David From Space

I’m David. I live in Tacoma, Washington. I do square foot gardening, home automation with Home Assistant, and have too many cats.

You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!

  • You′re walking in the woods

    There’s no one around and your phone is dead

    Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them

    (Written in Rust)

    They’re following you, about 30 feet back

    They get down on all fours and break into a sprint

    They’re gaining on you

    “Written in Rust!”

    You’re looking for your car but you′re all turned around

    They’re almost upon you now

    And you can see there’s blood on their face

    My God, there′s blood everywhere!

    Running for your life (from writing in Rust!)

    They’re compiling a knife (it′s written in Rust!)










  • It’s mild and wet in the Pacific Northwest. It’s been in the 40s, mostly. I was hoping it’d be closer to the 50s but NOPE! I started a bunch of plants in February - lettuce, kale, several hundred onions, spinach, carrots, you name it. I transplanted them a week ago during a spat of more normal 50s weather.

    I have a good cold frame cover over my raised bed plot, and thank goodness…everything appears to have survived, despite local 30-43F degree weather here. That includes one dip to 31F! I’m super happy! Spring 2025 friends:
