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.

    The hot tub controller/heater is on its way back, but won't arrive until tomorrow evening. It's expected to drop to 28° tonight, so I had to drain the tub so the pipes don't freeze. But it's ok because this water needed to be changed out anyway, so Sunday I will try to get the tub back up in operation.

    It's crazy that CDs are the most reliable way to play a list of songs in a specific order with nothing else. Also burning CDs is super easy now too, easier than trying to put a list of files on a USB drive in a specific order. Also also my burned CDs from 20-25 years ago still play just fine, which is definitely something I questioned 20 years ago, so to my past self: the answer is yes.

    They finally installed the good door to the rooftop patio! Mačka had to immediately check out the new view of where she is not allowed to go.

    It was bothering me that I messed up the alignment of the compost bin on the cabinet door so I fixed it. There was exactly enough free space between the bin and hinge to move it so it exactly clears the other door.

    I think I finally figured out what I want to do for door locks. These Level deadbolts are super cool, the battery goes inside the deadbolt.

    Since I don't have a concrete plan for these network wires yet, I added a large box and coiled them up inside.

    "I'll just check my critical thinking and nuke it in the microwave" has to be my favorite quote from this Business Insider video on Trader Joe's white-labeled food

    Me looking at my todo list on a Sunday night after having done at least a couple things today, yet somehow it looks more like a list of what I did *not* do today.

    The TV doesn't look as good with the sound bar but it sounds a lot better.

    Picture rail everywhere means not having to poke holes in the walls to hang art! I added this slim metal rail to places I didn't think to ask them to put the wood rail before.

    With the conduit run, I am finally able to get network out to the mailbox shed! I did all the terminations and added one extra CAT6 run while the ground is still open.
