Thanks Taylor!
That’s a really neat robot you’ve built. I’ve seen some articles about precision weeding that can reduce herbicide use in industrial farms, is that what you will use the computer vision component for? What are your thoughts on addressing irrigation, pesticides, and fertilizer? 

I like gardening, but am currently much more low tech (and struggling with irrigation this year — my tomatoes basically melted in the heat).

Hi Eric and welcome!

I am working on open source food infrastructure:

I also built an off road rover which I am using to learn computer vision:

For fun I do 3D printing, circuit board design, and python. All the same stuff I do for work. Oh and I produce youtube videos.

I will be trying to get to the Omni more often in the coming months, though I've found I was not as ready to socialize as I thought. But I hope I see you there in the future!

That would be fun!

Yeah! Let me know if you want to deactivate Comcast and switch to penpal’ing SD cards through the USPS like a local El Paquete Semanal.

In my free time I've been working on a DIY kitchen remodel and brush clearing (for fire season). I'm interested in federated computers/networks, sneakernets, multi-user computing/sandboxing, data analytics, climate change, energy & water infra, prescribed burns, and renewable energy. Currently reading "Fall, or: Dodge in Hell".
