Trying this socially distant eating out thing — with anomalily
Can't see how much we're smiling about the fresh air — with anomalily
Much nicer air today!
📍 Northwest Veterinary Specialists
Went on a bike ride down to the waterfront today. The air isn't all that much worse outside than inside this point especially with an N95 mask, so thought it'd be a fun adventure. It's hard to describe just how bad the air is, but this is what it actually looks like in Portland right now. I know it looks like a cheap Instagram filter but this is pretty much the real color outside.
I have now resorted to wearing my N95 mask inside
Now you too can watch the AQI inside and outside my house: https://aaronparecki.com/air/
Fun Friday night project: set up a PM2.5 sensor inside and hooked it up to my home automation hub, and now have a display on the wall showing the terrible terrible inside and outside AQI

Why yes I *am* holding my laptop over the air conditioner to cool the CPU while I export my video so that it goes faster why did you ask
My view today for the OAuth Security Workshop! #osw2020
New studio space is coming along nicely! Got a rug in there which really helps with the sound, it's not nearly as echoey now. Still need some more sound treatment for the walls but it's progress!
Coffee to go

My wall calendar has been feeling lonely since I haven't been filling it with airplane stickers lately, so I made some YouTube stickers to track my channel's progress! #RoadTo10K
First quarantine haircut. About two months overdue. Definitely turned out lopsided so I'm styling it like this instead. #selfie
