About
I’m Nick. I build small hardware projects, often with help from AI and equipment I already own. This site is where I write down what happened.
What ends up here
I don’t publish on a schedule. I start a project because I want to use it or answer a question. If it stalls, I leave that on the page instead of pretending it is done.
Most pages are build logs. I only call one a tutorial when the code and instructions are public and I’ve checked that somebody else has a real shot at following them.
How I use AI
I use Codex while researching and coding. If a local model runs in the project itself, I say so on the page.
Some early AI-Buzz videos were just model tests on an M1 MacBook. I still test models, but now each test has a job to do in a project. The question is whether the model makes that project work better on the machine I have.
Video
If a result is easier to see than explain, I may use a few phone clips or screen recordings. Not every project needs a video.
