While I am, as I have said, not a big fan of AI, I have been doing my due diligence to learn about it in the event that the need to use it should arise. Again, I clarify "need" not as a lighthearted, "I need to know this or that …

After my blog post about running your own AI locally, I received some feedback regarding my arguments against using AI. Today, I'd like to respond to that feedback, but also I want to make a note for myself about how to use your locally run AI model via the API …

After much work, I have finally released EveryBible on the OpenStore! [1]

After weeks of saving, mowing the grass for a little extra cash, and putting his meager allowance money into his proverbial piggy bank, my son finally saved up enough dough to buy a retro gaming console. I helped him look through and review a lot of options, and he settled …

A while back I wrote an article about hooking up my HTX-212 to a signalink-usb and using it for APRS and Winlink from my 78 Chevy pickup [1]. I recently moved it to my newly restored 1968 Chevy pickup, and had an issue with it, so I thought I'd share …
