Adventures in Prototyping ClimbHigh.AI Platform (CH.AIP0)
-
I joined Practicing Musician S.P.C. January 2024. This lead to building new infrastructure, which lead to expanding the possibilities of the EdTech platform, which then lead to the CEO and others realizing the potential of what would be ClimbHigh.AI...

Light Mode vs. Dark Mode: Energy & Creativity vs Focus & Productivity? (And oh yes, eye strain)
-
As with most things, context, use case, etc. makes for different pros and cons for different goals and circumstances. Not surprisingly, the same is true for "Light Mode" versus "Dark Mode".

Generational Cycles in Technology
-
Once again I caught myself mumbling "what once was old is new again" during yet another webinar on cloud computing, software development approaches, the degradation of the opensource communities, etc. Here are some thoughts and facts on these topics.

DGPUNET: Building a Distributed GPU Cluster When Cloud Providers Fall Short
-
I've been building distributed computing systems since the 1990s - Beowulf clusters, IRC bot networks, custom infrastructure cobbled together from commodity hardware. The principle has always been the same: when you can't afford enterprise solutions, you build your own from what's available.

AI Journey 1977-2025: Part 5 of 5 - SIIMPAF - Four Decades of Technology Lessons in One System
-
This is Part 5 of a 5-part series documenting the technical evolution from early introduction to role-playing gaming in 1977 and hobby programming in 1979 to modern distributed GPU computing and self-hosted Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
The series traces patterns that emerged over four decades and shows how they apply to current challenges in AI development and computational independence.
This final part brings together four decades of lessons in DGPUNET's, AILCPH's, & SIIMPAF's architecture, explaining how patterns from 1979 remain relevant in 2025.
