Off Duty

Everything that isn't the cockpit.

Ranked lists of what I recommend, plus the occasional dispatch on 3D printing, the robotics team I still coach, long drives, and books finished. Lower stakes, same curiosity.

Favorites

Ranked lists I update over time. Each one earns its own page.

• Movies worth your time →

  A ranked list of films that hold up. Arrival, Interstellar, Moneyball, Oppenheimer, Whiplash, and a respectable five more. The through-line: people being really good at things and craft that rewards attention over spectacle.

• TV worth your time →

  Succession, Severance, The Expanse, Dark, The Wire, and five under-the-radar shows most people have never watched. Plus the prestige heavyweights I bounce off so you can calibrate my taste against yours.

• Books worth your time

  Coming next.

• Podcasts worth your time

  After that.

Dispatches

Shorter one-offs — trips, builds, the occasional family note.

Nothing yet. I'll add them as they happen.
