Building Interactive Trainers From My Audiobook Library I listen to a considerable number of business and leadership audiobooks, yet retain very little of their content a month later. Listening is passive; useful frameworks blur together with time; and “I read that one” readily becomes “I think I read that one.” I wanted the retention without replaying seven hours merely to recover the one idea I needed. I therefore built a compact production process that converts an audiobook into an interactive trainer, in which each concept and example becomes a card supporting three modes: Browse, Flashcards, and Quiz.

Always-On SDR: Building a Multi-Band Radio Intelligence Platform on Kubernetes I have been quietly building something i am pretty excited about. The idea started simple enough: i wanted a permanent, always-on radio monitor for 2m. It grew into something considerably larger.

Setting Up an ADS‑B Flight Tracker with a Cheap Antenna on Kubernetes (RKE2 and ArgoCD) This is the Kubernetes version of my earlier Docker‑based ADS‑B guide. In this setup, everything is defined in YAML and deployed via ArgoCD, and changes are tracked in Git and synced automatically to the cluster. Access is handled through an NGINX Ingress with TLS from cert‑manager, which is how I publish the ADS‑B UI at adsb.w3rdw.radio. If you’re comfortable editing YAML and committing to Git, you’ll feel right at home. ...
