Home Networking Project 2021

So my friend Conrad will be coming for a visit in the near future and we are working on a home network project that should take things in our home to the next level. Working to setup all of the cat 6 in my place to run through an unmanaged switch and help me connect my mesh network through a wired backhaul to the service provider.

Still trying to decide on which system to use for the mesh network. Looking at several options. I wish Eero my current mesh had better PoE options - but they only have a proprietary option that is difficult.

Instead will look at netgear nighthawk mk83 - brand new as of March 2021 and does wired backhaul as well as PoE and WiFi 6. Also will be using a netgear unmanaged switch at my switch box to connect all of my wired connections in the home.


Heuer Camaro

I really like this vintage piece. It is a Heuer Camaro with a manual winding Valjoux 7733 movement.

Latest Watch: Hamilton PSR

So over Christmas I got a new watch and I really love it. Reminds me of when I was a kid. It is a Hamilton PSR and is a remake of tthe Pulsar Time Computer shown below.


Birthday Pie

Take a look at my custom watch pie with apple filling that my mother-in-law made and designed for my 44th birthday. It was a tasty pie.

Ressence Type 1

So I just saw this watch the other day and really think it is one of the coolest designs I have ever seen. Not a bad price but for a top notch time piece. It is called the Ressence Type 1.

50 Wise Speakers Project by Phil Venditti

If you have not heard about this it is really a cool story. Phil Venditti teaches public speaking and he took a sabatical from his day job at Clover Park Technical College in Washington state to create this group of 50 videos of prominent public speakers. These are now open content for use with many different types of classes for this subject. There is a great piece on this at Creative Commons http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/42373 but you can check out the videos on Phil's YouTube Channel.
