bloggyActive post


It's Saturday morning which again means I let myself decide what I want to work on.  And I wanted to write a post for the reelyActive blog so I did: Open hardware: closed case?

I suppose my writing skills are limbered up from all the Startical posts because, much to my satisfaction, I was able to crank out the post in time for lunch.  And I'm really proud of how the header photo (above) turned out.  It wasn't planned to look like an enclosure eating a PCB (or sticking out its tongue, depending on your perspective) but rather the concept emerged.  I already feel a sense of creative accomplishment today!

Reminiscing about last year's epic rail journey

Last year today I embarked on an epic rail journey from Montreal to Chicago via Vancouver and Seattle.  This time of the year is pretty much the only time I can completely escape startup life (and Internet connectivity), and a year ago I seized the opportunity to do something I'd been dreaming of since childhood: take "The Canadian" across Canada. Sat down with a beer and watched my videos from that trip (see playlists below) which brought back very fond memories not only of the trip itself, but also of Startical 1.0 which involved a similarly ridiculous Montreal to San Francisco rail journey. The playlists: "The Canadian" - Toronto to Vancouver by rail "The Empire Builder" - Seattle to Chicago by rail Also reminds me of my  Rails and Reels: History, Infrastructure and the IoT blog post from 2013, just after we had become "World's Best Startup".  Somehow rail journeys bring out the philosopher in me...
