Ham radio taught me Ohm's Law through a diagram that made an abstract formula physical. Writing about local AI hardware, I recognised the same relationship. Here is the same diagram, redrawn for inference.

The squeeze on remote inference changes what personal hardware is for. A decision framework for early adopters — written two weeks before WWDC, when Apple could change everything overnight.
What I want to make is simple: a whale, a lighthouse, a fisherman. Each one from a single stone off that beach.
They are not the only ones. If you are Canadian you may have seen this message recently: Attention is a zero sum game and Canadians are starting in greater numbers to ask reasonable questions about why their limited attention should be taken up by people who live in another country and who are, even when they are not being actively hostile towards them, not really much like them in any way at all.

I'm told I met him, when I was a small child, but I have no recollection of the event. To me he is in the category of the most dista
Every discipline thinks its tools are for one thing. The interesting work happens when someone notices they're wrong and has the gear to prove it.
The machine that cuts parts can also cut faces. Most people who own it have not noticed this.
I have moved through ham radio, CNC machining, ceramics, 3D printing, photography, and video production, not as a master of any one field but as someone who notices what each discipline borrows from the others.
Specialists tend to stay inside their own rooms. This site is about the moments when two rooms unexpectedly connect, and the gear that makes that connection practical.
I was invited by Technical.ly to write a guest post about the challenges of job seeking as a tech worker in the post-pandemic, between-recessions, pre-election, high interest rate, layoff-heavy, early generative AI environment we inhabit in this second half of 2024. You can read it at https://technical.ly/professional-development/tech-job-market-2024-layoffs/. I've included the text of the article below in case for some reason Technicall.ly removes it from the web... How one-click job listings
