Engineering and experimental music. I am interested in amateur radio, particularly in homebrewing equipment. I hold an Extra License with the callsign KO0I, but I’ve only recently found the space to build my HF antenna. I have been playing with RepRap machines for many years (since 2010) and presently own my best approximation of a Prusa i3, I use it to print all kinds of things. I enjoy gardening, zero-waste, tinkering, trading, being outdoors, and bicycling.

A little over 10 years ago, I got into Reprap because I was intrigued with possibility of a machine that could print most of its own components. A self-replicating factory still sounds like a cool idea. I was intrigued with the possibility of being able to replace any random component in my car or some other context...
Motivation I have had this game idea bouncing around in my head for a long time. Expressive movement, open-world, low-res to permit a lot of speed, and a variety of celestial objects to zip in and around. Set in some post-scarcity civilization, the suit is nigh-invincible. Surface Details: Thanks to Loren Schmidt...

Always Remember: Space and time are not separate, they are manifestations of the same thing. Electricity and magnetism are not separate, they are manifestations of the same thing. Compression and prediction are not separate, they are manifestations of the same thing. Chaos and order are not separate, they are...
Motivation I struggled enough with the matter that I figured maybe it was worth typing a bit about it. I have a lot of notes in \(\LaTeX\), so I figure that sooner or later I would need to add to the site dependencies (ugh) to support math symbols being rendered if I wanted to discuss any of my notes from...
Overview Large language models (LLMs), also commonly called “AI” are not very good, in multiple senses of the word. There are some cases where the technology may be less corrosive to the human spirit, so in this blog post I wanted to try to articulate the thoughts and feelings I have on the matter. The big problem...

Some Background There is a certain site that used to be popular that I left for Mastodon and Bluesky for. I probably do not have to mention the name for you to figure out which site. Anyway, my lil site’s template had some bits for link-sharing where it still referenced this site, and I made some changes that I...
What is a Noise Complaint? A Noise Complaint is a free, live noise show meant to bring attention to issues the artists regard as salient. Multiple artists are encouraged to play. If there are 2-4 musicians, it is possible to have a full potluck situation where each musician can have a niche in the mix and play all...
Some Background I have been deeply grateful for the chance to work in the world of ASIC design and verification. But, while a mentally challenging career can be satisfying, after over years with the same employer, I encountered a spell of deep, accumulating fatigue that hampered my creative and executive capacities...
