I recently gave in to the temptation to purchase a 3D printer kit, and settled on the Maker’s Tool Works MendelMax 3 as the best combination of final build quality, upgrade capacity, and potential for fun building it. Not included in that list? High quality build documentation. Which, I suppose, could be considered part of the […]

Read More →As mentioned in my last blog post, I just finished a long-running project… This project took a lot of time to complete, but that was mostly because I did a lot of thinking and researching and testing – imperfectly, I might add – in an attempt to preserve the look of my one-of-a-kind shell. And […]
Read More →(Editing is for weenies. Backspace allowed only for typos…) It was a pretty good weekend. I finished a long-running project in my iMac fish tank, more or less. I need to add a couple things, but they’re standard aquarium equipment, the same things I would need to do with any new tank. Heater, PH testing, […]
Read More →As I’ve said before, a huge percentage of my job is writing and communication. I’ve measured a few times, and in a typical week, it can be over 30,000 words between email, formal documents, and various reports. Naturally, not all of this content is unique; I have a number of standard items I pull out when […]

The bad news is that once I was driving the iMac speakers with a usefully powerful sound source, it became apparent that the speakers are blown. Damn. But it’s definitely not the amp – that part works great, on speakers or headphones, from multiple sound sources. […]
Read More →So, my fish tank needed an amp. What? The sound levels in the iMac speakers are too low when driven by the Raspberry Pi that powers the thing, and since I want it to be an internet jukebox for my office, that’s not going to work very well. After much searching for the right amp […]
Read More →How many sources of information do you use, every day, that you implicitly trust? And should you trust them? In the course of a risk assessment we’re conducting at the firm, I hired a company to do a number of security penetration tests. Yes, Sneakers was actually a documentary. Also, yes, I did include that just […]
