Public Service Broadcasting (band)
Daneel tuned me onto a new band recently, and I've become enamored.
Public Service Broadcasting is a rock group from the UK that creates instrumental music that trends a bit electronic and includes samples of... public broadcast radio from the UK. It's great music that warms my NPR and New Deal-loving heart.

You can find them on Bandcamp, and in Apple Music (the two places I can access them).
The "The War Room" EP is not available on Apple Music, so go give them money (I gave them £10, the asking price is £4 I think) for a great EP.

@vvuksan Great, now my #smarthome is going to have me on call 24-7 #opslife
Current most frustrating #smarthome problem: I've been testing a door sensor (Elgato Eve) and cannot find a solution to "notify me if this door left open for x seconds". HomeKit doesn't quite support the automation, and the sensors are too simple to track time-open themselves.
Got myself a couple of Wemo outlets as an early Christmas present; now looking for property to mortgage so I can replace every electrical item in the house #smarthomedumbowner

Accounting for Web Services
Heading into the new year, Jodi and I have been working with our bookkeeper to re-categorize some of our expenses, and we're realizing that some of the costs associated with running a web service don't fit easily into standard accounting categories. If you're running a small business / web services company, how do you categorize the following?
