Quickly Search for 3D Printing STL Files with Alfred
An Alfred workflow to look up STL files for 3D printing on MakerWorld, Printables, and STLFinder. As someone that's somewhat new to 3D printing, I'm still trying to figure out what the best places to find STL files to print are. Sometimes I'll find something good on one site, but not on another, and it's frustrating to go from site to site. Alfred coming through yet again for me. I created a…

The Great Migration
Hopefully, if you subscribe to my RSS feed, this is the only post you're seeing today, and you're not inundated with [checks notes] 382 additional notifications. On Monday, I got the bright idea in my head to see if I could find old versions of my site. That led me to look for old versions of my .com address, before it was snagged by a domain sniper. Then THAT led me to track down my really old…

Now (July 2024)
What a crazy month June ended up being. The Boston Celtics won the NBA Championship . What an absolute blast of a season. On top practically wire to wire. They had a relatively easy path in the playoffs, but the Mavericks (and Luka specifically) scared the shit out of me. Let's run it back next year. My family celebrated a few milestones & mourned some passings. June is one of the months where we…
