It may have been about a decade since my last blog update, but I’ve been plenty busy with cool projects this whole time. A recent burst of…
Here’s another quick and practical project that I knocked off in a couple evenings. My new POC mountain bike helmet has a non-standard venting arrangement, which makes…

Josh: You know me. Designer glasses… Black turtlenecks…
