Townsville wasn’t my usual type of place to visit as a digital nomad. For one, the time zone is terrible for catching meetings US time, as it’s pretty inescapably the middle of the night. The other reason is that I wasn’t there as a tourist so much as an athlete, for the Multisport World Championships […]

I have been racing bikes since my early teens. Cycling is a really fun sport, but having suffered no less than three concussions crashing in criterium racing, and also having been hit twice by cars while training, I have moved away from the sport a bit. I tried triathlons, but don’t like swimming enough to

On my latest bike build, a Trek Speed Concept, I wanted to use Shimano Dura-Ace brakes, because the levers and brakes are a bit nicer than SRAM, with SRAM AXS shifting, which I prefer for being more completely wireless.

Germany is more often a source of digital nomads than a primary place for them to stay. However I, who have learned German on and off (mostly off) since I was about 10 years old, have always wanted to spend more time there. And while it probably won’t rank as the world’s most exciting place

In this project, I made myself a business card. It is a solar-charging RGB LED flashlight as well. In this post I’ll talk about the design and some of the testing done, in case you should like to make one yourself. A couple of years ago, I saw a ‘this business card runs Linux’ post

As my need to run more model optimization runs for AutoTS continues, I was looking at adding another mini pc to my server setup. If you don’t know, mini PCs are a class of tiny desktop computers that use laptop processors. They don’t have a battery, but the use of laptop processors means they take

The more I have looked for it, the more I have seen how large a problem erosion is for our area of Minnesota. Among such facts was that apparently the Zumbro River saw massive erosion into a valley after initial settlement (late 1800’s) and required the state reacquiring land to help stabilize it. The land
