Python, REAPER, and a Stream Deck? What do those things have in common? Is this one of those weird games? Not really. This is how I hooked up a Stream-Deck controller to control my REAPER audio software.

You asked... so here it is! A whole bunch of random Python goodies. Things to help you get started, to learn about the language, to go deeper... and more!

A short article, but hopefully getting a jump on getting back in the habbit of documenting what I'm up to. Check out this cool tool!

Idaho 4-H youth are astounding, aren't they? The things they'll do, the accomplishments they'll achieve. The distances they'll go. It's just awesome. These future leaders can do some amazing things. This last weekend at KYG is a perfect example of it. Read on to see more about how the Video Editor did an incredible job producing some great content.

Admit it, you've always wanted an overly-complex coffee-making machine, haven't you? Something that's innately simple to use, but a complex masterpiece to marvel at; especially on those early Saturday mornings when the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet. Well, I've done it. I've built just that. I call it... the 5282. Let me explain.

Over the years, I've tried a few installation methods for Jupyter Notebooks and Jupyter lab. I've finally found one that I think is a little simpler than some of the others. Let me share that now for the benefit of Electrical Engineering students.

A few months ago I wrapped up some work on a fun little project I developed for some teaching exercises. Let me tell you about it!

Today I learned that it IS possible to make a relatively simple static site that has some automatic authentication built in to NGINX that will use a custom HTML file for the login page as opposed to the basic-auth prompt that gets so annoying.

With all of these 4-H activities that I've been helping with, I've been in my car. A lot. That means that I don't always have access to great internet, great resources, and I can't always connect home to my servers, there. I've decided to combat that by building a single, portable network. A network in a box, if you will. Here's how I did it.

This is it... My first non-work-related technical presentation at a conference. It's pretty exciting! It's right in my own back yard, even! I'm presenting at LinuxFest Northwest, 2024!
