Hello, I’m Daniel. I’m a Navy veteran and retired site reliability engineer who traded datacenters and corporate land for the unpredictability of life at sea. These days I live aboard a Pearson 36-2 sailboat. Like all sailboats it’s a project, but this one leans more toward “project” than “boat.” My focus is on getting it ready for long-term cruising.

• Sailboat and travel notes: projects, living aboard, cruising, and travel
• Technical forays: DIY electronics, systems, computers, infrastructure, 3D printing
• Other: commentary, gaming, and whatever else comes up

This site is just a place to keep track of what I’m doing and share the shenanigans along the way.
