Tonight I extended the n8n workflow I use to enable images as well. Watch out Instagram, I’mma eat yo lunch.
Even though I wish my geekiest friends lived close by so we could geek out in person, geeking out from afar is still appreciated.
So many new pieces of tech I have no idea why I would need such a things/feature/upgrade. Won’t stop me from watching a YT video about it though.
I recently recalled a college day memory when I was trying to cram so much new knowledge in my head that it was physically exhausting. While I can handle the ‘being exhausted’ just fine on my own, I’d love to get back to that level of learning new things.
The more I think about live language translation in AirPods or phones, the more it makes me want to practice my Spanish language learning. It is amazing tech, but is yet another innovation that moves us away from direct connection (he writes on his blog)
I’ve been thinking about books in the age of LLMs. I mean, sure, the LLMs will shamelessly rip them off. But the books themselves sit as a kind of quiet solitude from the rest of the madness of the modern internet. I think that’s more my speed these days.
This is my first ’thought’ post type. I miss twitter, so I’ll just put those thoughts here.
Moving up the stack, from hardware to IoT
This post talks about my past few years of work doing hardware consulting and realizing just how many clients are looking for help building IoT projects. I’d like to offer more services to that segment of customers, so I need to take on more skills. In the process, I joined a startup that enables people just like me.
Some of the content of this article was also discussed on my podcast The Amp Hour, on episode 569
Improve your circuit toolbox – Simple designs that will save your next product
I had the honor of speaking at the 2018 Hackaday Superconference over the weekend. It is one of my favorite conferences of the year. The engineers and makers I met there are focused on using their creative energy to make the world a more interesting and better place. I posted a preview of this talk in my “Humble Indicator LED” post earlier this year. This later morphed into the talk shown below. It’s about circuit designs that I have found or used in my life to save products. Watch the talk here:
The humble indicator LED
I proposed a talk to the Hackaday Superconference yesterday titled, “Improve your circuit toolbox: Simple designs that will save your next product”.
While I don’t know if the talk will be accepted, I thought it could be a good discussion regardless and thought I could write out some thoughts here. I haven’t been writing much lately and wanted to stretch my muscles again, so why not?
The first circuit on that list will be an indicator LED.
Yep, that simple of a circuit. Allow me to share a diagram:
