I try to keep a pretty light every day carry, but it never works out, keyfobs and headphone cases end up causing more bulk than I’d like, but My EDC is no where near the bulk I had as a kid with my cargo pants decked out with everything I could possibly need.

I hold no attachment to anything in my EDC. Nothing on my person has sentimental value. Anything I carry can be lost, stolen, or destroyed at any point in time. I pick things of sufficient usable, utilitarian, quality sufficient to work. No extra fluff.

Ai is a tool I use a lot for code generation, research, image generation, and debugging. The words I publish on this site are my own unless explicitly stated from the top. There’s only one or two posts in this category.

The core of what this blog is, is my thoughts ideas, sharing experiences. The words are the important part. They are not perfect, I often do not spell or grammer check, and what is here is from a flow state of writing and very often not refactored.

I’m working on replacing my usage of google inline search apps with real apps, these are ones that I create and host on my own homelab. The first three that I created are mostly chatgpt based, with a bit of hand edit after the fact, uploaded to minio and become an app on my k8s-pages

I’ve been posting on this site since 2016, when layoffs were rolling through the company I worked for at the time. Starting a personal blog and a pile of side projects felt like one of the best things I could do for my resume, so off I went. This site is built on markata, more about that in the /colophon.

The old version of this page embedded static SVGs from my Python Markata build. Those files are gone in the markata-go site, so this page now renders the yearly...

This page is meant to be simple view into what is happening in my life right now. Inspired by @NowNowNow. and Derek Sivers.

Colophon a page that describes how the site is made, with what tools, supporting what technologies

All posts on this site are written by Waylon Walker, the typical content has changed and evolved over time. I go back and make a few corrections, but for the most part things stay pretty much as they were published originally.

This post is a work in progress.

Markata is the static site generator that I created to build my website about this site. I built it for me and I enjoy using it. I know everying it can do and I can extend it to do more easily. I have set it up for some friends to also use it and am proud that it helps them publish their content.

It’s a meme to create your own static site generator to make your website. Yes its funny, I don’t recommend it if your not ready for the level of work that comes with it, but at the end of the day it’s very...

I have several feeds that you can consume my content with. Many posts will cross between them, so if you would like to follow a certain stream of content in your rss reader thats what this is for. This one might feel like it has some extra noise with multiple posts per day, including starts, and instagram style posts, for a bit less look at the [[ main ]] feed.

This is a feed of everything that I have published on my site to date including Posts tagged: blog, [[ til ]], April 2, 2024 1 min read

These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don’t have a link. These are dual published off of my thoughts.waylonwalker.com site. It’s a fully dynamically rendered site 2000’s style. Posts are stored in a database and instantly available. Almost all of the posts were written in a small <textarea> field within a chrome extension that I built for it.

These posts are intended to in two ways. One, link building for the author. I hope that I give the people helping me out along the way just a little bit of a boost. Two, they serve as a permanant commented bookmark for me to search, and come back to later when I have forgotten where I have seen something.

When I’m not wrangling data pipeline platforms or building web platforms, you’ll find me gaming with my kids, making art, or skating around the neighborhood. Reliving my mechanical engineering days with my 3d printer. Winding down at the end of the day binge-watching Big Bang Theory with my wife.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer who specializes in data pipelines and Python-based web platforms. I help teams turn messy data into reliable systems that actually work.
