My name is Tony.. I guess that may be obvious.
This site’s a bit of a mess — which makes it pretty accurate. It’s where I dump projects, experiments, things I’ve built, things I’ve broken, and whatever I’m learning next.
I’ve spent my whole career in print and design, but I’ve never been content just getting things to work. I want to know how and why they work — and what happens when they don’t. That mindset bleeds into everything I do: scripting automation, rebuilding hardware, wiring up weird ideas, or figuring out how to keep some janky setup alive just a little longer.
I’ve always been resourceful because I had to be. I’ve fixed my own cars, built furniture and speakers, and reverse-engineered more than a few broken things just to see if I could make them better. I like working with my hands as much as I like working with tech — maybe more.
I’ve also got a family, a full-time job, and a brain that never really sits still. That probably explains the range of stuff you’ll find here. It’s not all computers. Some of it’s music-related. Some of it’s dusty old projects. Some of it’s just thoughts on how to hang drywall without losing your mind.
If you’re here, you probably already get it. I live somewhere between art, tech, and chaos. This site is where it all collides.
