  • When I’m making coffee for just myself, the Aeropress is a method I enjoy often.

    Here’s my recipe for a largish 12-14 oz mug:

    2 Aeropress scoops of espresso-ground coffee in an inverted Aeropress.

    Pour water just off-boil half way, saturating grinds and allowing a brief bloom.

    Pour in just a bit more water, leaving some room at the top. Stir for about 10 seconds.

    Put filter on, wait 2 minutes.

    Place Aeropress on mug, and press.

    Top off resulting concentrate with hot water as desired.

    This will make a very bold cup of coffee! For some people, it’s too strong.

    For the same large mug size, you can use one and half or even just one Aeropress scoop of coffee, to taste, for a milder mug.

  • Accidentally initiated a factory reset a couple of weeks ago. Took the opportunity to not reinstall social media (excepting micro.blog) and re-think how my home screen and app library should work for me.

  • Good news! Successfully replaced the light switch yesterday without killing myself.

  • Gearing up to replace a few switches and outlets around the house. This video was super helpful.

  • Today at St. George’s Anglican Church Pastor Shane reminded us that pride is the source of judgmentalism, and that ultimately, no one has any cause to compare themselves to others.

    All pride in ourselves is ultimatley misplaced, because we all miss the mark when it comes to what’s most important: eternal life now and forever.

    God pours out his mercy on all, and that’s all that matters.

  • Hope for the renewal of all things in and because of Jesus is what keeps me going when I consider and experience the suffering of the world. I’ve also found light in the ways that ultimate renewal manifests in the present–in true worship, in acts of kindness between strangers, in the refusal to receive the injustices of the world as the status quo.
