My first PCB

Just a couple of days ago, I shipped my first PCB order to JCLPCB. This is a MOMENT. Something that needs to be marked.

My dad has been doing electronics since forever and it always intrigued and yet mystified me. I never understood how it worked. Especially as it related to audio devices. How did little resistors and capacitors make sound? It was always so fascinating, but also just as daunting to undertake learning it. Until recently.

This is a true bucket list item.

Blogging from the terminal with doom emacs & hugo on a mac

I’ve been looking to make blogging from org-mode on my mac happen ever since I started using org-mode. Reason being is that while I love learning about all the new frameworks, what I really want is a stupid easy way to write then type a few commands and my writing appear on my site. Now that I’ve repeated the process a few times - installing, configuring, breaking, fixing, breaking again, uninstalling, reinstalling - the way I learn best - I’m happy to share the exact steps I took to get here. These are should be repeatable and simple steps using mostly defaults so there’s less stuff to worry about backing up in case you have to nuke the site from orbit.

Web skills A+ easter egg

If you have a minute or two, open my personal blog in incognito mode in Chrome. Then using the inspector, run Lighthouse for mobile.

That’s right, fireworks when you get 100 in each category. I’ve never seen that before…maybe I’m doing I’ve been doing it wrong!?

Thanks to the great work on the Hugo Contrast theme by Niklas Buschmann, it happened to me.

Thank you, Niklas!
