Poking Systems: Simulation, analysis, and the judgement that makes the numbers mean something.
Material Science: Metals, Polymers, glass, and what materials actually do when they are poked
Tools: Free, open-source tools, and long-form documentation of how they work inside
Being Human: How we evolved, how we behave, and why that shapes every engineering judgement we make
Musings: Shorter pieces, thinking out loud.
Holistic Engineering: Why understanding beats compliance, and how that changes the way this material is written
Manufacturing Science Mold filling, die casting, and the processes that decide whether a design survives production.
What's New
A diverse group of engineers and designers in a meeting room, listening to a man in a blue polo with 'Holistic Analyst' written on it, who is explaining casting failure on a whiteboard. The whiteboard shows sketches and notes about casting porosity, venting, fill ratio, and related topics. The table holds engineering books, a laptop, a tablet displaying a simulation, metal parts, and a plush brain mascot holding markers and a notebook.
