I work on a childrens book app ([redacted]). It is a total blast. I am kind of a rock star at my kids school (as most schools use the app at this point). School kids beg for different features - their ideas are super fun. My kids are interested on what I work on - watching them pick out books to read is fun. Teaching kids to read - makes it easier to wake up in the morning. [Nice change from soul crushing ad work].
GPU hardware architecture. It's just a never ending stream of fun problems to solve and I love it!
Still entangled in combining the different data sources before start building/training models. So, I'm not having much fun right now, but soon!
I am refitting a 44-foot sailboat, repowering it with an electric motor and lithium batteries; solar panels and a wind generator to come. Lots of practical work with my hands: wiring, plumbing, carpentry, fiberglass, sewing, drilling, sanding, wrenching, tinkering. After decades of complicated software efforts, a majority of which have never gone anywhere, it feels really satisfying to build things that you can see a…
please tell me more, this is something I have dreamed about doing and may have an opportunity in the very near future (unfortunately) of doing. do you have a blog?
I'd be happy to go on about the project in as much detail as you please! Email me? Tried the address hinted at in your profile, but it bounced.
I'm learning unreal engine 5 to make vr games. I try to make stuff or find stuff online and then I put it in VR and I can look at it up close, or eventually fight it or team up with it. It's pretty hard but it's just nonstop fun. VR is a new medium. We're in that stage now where people are sort of putting stuff from the old medium in without much consideration of what new concepts or ideas might be possible. Every UI…
It's in my todo list to learn either UE5 or Unity for VR. After some light research, I've opted for UE5, but am curious how did you decide to go for UE vs Unity?

We don't have a blog. That's a good idea! We'd planned to make videos for youtube, but so far it's been too much additional work to film ourselves while we work, and we haven't made it happen.

If you make it for two weeks you can transition to any and whatever blog platform. Even DreamWidth would be fine.
