October 25th 2017 Update

A realization that I hadn’t updated my “professional” site in a while. 

I’m still at Hyperloop One, I converted to full-time this year and have been promoted to Manager of Physical Networks, which means I’m responsible for ensuring that all the radio systems function, which is trickier than it sounds given the speed and environment and safety critical nature of things.

Crashspace is still the best community of hackers, artists, and nerds I know. If you’re in the LA area, consider stopping by, particularly if you need tools that don’t fit in your apartment, we have them. 

This year is challenging for many reasons, but I’m still hopeful.

yeah.

So, that happened. 

A week later, people are coming to grips with the new normal, so I thought I would take a moment to update my “professional” blog. 

So. 

I’m still contracting for Hyperloop One. (they changed their name). It’s a really fun set of problems and I’m getting to work on hard stuff.

I am very proud of crashspace, as we enter our seventh year of operation, it’s stronger than ever as a hackerspace and community. As President of it, I get to share in the glory, but it’s really all our other members doing cool things. 

I did some contracting for smaller companies, like Pinpoint Eyes and FlyHydra, whom you may hear from soon. They have cool products, and I’m not a full team member but I am happy to have contributed some. 

I may be launching a Patreon or Patreons soon, to support some overtly political projects I am kicking around with friends privately right now. I will post about them as they launch. 

I got an iPad Pro, and I can confirm the Pencil is the best electronic drawing experience I’ve had yet. I will post art on my personal tumblr. 

I hope everybody is safe and hopeful and hopping mad, because we’ve got some work to do.
