So, I’ve done it - I’ve gone and joined the legion of those who are live-streaming. Yes, yes, I know. Everyone is doing it, it’s the hip and cool thing right now, why are you jumping on the bandwagon? You’re not young, conventionally attractive, and playing video …

Over on the Adafruit Blog, there’s a call for thoughts about the state of CircuitPython, a recap of 2021, and our thoughts about 2022. Although my 2021 got sort of blown out of the water by the pandemic and my Major Health Crisis(tm), I’m renewing my focus …

Yes, yes, I know…another year, another blog reboot. So, where have I been, and what’s been going on?

Suffice it to say that 2021 was a wiiiiiiild ride for me. Aside from the continuing aftermath of the pandemic (which included a layoff from my employer of nearly seven …

On twitter recently, I posted some photos of a little portable prototyping station I threw together.

Henry Moore asked for some details and a parts list, so I thought I’d throw together a quick blog post about it.

If you use emacs at all, you’ll quickly discover that it’s much more than just a text editor. Emacs is a software development platform, too, and as such it’s nearly endlessly customizable. One result of this extensibility is that, if you use emacs very much, your customization …

I’ve been doing some retooling of my blog (while I’ve been on furlough from my day job because of COVID-19). I’m now using cryogen, a Clojure-based static site generator, rather than the Python-based Pelican site generator that previously powered it.
