Uncle Seiko makes decent straps.
My friend has a epic cool home hacking setup.
I got a Motiv fitbit ring… works well so far.
Here’s a beach volleyball game, middling effort:
Life goes on!
Lastly a two part scale for bad watches, from the WPAC 2019 thread.
So years ago in grad school at UNM, I worked on audio localization. My work was on the idea of doing the convolution (applying the filter to the audio) in the wavelet domain, to extend the results from a phd student in the group. My results were poor, read about them on this page.
Then this week I saw this on Gear Patrol:
The reviews are mixed, but the really impressive part is less obvious – you use your phone camera and it uses photogrammetry to derive the geometry of your head and pinnae, and from that it creates a personal HRTF that it loads into the finger-sized gadget:
Damn. Deriving an HRTF from just a couple of pictures? As opposed to anechoic chambers and KEMAR heads?

It’s really cool to see similar work, with a big chunk of progress plus some really new and clever ideas added. This version is USB, so Android/desktop, but they do have a Bluetooth version in the works that’d work with my phone.
Highway 805, and they ran the high-tension lines under:

How about nice, neat, printed labels? Asking for a friend.
Saw this cool old car the other day and realized that, although the style is cool, I am so not interested in the hassle of and old gas engine. EV really has made a convert out of me.
I had a 1952 International pickup a long time ago. Built like a tank. This flawless beauty has similar lines.
Man that finish. So many hours.
A local rental that work paid to ferry the CEO. Looks like a labor of love to skin it like the movie prop.
Got moved to another building at work. Nice view from the balcony.
Here’s the one I started in.
And my favorite part:
No big surprises. I heart RSS and use Reddit and Twitter for entertainment.
