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.

- It certainly gets attention. #tigerbaron
- My copilot is pretty.
- Such and honor and privilege to have spent the last week with the men of the 100th bomb group and their families. Got a little flying in too :). Map credit to #foreflight
- 5 empty seats is weird.
- Incredible weekend with these men. When the weekend started there were 10. Dewey Christopher passed away in his sleep here at the reunion. Blue skies Dewey.
- War stories with B-17 pilots.
- Oh nothing, just spending the day with WWII veterans at the National Museum of World War II.
- Just an ordinary day. The guy in the red? He’s a WWII B-17 pilot and I just flew him to Colorado Springs for a reunion.
- Headed to Colorado Springs tomorrow. Apparently they are in for a slight change of weather in the next 18 hours.
- Blaze pizza keto crust. Michael’s score is about a 4.7 out of 5.
- Take your wife to see Orson Scott Card and she sketches him instead of taking pictures. Welcome to my world.
- I was super nervous to cut the struts to length. Turns out a metal cutting blade on my miter saw made it a snap. #myzenith750
- Flew to Mexico MO and back for the Zenith Open House yesterday. Did I take a single picture at the event? Nope. #facepalm
- Flying an airplane with onboard radar sure is great. #tigerbaron
- Got my multi engine rating today. I didn’t even screw up.
- Measuring distances on opposite sides of the wings to make sure they are lined up using a digital tape measure with a laser on it. Was hoping for them to be “pretty close”, but exactly the same will do too :)
- Test fitting the tail. #myzenith750
- Feels weird to land in Millington. I was stationed here in 1993.
- Putting the wings on. Feels awesome. #myzenith750
- Headroom is a problem in almost every light airplane I fly. And I’m not even super tall.
