It was kind of embarrassing to have pre-ordered this thing only for it… ## [Getting Started with Meshtastic](https://goose.business/posts/interests/meshtastic_intro/) _2025-06-23 · Business Goose Posts_ Background A few months ago, I saw Boris post on bluesky about a group buy for a Vancouver mesh networking club.

My whole family went on a trip to Prague a few years ago. My mom wanted to see it because she had a pen pal there growing up. It was a fun trip, but anyways at one point my brother and I headed to a toy / souvenir shop and I saw this NEWS puzzle.

The meetup walk was full of interesting people and the weather was gorgeous. It's always interesting to chat with people about their lives and interests, and I love doing my little bit about the sassafrass tree. I keep waiting for it to get old, but people still seem to like it. It was an interesting turn of events that multiple people came that hadn't come in… ## [Materialists](https://goose.business/posts/reviews/materialists/) _2025-06-14 · Business Goose Posts_ I went into this movie more or less blind, with the only information I was given ahead of time being: The movie is directed by the same director as Past Lives Carmen said it was like Challengers Synopsis The movie follows a New York woman living a somewhat lavish life as a matchmaker for a snazzy matchmaking firm called "Adore".

In… ## [First Working Day at the JCCCW](https://goose.business/posts/lifeupdates/firstday_jcccw/) _2025-06-10 · Business Goose Posts_ Today was my first real day of volunteering at the JCCCW after my preliminary visit mentioned here . It was sort of mundane in many ways, but also felt really nice after years of isolation from a Pandemic, followed by a WFH tech job, followed by a few months of unemployment. I met many wonderful people at the center / remet people whose names I could not keep in my tiny walnut brain for even one… ## [New York Times Avgolemono Review](https://goose.business/posts/cooking/avgolemono/) _2025-06-09 · Business Goose Posts_ Background About a week ago, Carmen and I headed to the Greek festival in Capitol Hill. There was lots of tasty food and it was generally a lot of fun, but one of the dishes stood out to me as particularly interesting. There was a soup called Avgolemono, which was about $5 for a cup. It was a very thick soup that seemed to be a porridge made up of rice, lemons, and eggs. It was pretty thick and… ## [Bean Espresso](https://goose.business/posts/places/beancoffeecart/) _2025-06-09 · Business Goose Posts_ Background Nestled between the Spin Cycle Records and Chase Bank on Broadway, there is a hidden spot hat has been the source of significant contention over the years. For much of my time living in Seattle, I thought little of it, as it was just a sort of boarded up hole in the wall I walked by every time I hung out with my friends. I was quite surprised, then, when I saw fuel coffee setting up a… ## [Fuel Coffee](https://goose.business/posts/places/fuelcoffee/) _2025-06-09 · Business Goose Posts_ Context I have been going to the various fuel coffee shops for a long time now, almost since I first moved here. When I started hosting the Arboretum Walk until very recently, I would go to the Fuel coffee near the arboretum, and I took a bunch of "coffee classes" at their 19th Ave location back when the former Director of Coffee Christopher was still there. Overview I was a big fan of them for a…
