Something has always bothered me about bicycle lights: they are fundamentally dumb. No, I do not mean that they are useless - but rather how they are not adaptive to our riding behavior. There is no way to indicate intent as we do with the turn signals and brake lights in a car.

Reading Klingon is Hard!
Few months ago I read an article about a new product named FreeWrite designed for distraction-free writing. That product intrigued me because I have a college-bound son who could benefit from such a product. The only trouble was the $549 price tag that seemed excessive considering its limited features. Granted, that is the whole point of the product yet I felt confident that I could build something equivalent for far lower cost. I am pleased to report that after investing only about $75 and some of my spare time, the finished product turned out quite nicely and became a very nice parting gift to my son for his journey into creative writing.

On Careers and Aerobatics
I have a confession: I have a lifelong seemingly irrational fascination with all things flying. I have flown in many kinds of aircraft: commercial airliners, of course, but also in smaller prop planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, a Zeppelin and even a WW II bomber. I've also intentionally jumped out of planes couple of dozen times. After all, who wouldn't? I mean sure they're pretty to look at but noisy and smelly, and the door was open.

RoboCopy and Buffalo TeraStation
Recently I set up a new recurring backup scheme from my PC’s main data drive to a 1TB Buffalo TeraStation II Pro NAS device but ran into a strange problem. I was planning to use RoboCopy as an easy and cheap (read: free) solution to a recurring backup. However, I was baffled by RoboCopy’s insistence on copying some files despite options instructing it to only copy changed files. No matter what I did, RoboCopy would always re-copy some files.
