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.

- When we moved to the mountains 6 years ago we dreamed of no commute, quiet evenings with a book on the covered porch together, tea or bourbon and a view of nature. Do yourself a favor and jump off a cliff. It’s worth it.
- Pretty girl in an airplane. Life is good.

- I want to do the Zenith logo on my instrument panel (and a couple other places) in aluminum. Test run on hdpe turned out great. #myzenith750 #zenithaircraft #homebuiltaircraft
- Hopped over to Greenville for lunch in the Skylane.
- Flying Young eagles again today. Jeff has a plane full of female Civil Air Patrol cadets.

- Tonight I'm giving a seminar called "So, you want to build an airplane?". 7pm at 21 Aviation Way at the Asheville Airport. All of the cool kids are coming.
- I’ve always considered myself a dog person. I like cats, but somewhat indifferent. Valentine has decided that I’m her person. She follows me around and is almost frantic to get into my lap sometimes. It’s easier on my ego if I think of her as a stealthy murder machine rather than a fluffy lap cat.
- Time to put the fuselage halves together and cover up the arm biting chefs knife features of this plane. #myzenith750
- Fort Sumter boat and tour. No too shabby.
- Caleb can no longer say “I’ve never been on a submarine before”. Museum ships totally count.
- One of the things I find most odd about the 1950s refit of the Yorktown was the addition of a Westinghouse escalator. It seems really out of place.
- Caleb on his sit in all of the Captain chairs quest. This one is the USS Laffey
- Caleb in the Captain’s chair of the USS Yorktown
- From fuselage/cockpit base is done and getting riveted. #myzenith750
- The only way to do a thousand hour project… One hour at a time. #myzenith750
