There's a hole in the bucket

There's actually no bucket, but I thought about the song this morning.

I went to get a suitcase from the garage since I have a trip tomorrow.

I noticed some trash in the garden so went to throw that away.

I was annoyed at the plants growing into the path so I got the shears.

After trimming the foliage, I went to sweep up, but the broom was broken; the head was loose and it just fell off.

I got a nail and hammered it in with a wrench, fixing the broom. (I have a hammer, but my wife has undiagnosed ADHD, so nothing ever stays where it is supposed to be, and I just improvise for my own sanity.)

Put everything away, and finally can start packing.

After a bit of Lemmy to recover after my adventures, of course. 馃槈

Turned my old headphones into wireless headphones

I've been using my running headphones with my newest phone for a while now. They are okay, but hurt my ears after a few hours. The most comfortable headphones I have are old Shure SRH440... which only have a wired connection.

I found a USB to 3.5mm audio adapter on AliExpress (apparently from BLUEKAKA):

I also needed a 3.5mm to 2.5mm audio cable, since the one from the headphones are a huge coiled affair designed to prevent kinks in the cable... great for recording in a studio but not very handy when walking the dog.

After hooking everything up it seems to work well. Yay!

Anyway, I was just carrying everything around loose until I realized that it was small enough to just strap onto the headphones. I used a hairband that my wife left lying around to attach the adapter.

It looks really janky, so I'll probably 3D print a nicer looking setup eventually.
