In the beginning there was ocean, made in the union of earth and sky. There in a deep cavern gestated two children. The siblings wondered what was around them, and when strong they swam to the surface of their womb. Upon nearing father sky, one sibling nudged the other. The firstborn raised their head above water and opened eyes to see. The younger opened eyes under water and was born blind. Looking up and seeing stars, the elder then looked down and saw ants. The ants made the land and mountains with their bodies. The seeing tried to explain to the blind that the ants were building mountains, but the blind did not understand. The seeing guided the blind on earth, but life on land was difficult for the blind, who only understood life before blindness. From the top of the tallest mountain, the seeing saw every place, and from this elevated terrain came the realization that earth, water, and air combined support life. Through this insight, all creatures for all places were realized. The elder seeing the mountains, valleys, and sky found creatures for them all, while the blind could only think of aquatic life. The seeing noticed no creatures could see well by starlight and asked the blind to make an illuminance for all to see better. The dim light made by the blind was not bright and is today called the moon, while the seeing made the sun. The siblings disagreed over which creatures were better for living where and stole from one another. Inevitably the blind returned to the ocean. Leaving, the blind stumbled, causing great earthquakes and large waves. Occasionally the blind remembered disagreements and troubles from life on land, sending storms to wash the land away, its ants and creatures, making people cold and sick, but the blind could not see where people lived or where animals moved between seasons. Through death and sacrifice, all things were bequeathed to us. Learn more.
Before time and gravity, all was plasma. The plasma spread, cooled, and released photons enough for remaining particles to bond into hydrogen. Our math says it started 14 billion years ago, while the oldest rocks and meteorites we have found in our galaxy formed less than 5 billion years ago. Materials heavier than lithium form within gravitational masses like stars and planets. Any hydrogen and helium made on earth escapes into space because those materials are too lightweight to be kept by earth's gravity.
It is amazing that before sea level rose a hundred meters over the last twenty thousand years, Islas Coronado were connected to land exactly like Point Loma and Mount Soledad.
I like erosion and conformities. Mountains are the shattered remains of plutons and sediments hosting a layer of decaying organic matter and various forms of life. It is awesome that our foundation is constantly shifting, rain and shade patterns above change over time as the land moves beneath us, and our 300,000 years of human history is a story of people moving between places and making sense of their surroundings and experiences using their best but limited vocabulary.
The ground is important to study because some layers wash away easy and others are too hard for plants to grow. Some foundations are strong and a few are associated with wealth.
Build up over time. Do not dig down unless necessary because it is hard. You will undermine your foundation and find things. Sand and debris need removal after storms when they wash downhill, and water is seldom found uphill. Compared to excavating, it is easier to lay new utility pipes on the ground and then add dirt where needed to level grade, and then encase the work with road surface and sidewalk to protect it from trucks and people.
Looking around, there are few natural features. Blocks of old buildings I remember have been leveled and rebuilt as megolith condominiums. These buildings are commonly called five‑over‑ones, but now they often seem to be eight or more storeys tall with basements too. Everyone needs parking. Humans are getting good at materials science. Ten billion people need to go somewhere.
Resting oceanside with seabirds along tidepools, the water is a chilly 65°F / 18°C, okay for fishing, cooling the breeze 76°F / 24°C, perfect for life.Several base end stations are visible at Cabrillo: Concrete bunkers built into Point Loma's hillsides served as base end "observation" stations. From them, soldiers looked for enemy and relayed targeting data by telephone to a plotting room. People spent long monotonous hours scanning for enemy ships, aircraft, or a submarine's periscope.Math could save your life and everyone else's too. Math is certainly useful for video games. Trigonometry aims accurate artillery fire. Two spotters of known separation, each communicate a target's direction to a controller, calculating the two directions to provide accurate zeroing for multiple artillery guns. During the 1940s Pacific War, humans updated information to a 20 second clock. Today, electronics are faster (>6 GHz), and less tiring for human operators, allowing for real‑time weapons ranging and super‑human awareness. Imagine a distributed sensor network, photographic, thermal, electromagnetic, acoustic, hydrophonic, reporting all data observed to specialized computing facilities. Instead of oxygen, calories, sweat, and blood, the expense is electricity and computers, chilled by CRAHs and ethylene glycol loops, fire suppressed with HFC‑227ea and Novec 1230. Now everyone can watch screens from faraway air conditioned offices instead of sitting at the beach.With everything I know and write I would still fight and die

I spent a lot of time on the internet and I learned everything about it. The internet is a boring technology, but internet experts are wanted by organizations that love data. The internet is just an interconnected network. I have lived my life on/off the internet. Sure, the internet is a neat little gizmo, but I feel greater awe for the much more systemically important electric grid.
Layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and Department of Defense TCP/IP conceptual models, with relative placement of a small number of computer networking protocols.
It is fun to think of The Internet Protocol as the skinny waist of communication, but the tech stack has been stuck in its mid-life crisis for decades. Some of the smartest people on the planet cannot figure out how to run modern IPv6 services. GitHub and Node Package Manager are still only available over IPv4 in 2026. Now that the United States government is IPv6 only, more people realize 6 > 4.
Mid-life crisis of the skinny waist of the protocol hourglass by Steve Deering, 1998.
Eventually in tech you decide whether to focus on programming and make code, Windows and support office workers, or Linux and build internet stuff. I wanted to work with Linux because data center machine rooms seemed cool, but actually they are hot and loud.
Technician, administrator, engineer, architect, those are job titles for computer touchers. My work got easier and my freedom increased as I progressed along the route to ::/0.
My primary gadget is my iPhone 16 Pro but I also work by Apple M4. I can do a lot of work by phone: email, chat, meetings, work apps, some tasks, VPN, SSH, MFA, but I prefer using my laptop for some things, and other things can only be done from the correct location.
Serious: Blame the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) requirements.
There is an ancient AT&T proverb: Check the physical layer first. Is link up? Are you receiving light? Are frame counters incrementing? Is an address learned? At layer one, if you have optical receive signal and transmit power on both sides of good media but no layer two frames counted on either side, set FEC and negotiation.
Check ARP for IPv4 neighbor discovery and ND for IPv6. Check LLDP. Verify LAN continuity and root. At layer two, traffic for unknown destinations is broadcast to all.
Check RIB updates and imported prefixes. At layer three, traffic addressed for a destination with no known route is dropped. OSPF, IS‑IS, BGP, and other protocols need consistent MTU. LDP will negotiate MTU between connected MPLS neighbors.
If you can ICMP ping something by its address or DNS name but its services are not working, find your problem on layer four or back on two or three at MTU. You can verify path MTU by sending pings of certain size with -Ds 8972 on macOS and on Linux with -M do -s 8972

InfiniBand is easy and better than other RDMA alternatives, and faster than TCP/IP, but Nvidia grows more evil as its NVDA stock price climbs higher. Ultra Ethernet sounds cool.
It takes the world to build a computer. Most tin is mined from China, Myanmar, and Indonesia. Half of all tin is used to solder electronic components together, and a small amount is burned to produce the light that transfers microchip designs onto silicon wafers refined from quartz mined from North Carolina. The machines that perform the work are built in the Netherlands. Half of their cost is lenses and mirrors from Germany, while their light producing device comes from San Diego. Light is made by streaming molten tin bits into a hydrogen vacuum and shooting the tin with lasers to excite it into plasma, which while cooling releases 13.5nm ultraviolet radiation, stannane gas, and tin dust. The 13.5nm photons are collected and directed by the mirrors to cast microscopic circuit designs onto silicon wafer film sheets that are hardened by lasers, cleaned of unneeded material, and stacked, producing three dimensional microchips through processes pioneered in the United States, the Netherlands, Japan, and South Korea.
Through miniaturization of circuitry, we have made electronics faster and more power efficient. Sometimes I wonder into which landfill all the old computers go, or if they are sailed out to sea and dumped there.
It is great interfacing with federal agents through human‑to‑human serial ports.

Someone needs to go to the radio site to fix it. The dark looking areas are purple blooming lilacs. In 1500 CE, this mountain was namesake of my area. It was the biggest thing close to the bays. People still look at it now and then. There are some trees at the top. Everything gets renamed.Today my town's namesakes are a dense downtown, older historic areas, suburban sprawl, and many bays. People come from all around to visit during summer and comment about the enjoyable cloudy weather. The summer clouds fall as rain in the Great Basin and we enjoy them again all next year. Our thanks go out to the Colorado River, the All‑American Canal, and the Point Loma Ocean Outfall sewer pipe.There seems to be international struggle. The border was arbitrarily set at one marine league, 3 nautical miles, 3.452 miles, or 5.556 kilometers, south of the big bay. Land beyond the wall was Loma Estรฉril until U.S. alcohol prohibition and Mexican revolution. Today we are 5 million people.You can still go, but know:
you are being watched,
you are being heard,
you will be asked to leave,
you will be arrested if you stay,
you are on an active military base.
The status is used to avoid environmental law.
Now on military land the wall is being extended through federally known indigenous culture sites and blocking international water drainages, requiring seasonal repair after rainstorms. I learned barbed wire comes wrapped in plastic because the hills are covered in abandoned plastic wrap.Life on the grid offers amenities and services. 24/7 electricity, gas, water, sewer, telecom, 10 minute emergency response, coyotes, rabbits, raccoons, 40 minute food delivery, crows, pigeons, parrots, next-day homegoods, weekly trash pickup, and daily certainty, streamlined.Life off the grid offers quiet and focus, jays, woodpeckers, hawks, eagles, coyotes, laurels, sages, ferns, oaks, pines, sycamores… not simpler, maybe harder, just a different schedule; well, septic, junk; severe wind, hard rain, cold nights; insistence to live this way sometimes regardless; reminders about why people live on the grid; proof to ourselves we could do without it; the ability and reason to go back home; maybe stopping and talking more; doing it a little more yourself; lots of good camp sites.
Every day is camping. All sites are different. For nine months of the year, outside is great. Camping a single night feels like practicing setting up and tearing down camp, so I prefer two or more nights somewhere, giving me a day or more to be wherever I want to be. Most people camp weekends and leave Sunday morning, making Sundays and weekdays great for quieter camping. I like camping outside the city where I can no longer hear the sound of rolling car tires. It is harder to escape the sound of airliners. This is my camping checklist:
…with an exterior footprint and an interior blanket, but also I have a full size inflatable air mattress that fits in both tents for family who prefer sleeping off the ground.
Flexlite chair, sleeping bag, headlamp, scarf, beanie, jacket, shade hat, sunglasses, a couple socks, some toiletries…
If bikepacking, which happens much less these days but I hope to return to it someday, you will see my bike covered in two to four stuffed Ortlieb panniers, using only one can make you unbalanced.
Bring couscous, dehydrated or canned beans, oatmeal, tortillas, avocados, dry snacks like nutrition bars or chips, and fill the water jug at home or the camp site.
If I put hot coffee in a Yeti thermos, it stays warm for a day, but I can also just use instant coffee and some stove heated water. Today I avoid caffeine since it seems unnecessary.
California black oak is my favorite firewood. Some camps sell wood. Grocery store logs are often soft woods that burn fast and produce little heat, while hard woods burn long and hot with lasting coals.
The ground swells when saturated with water and shrinks when dry. That is why sidewalks shift and building cracks form. The wicking removal of water from the ground through gravity springs and soil aeration provides habitat for life like bacteria and bugs, who prepare the soil for microrhizzal fungi and plant root hyphae to convert ground minerals, nutrients, and moisture into shade and food. When rain gutters deposit rain immediately beside a structure, the soil outside exposed to wind and light dries faster than the soil beneath, causing uneven foundation settling and collapse.
I wonder where the surface rocks went and how many feet down I must dig to find rocks again. Everything was placed by someone. It was all built up and everything is everywhere the same. People are building up their square property lots, realigning the curbs and walls over time. Some lots are good coffee shops, and others are nice houses with cool gardens. The interstate highway system connects us with opportunities and protects us from coyotes.
The roads and rail lines lead directly to military bases, and the reservoirs and freeways were built on top of towns. There was population collapse but now the farms beside the road have become nice condos. Are people the crop?
There is a constant sound of rolling car tires. Sirens, horns, and dog barks are common. Airlines and trains are every few minutes. Buses are every 7–15 minutes, weekends 30. Emergency helicopter flights occur every hour. Military flights are mostly during the day. Cruiselines are seasonal but often enough. Cemeteries, jails, landfills, and reservoirs are full. Rocket launches at sunset look like comets. NASSCO makes fumes, fires, and explosions. NAVWAR building air quality gives cancer. Visiting Miramar's mima mounds is difficult. Military bases are our nature reserves. Everything else was paved over. We need to build more homes.
The Roosevelt Reservation is militarized. Polleros abandon people in desert canyons without shelter, food, or water, necessitating Border Patrol provide aid. Some people with unclear backgrounds are transported for detention in third countries. The easiest paths to American residency are being sponsored by American family or purchasing business that can employ you, your family, friends, and neighbors. Asylum refugee prison conditions are terrible. Air conditioning, 50°F / 10°C to avoid bad smells, a metallic thermal blanket, always potatoes, months or years of waiting in a group cage, would it not be easier to give up and go home? They want you to think America is misery. They want you to leave disgusted and to tell others how bad it is. Bless water drops and Friends.
I believe in linguistic relativity. The more languages you know, the more ways you can think, and the more interpretations of life you can consider. I was offered to learn a lot of languages in school, and I accepted most offers for at least 101 introduction. Nonetheless you can tell by the words written on this website that I mostly think in American English.

1 month: At a month old you were smiling and everyone enjoyed your personality. You called for help whenever you needed it. You made different cries for different needs.
6 months: By sixth months you were blabbering and crawling everywhere. Your vocabulary was growing and sometimes you could be understood. You learned hand signs to express yourself more clearly.
12 months: After a year you were running with confidence and responding to conversation. Your words were still forming but you were becoming more understood.
13 months: At thirteen months you hit your head on things and got hurt sometimes. You were growing. You knew words but you could not say them well yet. You could fetch things.
14 months: By fourteen months you were saying more words and your pronunciation was more clear, but still you could not yet make all sounds with your voice.
18 months: Around eighteen months you were issuing two word commands. You would hear a word you liked and practice saying it throughout the day.
20 months: After twenty months you started to try speaking in complete three concept subject‑verb‑object sentences. You had opinions to express and something to say about everything. You were putting your shoes on without help. You could run fast, and you were reaching to turn door handles.
I like sentences with four words or less and I prefer synonyms with the fewest syllables unless longer words sound better. I also advocate for the removal of adverbs and adjectives from writing (remove descriptive words ending in –ly) and avoiding parentheses and other math symbols. If you want to know how someone is trying to shape your thinking, notice the adverbs and adjectives they use. I dislike orphans, contractions, and apostrophes. I do not like writing them, but I do not mind reading them sometimes.

'Enyaa the sun is the brightest and most important object in the sky 'Emaay.
Hellyaa the moon is the second brightest object in the sky, especially during the full moon but not when Hellyaach Wehay. The monthly waxing and waning of the moon affects the energies of animals, plants, and sea.
