  • happy new year! a retrospective

    happy new year to my fellow "pubizens". it has been 3 years since i've stepped into this cozy pub for the first time.

    ~bartender, can i have a vodka/sprite neat please? just a good time to reflect.

    i am glad for the first time i walked into the pub for the first time. i have made some good new community friends, and a fun place to write about whatever is on my mind at the moment. i am always happy to throw my thoughts out there and see what folks are thinking.

    since the last time i stepped into the pub, i have been working on some projects, between software, music, and homesteading stuff. each of these has been going well, i am happy to report. all of this while working on my 'digital garden' (aka my wiki) and porting my main website over to gemini.

  • Seeed Studio's Tiny XIAO Dev Board Family Goes Dual-Band, with the New Wi-Fi 6 XIAO ESP32-C5

    Seeed Studio has launched another new entry in its growing XIAO family of tiny development boards — and it's the first to boast dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, alongside Bluetooth 5 Low Energy (BLE) and IEEE 802.15.4 with Zigbee and Thread support, thanks to an Espressif ESP32-C5 at its heart.

    "The Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-C5 [is] a thumb-sized development board that brings modern dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity to the XIAO ecosystem," says Seeed's Josie Wu of the company's latest development board design. "Powered by Espressif's ESP32-C5 chip, it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 in an ultra-compact form factor, making reliable wireless connectivity achievable for real-world IoT [Internet of Things] applications."
