Big W: A Family Tradition www.bigwengineering.com
Big W: A Family Tradition A quick look into where we came from and what inspires us to do what it takes to build a solid reputation. Big W Engineering Solutions · bigwengineering.com [1] I first met Adam in college, he seemed like quite a character on the outside, but was always quite smart and often leaned towards realistic solutions to problems rather than over complicating things. He was part of the SAE Formula car, well known for taking a simple problem and trying to turn it into a real formula one carbon fiber solution. I remember a period where he was a fan of old world blacksmithing as they would say at the time. He even got a few very simple and light parts on the car that were easy to make unlike the carbon fiber alternatives. By the time I was there he was more of a leader and did not do a lot of design on any whole system, but would take out class projects for a component or help with some hard problems. This company feels like it is a great extension of who he was a that time, with about 15 years of professional experience tacked on.

zmk two hand hold down

I don’t know about you, but I don’t re-flash my keyboard enough to ever remember where I put the bootloader. Sometimes its the last thing I think about in a refactor and I end up cornering myself into a place where I cant get into that layer anymore. I’ve started putting hardware switches on my newer builds, but some older builds don’t have a hardware one, so it requires disassembly and jumping the microcontroller. Even when I have one though, I gotta flip my board over and its annoying sometimes, so I prefer to have a keystroke for it. Two Hand hold down # [1] What I’ve landed on recently is the idea of a two hand hold down combo for the bootloader. These combos are ones that there is no way I can hit without picking my hands up from their normal homerow position and pressing four keys simultaneously with pointer and thumbs. Here are some example layouts from keymap-editor [2] [3] 40% layout - similar to corne [4] Here it is on my Son’s 3x5 macropad [5] Here it is on my 3x...

Why Make a Website in 2025

Inspired by Jim [1] and Dave [2] It’s Fun # [3] If it’s not something that you enjoy, you might as well move on there are far better ways to spend your time in 2025. Only the weirdos read this shit anymore, the masses have long moved on to curated social media feeds, and on to chatting with llms. I enjoy spending some time in the digital garden every once in awhile tweaking templates, creating markata [4] plugins to do interesting things. I enjoy expressing my thoughts, or at least shouting them into the ether. I’ll be the first to admit that I often go to an llm for first pass at many things that I could look up in a guide or 😲 the docs. I enjoy reading others # [5] This year I have made extra effort to add more and more people into my Reader [6]. I enjoy reading content from people I chose to follow and can remove whenever I want. I enjoy reading actual human thoughts and not ai generated content all day. I even will create Thoughts [7] based on these posts that I find inter...
