Hardware &
Alchemy.
Hello, my name is Adi. If you chose to come here, first of all I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to read what's on this page. I'd say this is a collection of things I've learned that are compiled enough to share and I do this in the hopes that you may find them useful, or at least entertaining. If you do choose to read on, I would love to hear your feedback and thoughts—adim@mit.edu
That all being said, this set of 'logs' (if you will) has no specific theme, it's kind of a hodgepodge of things. But I'm an engineer with a camera who rides around on the back of a motorcycle. That's the start, and since everything is an adventure, we will see where this one takes me.
I put the term alchemy in the name because, romantically, science can be magic, and there's a lot of fun to be had in the 'try-it-and-see-what-happens' approach. I guess this is my space for that. Failure is always an option (and it is our greatest teacher).
