It works! I spent the morning on the final touches of replacing the guts of the iMac with an HDMI monitor. I made a mount for the monitor buttons to be accessible at the bottom of the iMac, and even hardwired the iMac power button into the monitor button controller! This is definitely not a high quality LCD panel, but it's still a lot better quality than the original one in the iMac.
Just a regular day of catching up on meetings and work with the cats.

Well that's random... the buttons on the LCD monitor controller line up perfectly with the ports from the iMac case... I think I can 3D print a mount that turns the ports into the monitor buttons!
I think this is going to work! I gutted an iMac G5 that had a broken display, and am swapping the display with the guts of a new 17" monitor! Gotta let the epoxy set, then I can wire it back up!

yeah I don't think I'm going to be able to bend this back into shape.
Today I spent way too long iterating on the design for this over-the-top bicycle trailer workstation cart contraption. I've got a lot of things in mind to use it for, so I think I'm going to do it. The only question is whether this will be too top-heavy and at risk of tipping. Most of the weight is at the bottom, and I'll usually be hauling a giant battery at the base too, so it might be fine. Worst case I can always just remove the top part later.
Long day of meetings, but I did have a kitten curled up in my lap for some of them

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
