I am mostly posting on instagram and tiktok these days. I am @farotherside on both sites, and basically everywhere else too.

the nice thing about working in the jungle is the total absence of ambiguity. if you feel something on your arm, you never have to wonder if it's a stray hair, or a breeze, or a bug. it is *always* a bug.

also hey twitter! if we haven't spoken in a couple of years, this is what I've been up to:

man, I don't know when cleaning monkey shit off of things became part of my job description, but that's twice this week so far. #junglemedic

my toxic trait is that when a black cat crosses my path I go psspsspsspsspss

can’t we just roll out a wireless covid-19 vaccination over 5G?

you might be able to get me to move back onto land someday, but I don’t think I’m ever going to go back to cleaning the kitchen without using a shop-vac.

This is amazing.

pet peeve: 09:00PM is not a real time. 0900 and 2100 are real times, and 9:00PM is a real time, but not 09:00PM

I just grilled some sausages in a pan and one of them made a noise like lobster makes when you boil it and now I have questions

tfw when you grab your special ratcheting crimpers and climb the mast to do some electrical work, only to find out (at the top of the mast) that you grabbed the special ratcheting crimpers for RJ45 instead of the ones for electrical. #nerd

my new project website is live now: https://t.co/4ok6EEQV4o - feedback welcome!

the internet just asked me if I want to become a Bird Mechanic and now I love the future again

huh, apparently twitter is still a thing...? third person this week to mention it, first people in six months. maybe it’s just the east coast?

fwiw I'm mostly posting on Instagram lately. hit me up, I'm @mux23 on there (sorry to the @mux23 on Twitter for the collateral @mention)

oh hey, new blog post:

I put on a pair of crocs to go to the showers this morning, and just now realized I’ve been wearing them all day. #boatyard #dontcare

well yeah, but when’s the last time *you* had to clean corrosion off an RJ45 connector with a steel brush?

wow. after almost three years neglected in a boatyard, I filled the gas tank on my Honda EU2000i generator and it started on the first pull.

if I keep eating jelly beans at the current rate, I’m going to run out of them in a week or two.
