Open Source Audio For Audiophiles
Volumio + Odroid + Kinter chipped mini amps. Vintage passive and powered multi channel speakers. Adequate hardware for audiophile quality sound. I am enjoying Tidal hi-res audio streams and curated playlists. Open Source. Super fun! Call me to get your custom whole house system. FLOSS is always changing, I stay on top of the tech for you. Watch this page for new products and DIY resources.
5 Axis CMM Gage Arm
Modern metrology. Arduino powered CMM aka Coordinate Measuring Machine.
It’s Not Frozen Music
Architecture is sometimes referred to as frozen music. <meh> It’s a great metaphor, but leaves me feeling, well, nothing. Everything in nature moves and changes. Frozen is dead. Frozen music might as well be a cave for all it has to do with a genuine experience of living space and place. Easy to say, very difficult to do.
Benchmaster Mill
SoCal mid-century benchtop mill. They made all sorts of fun accessories. I have a Bridgeport M head...

Toughened Shop Variable Voltage Power Supply
Adaptive reuse of two 1000W server power supplies. They no longer work in the server room ( funky intermittent errors ), but both power on. Besides, I like the form factor and current quality. Will be using Arduino and potentiometers from damaged battery powered hand tools.
Cistern Bench - 'Aware'
Part of 12,000 gal rainwater harvesting project.
Cistern bench. Japanese aesthetic in play: Aware. Spelled like conscious, but pronounced with 3 syllables. ‘Ah Wah Rey’ A nostalgic feeling for the past, expressed formally in the regular Shinto Religion EG the rebuilding of temples with new materials matching those centuries old.
Responsive Lighting ( Anti-Vegas )
Arduino powered LED proximity responsive lighting tech.
The problem with accent lighting is that there's too damn much of it most of the time. Vegas never shuts off, nor should it, but who wants Vegas Strip lighting in their neighborhood or back yard?
