This Moment in Time

Last Modified: December 2025

This page is an ephemeral list of what I’m working on and thinking about right now.

Life

Happy Holidays and New Year!
I’m getting married in 2026! We’re having a small ceremony and reception but there’s still lots to do and plan for. I’ll be DIYing some neat electronic decor.
Trying to walk more. If I walk 2km round trip to the coffee shop, I buy myself a cookie as a reward. It’s a start.

Technology

Adjusting to a Linux as a daily driver
Leaning away from algorithms and towards human content and curation by searching for and subscribing to RSS feeds of interesting people.
Building up my homelab. What started as just a NAS is now an experiment in containerized services, home automation, and digital sovereignty. Expect an article next year.

The Café

Velvet Sunrise Villarazo Anerobic Natural Sudan Rume (Columbia): 20g->42g, 22 seconds, 15.75 Grind (JX-Pro). Very limited batch, but luckily it only took one or two shots to get nearly dialed in. I’ve never had a fermented coffee before and I’m pleasantly surprised - my espresso tastes like strawberries!

Learning

Mandarin Chinese, so I can speak at my wedding! 我自学中文，为了在我的婚礼上能讲话！
Principles of Power Electronics by Kassakian et al. I have some projects in the pipeline that involves some epic power conversion.

Playing

No Man’s Sky: one of my favourite games of all time, there is so much to see and do in this infinite universe.
ARC Raiders: I’ve been enjoying the unique tension of this game that comes from trusting (or not trusting) other human players that might, for once, actually want to work together.

Recent Photo

A recent 3D print project - an Arc Raiders shield recharger - made for my Dad this Christmas. I modified a model on printables to add the glowing ring - I'll be publishing a remix soon!
