I have about 20 hours available during the week for part-time web design, development, and/or product management gigs. I'm open to full-time if the fit is right, but ideally, I want time during the week to continue development on Fipamo and The Bad Space, so finding a balance between contract work and my project is the best scenario.

I do a ton of stuff on the front and back end, and two decades of experience building makes me a great fit for teams that need direction and organizing priorities.

For more details, check out my profile, and if one has any questions, feel free to send me a note.

Don't be shy. I'm here to help.

Světoví státníci jsou mí přátelé, tvrdí Babiš. Ale co o něm říkají, když se vypnou mikrofony?

Byl už večer, když mi na zašifrovaném kanálu Telegram pípla zpráva: „Můžeme si co nejdřív zavolat?“ Psal mi vysoce postavený diplomat jedné ze zemí visegrádské čtyřky.

M2 MacBook Pro reviews: A beast of a machine, but overkill for almost everyone - 9to5Mac

Alongside those for the new Mac mini, the first M2 MacBook Pro reviews are out. Everyone agrees it’s a beast of a machine, but many wonder whether it’s just too much Mac for even its target audience.

So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"

Wow, so the other day I shared what #Microsoft does when you search to download #Firefox from #Edge* but they go one step further for #Chrome.

(I have zero love for either surveillance capitalist but, my goodness, what absolute asshattery. Having spent more time than I’d like testing in #Windows these past two days, I constantly feel like some malevolent entity is trying to exploit me at every turn. Because one is. This OS is a case study in hostile #design.)

Screenshot of the Download Chrome page on google.com in the Microsoft Edge web browser. Edge has popped up a dialogue box over the page that reads: “Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft.” There is a button on it that reads “Browse securely now”

WTF is "the added TRUST of Microsoft"? Is this comedy – or what kind of "trust" do they mean?

I mean, the word can be ambiguous, right? A trust can be used to manage assets. MS certainly considers us and our data such. So if that's what they mean, they are shockingly honest here. With the exception that they never tell you what they have stored there…

Wait, "trust" can also mean "cartel". And that'd be right on spot, wouldn't it? 🤔
