Really looking forward to speaking at @kcdc.bsky.social this week, seeing all my friends, and nerding out. I'll be talking about Reticulum and doing a classic workshop—Putting the D&D in TDD. I am not, however, looking forward to the drive. See ya in 600 miles!

Folks seem to like my technical talks. Jason Koo and I sat down the other day and talked about how I build them—the strategy, the structure, the thought process. The beard helps, but there's more to it than that. Check out the video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZLs...

I bought an amateur radio repeater. It's currently on the air and awaiting transferal of the trusteeship. Plus some additional equipment so I can get it properly set up on the Ohio Link Network. Perhaps I've gotten a little too deep into this hobby.

Fine-tuning is the new stored procedure. Logic pushed into the wrong layer. It's fast, of course. No remote lookups. It's as close to the model as you can possibly get. But it's a serious pain to version, to test, or to understand six months later.

The monthly meeting of the Central Ohio Radio Enthusiasts is on this coming Tuesday. Details below and at the link: core.radio

Details, as always, are on the website. Please go there and RSVP so we can get a head count. Doors open at 6:00 pm. Talk starts at 6:30. The address is: 570 Polaris Pkwy Suite 200 Westerville, Ohio 43082 Second floor, at the end of the hallway

Our gracious host, as always, is CGI. Thanks for giving us a place to be the nerds that we are! core.radio

This month, I'll be speaking about #Reticulum. Don't know what Reticulum is? Not a problem. I'll explain what it is, how it works, and how to write software for it. But it's not just a talk this time, we're getting hands on and building an ad hoc Reticulum network right there in the room.

And by we, I really mean we. Bring your #LoRa boards, your laptop, your Raspberry Pis, cables, hubs, switches, and whatever networking gear you think might be fun to try to get on the network. Most of it will work.

I'm going live with @vscode.dev on YouTube today at 9am PT. Gonna do some Redis Agent Memory, some VS Code Copilot, and a little bit of ham radio! Live coding and AI will be involved so it could be brilliant or it could end in fire and tears. Watch to find out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyAx...

I built Earshot. Agents listen to audio (a mic and my ham radio), transcribe it, and write it to shared memory. A chatbot reads it and chats about it. The interesting bit, the agents never talk directly. They just share memory. Agent coordination is just decoupling. github.com/redis-develo...

CORE is an informal community for anyone enthusiastic or curious about radio—whether you're new to radio and want to learn or you've been tinkering for years and want to share. This month we have Radio Signal Analysis Using SDRs and OpenWebRX+ with Scott McCrory. Details are are core.radio.

It's May 5th at CGI in Westerville, Ohio. RSVP at core.radio.

And so it begins…

You probably haven't heard of the Reticulum Network. The tl;dr—it's an alternative network stack that's decentralized, encrypted, and runs on everything from Ethernet to LoRa radios to serial cables.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Jake from EmComm Solutions and dude.eth (not his real name, of course) yesterday to nerd out about it. It's not exactly an introduction to Reticulum, but we had a good time. The video is up on Jake's channel. Give it a gander. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnps...

If you want to learn more or get started with Reticulum yourself, everything you need is over at reticulum.network. Is it a rabbit hole? You betcha! But totally worth it!

One of my goals is to own my stuff. I think a lot of people are tired of their data, their tech, and their network being controlled by centralized powers. I am one of those people.

Well, I spent a good part of my weekend figuring this out and rather than just deploy it to my machine, I thought I'd share a repo that anyone can clone and use to get started with this configuration.

One of my goals is to own my stuff. I think a lot of people are tired of their data, their tech, and their network being controlled by centralized powers. I am one of those people.

I've been trying to get these two tools to work containerized on my headless Linux box. Specifically, I want to use Obsidian Sync + Obsidian CLI.

Obsidian Sync so that I and the AI can work with my notes from anywhere. Obsidian CLI so the AI can be more intentional, will be less likely to corrupt any files, and won't consume all my tokens navigating the file structure.

One of my goals is to own my stuff. I think a lot of people are tired of their data, their tech, and their network being controlled by centralized powers. I am one of those people.

OpenClaw (openclaw.ai) is part of that goal. I'm still not hosting my own AI yet, but the agent's memory lives on my machine. The automation is controlled by me.

Obsidian (@obsidian.md) is part of that goal. My data stays on my devices and what is shared via the cloud is done so securely, privately, and respectfully.

I sometime banter with my AI. The smarter models have a pretty decent sense of humor. Or at least they stochastically fake one pretty well. Here's a fun little interaction with OpenClaw running GPT-5.1.

International Women's Day is a fantastic thing to celebrate. May all the women in my life—and those not in my life for that matter—have a wonderful day. Of course, this year it landed on my birthday. So you'll forgive me if I also call it International Guy Day. Just this once.

LLMs can be unnecessarily verbose—loquacious even. So many bullet points just scrolling by. Most just ai;dr and move on. But when it's part of a workflow, it can break routing logic. The solution—structured output. Part 3 of Learning LangGraph.js shows you how to do it. medium.com/the-guy-wire...

I'm starting a new meetup called CORE—the Central Ohio Radio Enthusiasts. It's for radio and radio-adjacent interests. It's not a ham radio club, we talk about that, but also GMRS, mesh networks like Meshtastic, Reticulum, and HaLow, software-defined radio, and shortwave listening.

core.radioCORE: Central Ohio Radio EnthusiastsCORE is an informal radio community in central Ohio. No experience needed — beginners, curious newcomers, and seasoned hams all welcome. Ham radio, GMRS, Meshtastic, SDR, LoRa, and more.

16 Feb

We're just on Discord for now (might be moving soon, never know) but are looking for a venue for in person meetups. So if you have a place or know of a place, lemme know. And, of course, we want to get the word out. All the details can be found at core.radio.

Found this nifty tool to create animated Mermaid diagrams. I've just messed with the free version but it's pretty cheap and even has a pay as you go if you just need a couple. It's at animerm.ai if you think it'd be useful.
