About

Who's behind the hot glue, and why any of this gets documented.

The proprietor

// day job: broadcast systems

By day I'm a Broadcast Systems Engineer/Architect, keeping signal chains and live video systems on air and (mostly) behaving. By night, weekends, and any other spare minute, it's electronics, code, home automation, 3D printing, and general making & tinkering; this site is where that second job gets documented, badly, in "near" real time.

  • Electronics
  • Coding
  • Home automation
  • 3D printing
  • General making & tinkering

Status: none of these are ever finished. That's the point.
