All good things must come to an end, including high school side projects.

Conny and I just returned from a vacation in southern Africa (including but not limited to capital-S South Africa).

Let’s add some validation for this email address form field!

Today I updated a small web app that I created a decade ago and haven’t touched since then.1 The tech stack of the old version was this: Bootstrap 2.3.2 (minified version included in repo) AngularJS 1.2.16 (embedded from http://ajax.googleapis.com CDN URL)

This blog post is my (not sponsored) writeup of the experience of not getting a Google Fiber internet connection in Salt Lake City.

Three years ago I published a blog post on how to generate barcodes using Python.

Apropos of nothing, here is a list of the official Twitter accounts of each US National Park.

It’s been quite exhilarating for Conny and I to see our article about the vaccine supply chain go viral (no pun intended).

For our in-depth article about the supply chain of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, my co-author and better half Conny and I read hundreds of articles, data sheets, and press releases.

Sections of this post were co-authored by Cornelia Scheitz.

This post is part 4 of a series covering material I presented in a talk at PyCon 2019.

This post is part 1 of a series.

tl;dr: Here’s the link to the spreadsheet.

I have wanted to create a visualization of some of my travels for a long time but always got stuck procrastinating the details: Which arbitrary geographical divisions to use?

Barcodes are a cheap and ubiquitous way to add machine-readable information to an object.

I travel to Germany to visit family approximately once every 18 months.

The PyCon 2018 website is up and the January 3rd deadline for talk proposals is approaching steadily.

The process for packaging and publishing Python packages is subject to much community discussion and frequent change.

The PyCon talk which I’ve been preparing for with steadily increasing stress levels since February happened three weeks ago at PyCon 2017 in Portland.

The high level update on my PyCon talk prep is that I’m currently making the transition from making steady deliberate progress to a more panic-driven hair-on-fire style of working.

Conny and I recently took Amtrak’s California Zephyr train from Chicago back home to San Francisco.

It’s been a month since my factory automation talk got accepted into PyCon.

Call me a Luddite if you wish, but I lament the lack of serial ports in modern laptops.

In last week’s post about barcode readers I mentioned that I purchased an MS3 from Microscan for my PyCon demo.

If you read last week’s blog post you already know that I’ve got three months to put together a physical demo for a PyCon talk about factory automation.

… is this thing still on?

I didn’t get a chance to do a lot of writing during my time in grad school.

Any market where unnecessary middlemen stand between customers and their successful use of a solution is about to be disrupted.

I am a fan of Google products.

Exciting times in modular robotics land!

This might be a no-brainer for developers who developed for webOS phones in the past.

I spent the last two weekends[1] working with the Fluidinfo API (here is why).

I announced yesterday that I am currently working on a submission to the O’Reilly/Fluidinfo API contest.

Today is the day I start text blogging.

How does a small startup get the word out about their API?
