That process will create smoke, not always visible. However, you can definitely still smell it, and your body won&rsquo;t enjoy it either, depending on the material.</p> /posts/welcome/ Wed, 25 Feb 2026 20:30:00 -0500 /posts/welcome/ <h1 id="welcome">Welcome</h1> <p>Thanks for stumbling across my corner of the internet.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;re seeing this, there&rsquo;s probably not much here yet, but stay tuned.</p> <p>As time goes on, I plan to write about my various personal projects.</p> <p>Some things you can expect to see me write about at some point</p> <ul> <li>My homelab</li> <li>3D Printing</li> <li>Amateur Radio</li> <li>Live show tech (audio, video, lighting)</li> <li>Drones</li> <li>Any other little project I find myself in</li> </ul> <p>Subscribe to the RSS feed to get quick updates.
