April showers bring May flowers and make for a colorful walk in the neighborhood. Spring as certainly sprung and from it yielded allergies, pretty pics and a new Sip palette.

A delightful weekend with the family in Broken Bow Oklahoma, complements of my Bro! Got in a little hike with a backpack fill of Shih Tzu too!

Travelling to the westernmost outpost in the central timezone; Van Horn, a gem of a town halfway between Marfa and the Guadalupe Mountains National Park.

I get serious eye rolls from the wife when I say “Marfa is my favorite place on the planet” because she fears I’m serious. And I am.

A little West Texas roadtrip to Marathon, Alpine, Marfa, Fort Davis and Van Horn, with stays at 3 Trost Hotels.

Howdy! - My wife and I went out to the wide open spaces of Big Bend country for a little rest and relaxation and we loved it. Truly a unique part of Texas that we highly recommend.

As a VMware homelab enthusiast I’m always looking for ways to streamline my vSphere environment. As it turns out, being able to quickly stamp out VMs from images cuts down on toil and IMO a core capability of any respectable at-home data-center .

No frills K8s lab notes on deploying openebs and using for MinIO storage.

You get a volume, you get a volume, you, and you and you…being able to provision “elastic block storage” for K8s can be quite gratifying, you may feel like Oprah on some grand giveaway. Let’s dig in and take a gander at openebs.

DIY guide on installing, configuring and using a LoadBalancer, Ingress Controller, and Certificate Manager on a Vanilla Kubernetes Cluster so you can deal TLS certificates like a Boss.

A crude runbook for creating mini k8s clusters for homelab’ing and such.

Apple Mac Pro Cheese Graters make for a pretty sweet lego like substrate on which to run a Home Lab. In this post we’ll tease apart the ole Mac Pro and highlight its use as a Development and Virtualization Lab machine.

An experiment in replatforming from SQL to MongoDB using the Vaadin Bakery demo app.

MongoDB on Docker - build and run mongodb-enterprise

This is the first of several posts where I walk through installing MongoDB on different substrates. This post looks at installing and configuring on macOS without Homebrew which entails the following high-level steps.
