Sites, sounds, experiments.
Code, sound, circuits, and the occasional strange idea.
An open lab notebook
What you'll find.
Part portfolio, part field journal, part "I need to write this down before I forget it."
- Audio — live capture of music performances, sound design patches, tape explorations
- Code — what I do by day. Tools I built because they didn't exist, generative sketches, odd little utilities
- Electronics — novice tinkering: audio kits I assembled, custom designs in progress, the occasional fried capacitor
- Writing / notes — I don't write a lot, but when I do it lands here
Nothing here is finished. Some things are barely started. That's the point.

Making a MacBook Pro sound like a MacBook Pro on Omarchy
The speakers were fine. Apple runs an EQ curve and Linux does not. Measuring it, fixing a PipeWire realtime bug along the way, and a skill so an agent can do it for you.
A bigger model on the same box
The third post about the GB10 box. A model five times the size, a third of the speed, and a 3090 sitting idle because of it.
Agents that stay up when the laptop does not
The built-in agents ran on my laptop, so they stopped when it did. Moving them to an always-on box let me run Claude, Pi and Hermes side by side.
The Same Box, Twice as Fast
A follow-up to the DGX Spark writeup: swapping FP8 for NVFP4 nearly doubled single-stream throughput on the same GB10 box, with room to spare for concurrency.
Shopping for a Camera: Sony a6700 vs Fujifilm X-E5
Instead of agonizing over spec sheets I ordered both the Sony a6700 and the Fujifilm X-E5 and shot them side by side for a while.
I Gave My Brother a Markdown File and an Agent Did the Rest
How a single markdown file plus an AI agent reproduced a full vLLM inference stack on a DGX Spark.
AML EZ1073 — Stereo Mic/Line Preamp Pair
Two genuine Neve 1073 reproductions built from the Audio Maintenance Limited EZ1073 kit — Carnhill iron, Grayhill switches, Collective Cases chassis. Stereo pair (or dual mono) with toggleable EQ.
Currently
On the workbench, right now.
Just finished a pair of AML EZ1073 mic pres — genuine Neve 1073 reproductions with Carnhill iron and Grayhill switches — and breaking them in across the stereo bus of the summing mixer for some 1073 saturation.
Have a look around.
