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.

Holy cow... did somebody order a whole bunch of 4-H activities? Oh... I think that might've been me.

Those techy, geeks in the audience that use an iPhone probably recognize that the photos they take are in a format that's generally a little... Tricky to use with other resources. Seems I most frequently run into this issue when working on updating my blog with pictures that I took on my phone. I really would much rather use a .png format in place of the somewhat irksome .heic format that my iPhone captures. There's plenty of things online that I could upload my photos too, but who really wants to do that? I'd rather use something a little more "close to home."
