Personal collective of ideas, thoughts and notes
3 minutes slower than in 2022 🙂
After working on Rocky Branch since 2018 to renovate the park, it became very clear to me that the Trail Building community could really use a Framework or Templated approach for building trails. Like a niche business segment or company, all trail building projects are very similar in nature, structure, challenges and solutions. While I have not quite filled the gap of “open source trails”, I decided to take one small step in the right direction by compiling a list in the “Awesome” format, many software or online projects use these “awesome lists” to help folks get started in the right direction.
Step 2 of this project would be to build reusable templates, emails, websites, assets, way finding signage, presentations and maintenance schedules. The ultimate goal: Make it as simple as possible for volunteers, cities, towns and land owners to build trails.
Another fun 3D print project for my new Canyon Grail. Having a 3rd bottle mount for longer rides is pretty helpful. Design in Fusion 360.
8 years ago I was introduced to Serverless functions on AWS. The concept of having the ability to run code, without worrying about running the underlying sever infrastructure was pretty appealing, not only from a management and operations perspective, but also from the associated 24/7 runtime costs.
Serverless computing enables you to focus on writing code, wiring it up to a API gateway or endpoint, and only paying when the code is executed. Some of the key functions or aspects which make this unique compared to a traditional server stack such as LEPP, MEAN, LAMP, etc. is that you have to consider the key underlying characteristics of a micro-service architecture:
A wonderful elaborate blog post by Amy Goodchild share what generative art is, including various methods, technologies, examples and theories.
I tend to be more and more interested in open source hardware. Between the resonable PCB printing and cheap components, this category of DIY is becoming increasingly popular. Here is a cool project where the hardware and software are ripe for a summer project:
A nice article on the science behind information/UI density along with some reasoning and justification for why great UI/UX is so important.
