I've been working with, playing with, thinking about, building, or demonstrating the wonders of technology for decades. I am a freelance consultant in Los Angeles supporting some of its most creative residents and businesses. This is a writing exercise and in truth I don't know if I will lean more toward the technical or the bizarre. Either way, expect to see some technical writing here in the near future. This is just a place for me to ramble, rant, rave, or reticulate. Got something to say about it? leave a comment.
My first visit to Akihabara electric town
This has become more of a tourist/shopping experience than the electronics bazaar. I saw some incredible stuff. There was an entire floor of Apple products, with more stuff than any Apple store. Some of the old school electronics designers remain and sell wares from tightly packed market stalls. i picked up this awesome clock.
teamLab Borderless exhibition delights and amazes visitors!
The teamLab Borderless exhibit in Tokyo shows what is possible with interactive art. From video projection to three dimensional LED or other installation, i was constantly wondering what i would find around the corner. Brining life was a reoccurring theme with one room literally having flowers spring up around slow moving visitors.
Status update:
i have finally deployed some much needed updates as well as some resource restructuring of my hosted system. i broke a few things (php-curl), i fixed a few things (wordpress plugins). For the first time in ages, i am looking forward to my AWS bill. AND. . . i may actually be federated.
Zapp updates his logos!
To be honest i wasn’t a fan of Elon before i bought my car. my biggest stated fear was that Elon would destroy Tesla before they finished my car. By that i meant that he would drive tesla into enshitification or bankruptcy before full self driving was ever realized. This afternoon, i’ve rebranded with the help of APX! Autobots rollout!
Happy Pi Day 2025!
Don’t worry i didn’t share my pie with this guy. i did run him arround in circles though.
Getting Spherical!
I got to visit the sphere. it’s got some amazing tech.
Back at the VCF making good on my threat to give them stuff!
As the Vintage Computer Festival Socal jumps back into action, I make good on my promise to bring a car full of ancient equipment. All free to a good home. As usual there were amazing systems from every era running and in beautiful shape. I even saw a man in an SGI kimono!
UPDATE: another carload including X10 automation and lots of original software in boxes. also, a pile of network gear!
Fediverse Test
My blog already syndicates to my mastodon, but with this post, it should also be federated itself. ?
