In December 2025 I wrote about my retirement from live streaming, which was once a valuable and very enjoyable part of my career in developer relations (DevRel). Since closing that chapter I have redesigned my website, launched a new side project, released some new music, and made a lot of space to reflect on the last five and a half years I’ve spent in DevRel and ultimately, my place in the technology industry. On birds, nature, and b..

The Fuzzy Mind Yesterday, I noted that I woke up in an unusually bad state of mind. I say it was unusual, but that has been the case for a few days now. And I wanted to elaborate. Recently, too many thoughts have been crowding my head. From work, home and everything else. There’s too much happening, and when that’s the case, the mind stops working straight. Clear thinking stops. The mind goes quiet. Thoughts zig-zag, jus..

I’ve been spending a lot of quality time in the command line over the last couple of weeks. What started as “playing around” has quickly evolved into a small pile of custom CLI apps—a few that I know will be around for a long time, and one that has completely replaced its GUI predecessor. I thought I’d share the lineup and show you what I’ve been building. Autonomix-Cli This is the official terminal successor to my GUI deskto..

New 10 GbE USB adapters are cooler, smaller, cheaper For years, the best way to get 10 gigabit networking on laptops was to buy an expensive, large, and hot 10 GbE Thunderbolt adapter. With new RTL8159-based 10G USB 3.2 adapters coming onto the market, the bulky adapters might be a thing of the past. Just look at the size of the thing in comparison to my Thunderbolt adapters: 2.5G and even 5G USB adapters have been out for a while..

I got a live version of the new blog deployed earlier and everything looks good. The big thing about the new site is it‘s a lot easier to navigate through all the content. You can easily filter on the content type you want to look at, or just read everything on the front page. The other major thing, for me at least, is to know it‘s on a much more solid foundation. I‘m going to give it another day before I switch over the DNS. #

It‘s been really great to watch on YouTube people from all over the world discover the USA in their travels for the World Cup over the past few weeks. Pretty much everyone is totally in love with what they are finding. I‘ve travelled quite a bit in the states, having done an east coast to west coast road trip several years ago, so I experienced first hand much of what folks are seeing. The USA really is an amazing place, and the people a..

I‘m putting the finishing touches to the re-architecting of the blog . It was all looking great but the realities of managing a stock implementation alongside the customized version for the site were clearly going to be an issue. So I implemented a light weight theming feature. It‘s just internal for the minute, only one theme which is he blog, but can theoretically be expanded into a full feature later. Sometimes you have to do just en..

It all started innocently enough: sometime last summer, I ran into the blog post Start your own Internet Resiliency Club on Hacker News. …communicate with each other across a few kilometers without any centralized infrastructure using cheap, low-power, unlicensed LoRa radios and open source Meshtastic text messaging software. The idea of a local, infrastructure-free communications mesh sounded useful, especially as we were about t....
