My #Introduction.
I talk about life in #CambridgeMA and #Boston, #engineering, #science, #radios (#SDR, #HAM, #LoRa, #MeshCore), #pinball, #film, retro computers/video games, and more.
I collect #art, #LaserDiscs, study #horology, visit museums (The Met, MFA, Harvard Art #Museum) and support my local #library.
I read #poetry and books on #architecture, #design, and #urbanism.
I walk or take public #transit everywhere.
I practice #permacomputing and self-hosting, running #BSD where I can.
