The fact that this needs to be said makes me sad for the state of the world and our industry.

But proud you have the guts to say it. Cheers!

For me, I was trying to learn more about how to do Wi-Fi work, and having access to folks who were doing it was incredibly valuable.

Tonight, I finished off my favorite bottle of whiskey.

I’ve shared pours of this with many folks here at home, and at conferences. At the end, it was just a Thursday night pour on a rough week that finished it off.

Drink your best whiskey, share with others. Life is short.

Email sucks, take the bacon.

Rough week here. Hang in there Matt.

It just works…

No. Soon the Wi-Fi folks will think this is great marketing and want in.

Seems about right.

Oh boy, Friday night emergency firewall upgrade to improve IPv6 support.

May the odds be ever in my favor.

Oh, I took that for a 007 reference.

I’m a fan of no space. Yes, it’s not correct, but it works for auto correct.

Just some Friday night light-reading.

When I hear “we are a couple years away from AGI,” all I can hear are sales people telling me “20xx is the year of VDI” or Linux folks saying “this is the year of desktop Linux.”

It’s just folks saying what they hope is true, because they want to sell it to you.

There isn’t really anything in my job that scares me. Give me a project and I’ll figure it out.

But building an engine for my project car with my dad has me scared. Months of planning, thousands of $ in machining and parts, it comes down to getting everything right down to a thousandth of an inch.

The difference between data driven and data informed.

My whoop says I should be pushing hard today. But I feel exhausted. If I was driven by data, i would go do another hard ride on the indoor bike.

Being informed by data, i look at the data and use it as one input, not the only input.

Idaho parks and rec’s new campsite reservation system is failing under load.

Why am I not surprised?

Fun games I play in the garage after a project: is it blood, or is it loctite?

What to do with days off work?

My wife: Clean and organize the house!

So I printed a bunch of hat holders.

12 down, 300 to go.

If you are going to attend #WLPC in Phoenix, this deep dive should be high on your list.

GPS/GNSS is going to be a much bigger part of Wi-Fi due to the reliance on these technologies for 6GHz.

FYI, there is a position open for my team based in Austin TX (onsite) for a L4 wireless engineer.

I found a couple small deals on things I would be buying anyway. I’m not much of a deal hunter.

Cook Your Turkey From Frozen (Trust Me)" YouTube video by Chris Young

For those of you who don’t take the “Jake Snyder” approach to thanksgiving day turkey, bookmark this video on cooking a frozen turkey.

It could save the day.

That’s usually our Christmas plan.

If you follow the “Jake Snyder” approach to thanksgiving day turkey, today is the day we make brine, spatchcock and put the turkey in the brine.

Don’t sweat it. It happens to almost everyone unless you have tires taller than most curbs.
