Welcome to my blog

Hello! Though I've been building websites for quite a bit, I've been interested in computers for quite a bit longer. I was running DOS games at the age of 5 and am fairly familiar with every Windows OS since Windows 3.1.

In high school I signed up for an elective computer class. My favorite assignment was taking apart a PC and writing a technical manual that anybody could follow to put it back together. As daunting as this seemed (one group near ours wired their power supply improperly and sent sparks and smoke everywhere). I took extra care to gather the best pictures, thoroughly document the steps, and fastidiously document the steps and reverse engineer them for the manual. I got a 100% on something I felt rather ill equipped for. This assignment was the main reason I always imagined myself to be better at hardware until I discovered web design in a visual communications class in college.

Though it was tough at first, the code always did exactly what you told it. This helped me recognize mistakes early and eventually things clicked. I went above and beyond that assignment because the teacher wanted us to use Dreamweaver's drag and drop feature. I noticed this methodology led to very messy code that might be hard for the SEO spiders to parse. I opted to hand code and do it with the correct syntax instead. This helped me down the line to be able to recognize patterns better and stop AI implementations that aren't going to work.

This is my first dip into content generation (independent of any social media). Though I probably won't write too often here I do have some ideas of things I'd like to talk about.

Topics I'll probably cover:

• Static Site generation
• Various AI projects
• User Attention autonomy (avoiding antipatterns)
• Right to repair/own
• Digital Privacy Rights
• Mesh networks
• Anything else in the tech space of interest to me
