I write about the past, present, and future of technology across three sites. imapenguin.com explores retro computing and programming fundamentals, milkcrunch.com covers modern software development and engineering culture, and evadot.com examines commercial spaceflight and the new space movement.

- Needed some work done inside the rear fuselage and I don’t get close to fitting in the access panel. Caleb to the rescue. #myzenith750
- I need to make a YouTube video on things I wish I’d known before I started building this thing. For example, Milwaukee makes a cordless rivet puller that I now own but wish I had bought the first day. #myzenith750
- Time to rivet the baggage area #myzenith750
- I have seen a few flying models of this plane where they left the seats unpadded and uncovered. I don’t care how tough you think you are, nothing says uncomfortable like flying in a plane with lawn chair seating. Fancy memory foam and fine material covering for this guy. Soon. #myzenith750
- I’ve been working on this plane too long to not yet have been able to sit in it and make airplane noises. Seems like a good time to make the seats. Now I just need to relearn how to use a sewing machine. #myzenith750
- We moved to the North Carolina Mountains 8 years ago and it felt like quite a risky move at the time. I’ve never grown tired of my daily 3 mile walk loop even though I’ve seen some of these scenes a thousand times.
- We had to take our Russian Blue cat Valentine to the vet today for a minor issue. This is more complicated than it seems these days. Instructions involved leaving her at the door after calling to announce we had arrived. She was not amused but is now back at home and just knocked my toothpaste tube off the counter while meowing at me for attention. Must be feeling better.
