The Circuit Works. I Just Don't Know Why.
On autism, electronics, and why I sometimes need to rebuild a perfectly good schematic just to understand it.

Thinking in Geodes: Autism, Learning, and the Art of Taking Things Apart
I have spent much of my life trying to understand things that other people seem to understand almost instinctively. Not because I cannot grasp complicated ideas, but because the way those ideas are usually explained often makes absolutely no sense to me. Eventually, I stopped trying to learn everything the way I was supposed to and started building my own way of understanding the world. It involves electronics, little conceptual building blocks, and an increasingly unreasonable desire to take everything apart.

In Our Own Image: Human Intent at Machine Scale
I do not think AI is the thing we are actually angry at. I think we are angry at what people are choosing to do with it, and then blaming the software because that is easier than staring at the incentives, institutions, and decisions behind the mess. Machine learning can help us detect disease, extend human creativity, search enormous scientific spaces, and give individuals capabilities that once required entire teams. It can also flood the internet with garbage, displace workers, amplify propaganda, and make terrible ideas scale faster than ever. The machine did not pick either path. We did.

There Are Only Four Star Wars Movies, and One of Them Is the Holiday Special
I was sitting here with a cold beer, scrolling YouTube, when the algorithm decided I needed to know that Star Wars: Episode II is apparently a “sleeper masterpiece.” I’m sure somebody made a thoughtful, well-edited video about that. I’m also sure I’m not watching it tonight.

Music Travels Further Than We Do
Music is the language I reach for when ordinary words feel too small. This essay is about using songs as emotional shorthand, building fictional worlds to carry real feelings, and why improvisation on stage can sometimes say more than conversation ever could.
