What I'm doing now

Work

I’m currently splitting time betwen Remote Ham Radio and TRMNL.

At RHR, we’re focusing on application and hardware stability. This involves a lot of deep-dive bug fixes and stripping down existing functionality to the core features that people actually use.

We had a week-long TRMNL company retreat which was an amazing experience. I got to meet my teammates in person for the first time, and all things considered there was a lot of hang-out-and-code-in-the-same-room going on. I even got to use my 3D-printing design skills for something practicable.

The TRMNL X launch has gone well, and the first units have begun shipping. All that hard work over the past few months is paying off.

MARCHintosh

I finally got around to partcipating in MARCHintosh 2026, a yearly event that’s a celebration of all things vintage-Apple. I set up my SE/30 on the GlobalTalk network and had fun trolling shared folders on other Macs across the globe.

Next year I hope to contribute more than just a funny greeting card. Right now, the GlobalTalk registration process is just a Google Sheet. Surely I can help build something better than that.

Going paper-full

I’m trying to break out of screens more frequently to do work on paper. Usually it’s just taking notes, sketching ideas and diagrams, and making small to-do lists on a steno pad.

I also hung up some felt bulletin boards around the house. They look way nicer than cork boards. When I find something like a funny toot or a quote that reflects how I’m feeling, I print it out and display it in my space. It’s nice to have a physical touchstone - something to revisit over time to see how my reaction to it changes.

Spring garage/shed makeover

After a decade in a 1,400 sqft home, things tend to get… cluttered. Garages notwithstanding. Our big plan for this spring and early summer is to make the most of the space we have. That means moving my garage woodshop into a fancy new shed. Then we can clean out, organize, and finally renovate the garage to be a space you actually want to spend time in.

And yes, it’s all planned out on a Trello board.
