Leveling an Aquarium stand is one of the most critical steps. If you remember, we made the legs exactly the same length and then built the stand to hold them there. Due to some wood warping, I had to level the aquarium with 30-gallon tubs of water before I put the cabinet and bracing in place.

Bad Passwords – Many Just Aren’t Getting The Message
It looks like the message is still not getting through to many people that bad passwords are a serious security risk, with a new report shedding light on some particularly poor practices.
Keeper Security – in our view the best password manager for mid-sized businesses – assessed over 8,000 users across the UK, France and Germany, finding three-quarters (75%) failed to make use of recommended guidelines when creating and using passwords, with two-thirds (64%) either using weak or repeating passwords across their accounts.
Over a third of respondents also commented that they felt overwhelmed by the prospect of improving their online security, with 41% saying cybersecurity is too difficult to understand, which may go a long way towards explaining why they are more susceptible to being hacked.

Special thanks to Beyond Reef for putting up a couple of clowns for a bit, while I do some rework on a new tank! They are absolutely experts in their field and are making sure everything goes well.
Be sure to stop by if you get a chance.

Building an Aquarium Stand
More on this later, but I was lucky enough to stumble across an unbelievable deal on a HUGE aquarium (more on this later). They basically gave me a $15,000 aquarium and setup (lights, filters, the whole deal). I want to put their names here as a thank-you, but it wouldn’t be safe to put that stuff on the internet. You know who you are & thank you!
Now, I need to build a SOLID stand that can hold ~5000 lbs. Here are a few pics & details:

Pironman Rasp. Pi Mini PC Case
This is one of the best Raspberry Pi cases I have ever seen. Get an NVMe SSD and some additional ports! It’s well worth the price and has a little eye candy to boot.

Me Building a Big Aquarium
I helped a friend build a 600 gallon aquarium out of wood (the front of it was glass). This is the completed version. I was inside of it doing some silicone work.

The Unforgiving Math That Stops Epidemics
As the annual flu season approaches, medical professionals are again encouraging people to get flu shots. Perhaps you are among those who rationalize skipping the shot on the grounds that “I never get the flu” or “if I get sick, I get sick” or “I’m healthy, so I’ll get over it.” What you might not realize is that these vaccination campaigns for flu and other diseases are about much more than your health. They’re about achieving a collective resistance to disease that goes beyond individual well-being — and that is governed by mathematical principles unforgiving of unwise individual choices.

Christmas Bling
My Mom spent some serious time putting together Christmas Stockings and Tree Skirts for each of her kids:
Click on the pic for a full-sized view.
My stocking…I believe Grandma DeLay (my Dads Mom) made it.
The 2nd from the left is the stocking my mother made for me
The 3rd is a stocking she made for Marti
The 4th is a stocking Grandma DeLay made for Marti
The semi-circle over the hearth is a tree skirt my Mom made. It’s in the shape of a circle, if you lay it out, but it’s folded in half for the picture. She put some very serious time into that needle-point project.
The Takes girls (my sister-in-law and her two daughters) made the tree skirt at the bottom.

Keppy Christmases Past
- A few resourceful Keppy family members dug up some old 8mm film reels with footage of Keppy Christmases past. (Yes…it’s spelled Christmases)
- Shortened versions of those videos are in this article. Hopefully, they help remind us of family members that are not with us anymore. I really enjoyed watching these. I hope you enjoy them as well.
