A few summers ago, I watched news coverage of a wildfire tearing through a part of California and had a nagging thought: I wonder how close any of my friends are to these fires. That gap between “disaster happening somewhere” and “disaster happening to someone I care about” is the reason I built Lighthouse. It’s a single-page map that plants a small flag at the home of every person in my contacts…
Designed and printed a keychain clip for the Trek Flare Lights, and then the Garmin Varia, that allows you to easily keep it on your keychain when you’re not with your bike. Trek Light Version: — Downloads Trek Flare 3D Print File - Makerworld Link Garmin Varia 3D Print File - Makerworld Link
Oh, the places we’ll go! A couple of months ago, I had an idea to bring a charcuterie “to-go” box to a bike-and-coffee social ride (Scrappy Hour). I’d once seen a Washington MTB outfitter offering something they called “Snackouts” — a Milwaukee Tool Packout Low-Profile Compact Organizer filled with trail snacks like beef jerky, nuts, and trail mix. I loved the concept, but I thought it could go…
About seven years ago, close friends, Nick & Mel’s, beloved dog, Rex, passed away. He wasn’t just my friend’s companion — he was one of my favorite dogs, too. Not long after, Nick asked if I would create a piece of art to honor Rex’s memory. I happily agreed. For months, I brainstormed ideas. Some felt uninspired, while one concept stood out — but it was beyond my style with a paintbrush. I kept…
I am not sure why this isnt more standard in ebikes as good battery hygiene is the same as it would be for any EV. Never-the-less, I wanted to bring the same experience that I have with my connected car to the e-bike. Features like: 1) Check on charge status from phone’s Lock Screen 2) Set the charge limit to 80% to better extend the life of the bike battery 3) Set charge times 4) Drop charge down…
A Backseat Tablet Holder 3D Print For those with kiddos, I thought I’d share the print file for a simple hanger for the backseat of the Rivian to hold one of the more popular kids iPad/Tablet cases. There is a cutout in the hanger arm so the USB-C is accessable as well as the hanger arm is extended slightly to allow you to wrap the excess cable around. There is a small gap in back that where the…
Started a project a couple of months ago and this weekend it’s finally in a working Beta. This is Trailpost , a conversational interface connection to check on trail conditions (Powered by Trailforks ). Currently it works with Google Assistant, but the end goal is having it running on Alexa in time to run it in a Rivian (delivery date: April-June). No real rocket science here, it’s a fairly…
We’ve been constantly in search of mobility soltuions that allow us to be a one car family. For backgoround, during the pandemic I shed my Subaru; with work at home and schools closing (for our 6yr old) the transition to one car was easy. When we were asked to start coming back into the office, school and extracurricular activities started spinning back up we definitely started feeling the pains…

Finally, after years (file creation date says September 24, 2014) this project is complete. A couple years ago I got obsessed with designing Google Streetview over famous classic paintings. Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks seemed a pretty easy early choice. I tried some other classics of Paris streets although far too often the viewpoint was understandably painted from the sidewalk; but Hopper’s looks a…
