Added three giants to the shelf: Charles Darwin, Carl Sagan, and Alan Turing.

First time seeing an ad for open-source AI models, and it's at an airport in Indonesia, interesting.. @Alibaba_Qwen.

Woke up to this and genuinely thought it was a spam notification from @nytimes for a second 😅

Hahaha.. at least I had the chance to try it 😅

Finally own a copy 😊

First time using AK platform, still using 5.56 though.

Range session this Saturday morning. Groupings were not bad at all.

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough. A true gift to humanity. I feel lucky to have grown up with your voice guiding me to understand more about our home, Earth.

Interesting coincidence: I'm reading two books at the same time, and both mention Knight Capital as a case study in what not to do. One emphasizes developer experience. The other frames it as the natural result of writing code without first defining what "correct" means.

I still use Apple Watch as my daily driver since 2016 because some of its features are genuinely useful to me. But the Casio GW-BX5600 represents the kind of reliability I value: it charges from light, not just direct sunlight, syncs time automatically via both Multi Band 6 and Bluetooth, has the durable G-SHOCK build, and uses an MIP LCD that's easy to read from many angles. As an engineer, I care a lot about time accuracy and efficiency, and this watch nails both.

Finally 🙂

And my wife asked me about this.

Back in April 2013, I was a young developer who joined a 2-day hackathon in Jakarta with an idea that felt far too ambitious to finish. I left as a NASA International Space Apps Challenge Champion. 🏆 The project was called OpenTEC. TEC stands for "Total Electron Content". The idea was to explore whether an earthquake prediction system could be built using Arduino, a GPS receiver, and Professor Kosuke Heki's ionospheric precursor theory, the hypothesis that the Earth's ionosphere may show measurable anomalies before major earthquakes. At the time, I did not finish it. The hackathon ended. Life moved on. But that unfinished prototype never really left my mind. For 13 years, OpenTEC stayed somewhere in the background of my thoughts. Then Artemis II launched 🚀 and something in me shifted. Watching that rocket leave Earth made me ask myself: what exactly am I waiting for? Today, with open-source hardware, far better GPS data, and much stronger ML models, it feels worth revisiting this old idea seriously. Because if there is even a small chance that better detection could help provide earlier warning and save lives, then it is worth exploring. To everyone who was in that room in Jakarta in 2013, thank you. You were the spark.
