Wrote about PHEEther. Napheesa Collier framed the battle for the soul of American pro women's basketball in a piece of brilliant rhetoric. It's a hell of an opening salvo.

Finally read your 2021 Tech Review article on ASML. I’m a sucker for process porn. Thanks for a detailed yet entertaining piece of writing (not to discount the great photos).

Gifts in the mail! We're adjusting from injection molding to MJF printed parts. These can't do the same level of detail so these prints are helping me tune things, but they look great! Additive manufacturing has come far.

It's hard to make hardware in America when you're small. How we're making the supply chain for our environmental monitor:

When you're making a hardware product, you're really making two products. Been wanting to write about the experience of building a supply chain for a while.

Pickup update #11 is a little dull unless you're into the nitty gritty of hardware production. Always fun ("fun"?) to get your first batch of boards to start analyzing the failures! (3 out of 50, but easy fixes.)

Since the '60s, Ford Has Stored Cars Underground in a Kansas City Cave - Hagerty Media

When you're making a thousand of something, you need a whole other device to automatically test your device. This board is descended from the same DNA as the Pickups it checks, like soldier and worker ants.

Making injection-molded parts is not as hard as you think, as long as you can swallow laying down a lot of money. I wrote about the grind as I finish up the molds for Pickup:

Truly a Cambrian explosion of new social networks. My screw supplier just invited me to follow them on Alibaba Feeds to get exclusive updates. On machine screws? Man, this place is getting stressful.
