This is my digital garden. I call it the pub as a hybrid of the public house, and the publishing house. I want to generate ideas, discuss those ideas, and iterate on system designs based on the outcomes of those discussions.

My current field of work is analog restoration, in the form of restoring and maintaining old diesel marine vessels. I am the single operator of a marine service business in Seattle, WA and am currently restoring the 42-foot twin screw 1985 CHB Trawler Changing Tides

I also have an interest in other forms of right-to-repair like repairing tech devices, older vehicles, appliances, and anything that has analog components which can be services with OEM or aftermarket parts. I am very interested in fabrication of parts where none are available, but have no yet given time to this path. In the future that may include: machining, additive manufacturing (3-D printing), welding, and other forms of platform/tools development in the analog space.

Something I am investigating right now is the concept of Mapping vs Packing. I do not have a note for this yet but currently I am drawing a Map of Books which is intended to help me maintain a healthy reading habit.
