Technical writing and release notes on sovereign AI, local infrastructure, cybersecurity, communications, and the engineering behind Project Kaizen.
Release notes for the parts of Kaizen that are now easier to verify: Communications Hub, Max SMS, voice-call alerts, reminders, Beacon workflows, delivery receipts, dashboard visibility, and public/private AI boundaries.
Read Article →AI is not a doctor, coach, or dietitian. Used well, it can be the support layer that keeps your goals, logs, trends, and care-team questions organized between appointments.
Read Article →Intelligence is transient. Context is persistent. One MCP connector that injects the same context into every cloud AI at once — the thinking, the use case, and why a shared context layer has to be built defensively.
Read Article →Local Git remains the source of truth. Read-only ingest packs fresh context. OAuth MCP exposes it safely to AI clients. No stale chat memory. No drifting Markdown skills.
Read Article →On being called weird for building things, sharing publicly, and seeing what's coming before the room catches up. The weird ones were never wrong. They were just early.
Read Article →Roku Live TV on Emby + Apple Silicon was broken. Every forum said give up. We found the root cause, built a wrapper-based fix, tested it end-to-end, and open sourced it.
Read Article →Building production-grade security around a 19-container Mailcow Docker stack on peered infrastructure. Custom firewall, kernel hardening, automated auditing, off-box monitoring. From zero to a 94/100 automated security audit score.
Read Article →Is Apple sitting on the most important AI infrastructure play that nobody's talking about? Four Mac Studios. 2TB unified memory. 600 watts. The math is changing.
Read Article →Most people use large language models to generate text. I built one that locks doors, arms alarms, adjusts thermostats, and reasons about who just pulled into the driveway.
Read Article →In 1998, I co-founded a cybersecurity company called INTRAC.NET. Nearly three decades later, the same question drives me: how does every layer of a system talk to every other layer? The answer now fits in a rack in my closet.
