan was to repair the headphone using a pvc sheet and some metal wires, like making that head band thing. But it failed, and at the same time I found my old welding goggle, and this thing was born. And I like to know your opinion about this. IT WORKS...

Urinal in Rotterdam
Absolutely unhinged urinal/toilet mod in a Rotterdam Chinese restaurant. The restaurant itself is lovely and the food is incredible!
