New company idea someone needs to run with: Dumb Products Inc. Super high quality products meant to last decades but with ZERO "smart" features. Just top shelf bulletproof components, energy efficiency, and zero internet connection.

My buddy just got back from Ukraine and brought me this as a gift. "Russian warship, go f**k yourself" Hell yeah!!

If you're in Austin and love hardtech/deeptech you should come to the monthly happy hour I co-host. The next one is next Thursday. Also we finally have a website after only 4 years of doing these. Haha. Overachievers, I know. h3atx.com/

3rd pass cleaning just one of the ballscrews on my 3d printer. Maybe I shouldn't have put it off for over a year. 🤢 Past Riley is my greatest nemesis.

My solution for AC in garage/workshop is a window unit installed into the wall. The old one crapped out and is getting replaced. Past Riley took insulation too seriously. Good thing I will probably do just the same, all to be cursed by future Riley. And so the cycle goes 😅

I can neither confirm nor deny how excited I am about what we are cooking up!
You know the engineers are cooking when the entire UI is ASCII art. Big things in the works.

Hey kids ... don't install one of your rotor blades upside-down. Also ... turns out if your tandem UAV helicopter is robust enough it can still fly with one of the rotor blades upside-down Don't ask me how I know these things

Got a bit spicy at the end but 3rd successful test flight in the bag. Our pilot is a beast.

I love seeing the USA finally getting back to building real things out of atoms, and not just fucking around with software. And made all the better that so many of the these badasses are right here in central Texas!

If you're in Austin and like hardtech/deeptech then you should come to H³ ATX (Hardware Happy Hour) this coming Thursday. Come grab a tasty drink or two at Cosmic Pickle and nerd out with fellow hardtech nerds. Look for the big green H³ 🚀🦾🤖 eventbrite.com/e/h3-atx-hard…

After seeing it for the second time I can easily say Hail Mary is the best movie I've seen in years. I love the book and now love the movie!! This is why we go to the movies. For wonder. For hope. For joy. For sorrow. And to be inspired. Hollywood ... do more of this!!!!

It ain't pretty but she flew. Even if just for a second before I killed the throttle since I don't actually know how to fly 😁😅 Next step, official maiden flight with a real pilot next weekend. Weather permitting.

One more fun video from testing out on the lake last week. Getting a feel for the handling and how much power is needed for takeoff.
