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!

Recently, I was asked to provide a guest lecture. That was a first, for me, and was very fun getting prepared for the lecture. Don't get too excited, it wasn't anything wild, but it was a lot of fun!

Stand back... electronics are flying EVERYWHERE! Here's some info on those electronics dissection activities that I've been hosting around Idaho.

This little prototyping "hack" was just too good not to share.
