    Notes
    An Arduino, with its 8-bit 16 MHz microcontroller, will set you back around $20. A microSD card with several gigabytes of memory and a microcontroller with several times the performance could be purchased for a fraction of the price.

  • My Head is in the Cloud
    Notes
    Been there for years myself, welcome to the cloud. This is part of why I'm so awkward away from an internet connection. "Now, after a few years of this, I realize that when I look up from the screen I know almost nothing.

But I sense that my addiction to the realtime stream is only making room for the consumption of a faster stream."
