Code Cookbook: Ideal Time

Welcome to the Code Cookbook newsletter, an offshoot from my other newsletters that focuses on coding, and recently agentic coding, aka vibe coding. It can be a sensational topic- someone who has no idea how to code or even how to deploy anything can prompt their tools of choice to

New Product Launch - The Air Kit 25

I'm excited to share with you a new commercial offering - the Air Kit 25. The Air Kit has a simple premise- the existing cases out there are either too small for some gear, or way too big. The Air Kit 25 fits in the middle with 8U

Recovery Kit 2 Update: (Shargeek 140 Battery)

This is a quick update- I've included below the design file updates for the Recovery Kit 2B which uses the smaller battery. The Raspberry Pi 5 is still too hungry for this smaller battery, so this build is better for a Pi3 or Pi4. The original Recovery Kit

Residential Energy, Personal Net-Zero, and the Economics No One Talks About

Energy self-reliance is frequently categorized as a philosophical or political position and sometimes as a one-size-fits-all solution to the energy issues we face. After all, even the "we" here is only meaningful for action if we're talking about specific situations. While I can't speak
