Hello there. I'm Jack and this is my blog. It has been a while since I've done much writing but recently I've had the urge to create someplace to share my thoughts. Why? I'm not quite sure but I think I've got a couple of reasons.
- It might just be that I’ve got a lot of things that I’m working on and want somewhere to write that down.
- I miss the old internet. When Twitter was good and I would just post junk there.
- I had this domain laying around and wanted to use it. I guess 🤣
But anyway, here's some more about me. I studied mechanical engineering in college and since then I've worked as a production engineer at a major producer of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and now as a project engineer for a company that produces factory automation. At work I get the opportunity to design and assemble machines for a variety of industries. Some simple machines to assist with manual assembly and some much more complicated fully automated robotic cells.
I'm married with two kids, two cats, and a dog. Outside of work I've got more hobbies than I really have time for. I bike (bicycles, not motorcycles), I take photos, I roast coffee, I fly drones, I play video games - just to name a few. I think I'll mainly write about these but I've got some specific ideas as well...
- Coffee Roasting / Coffee Brewing
- Formula 1
- Apple and general technology
- Smart Home and troubleshooting (including my Raspberry Pi garage door)
- Cars (especially electrification)
- Attempting to make an app
But in general I have no idea where this will go or if anyone will read it. At a minimum it's a nice place to put my thoughts and experiences and at best it'll help someone out. So here goes.
