Human Systems with Oddly Robbie

Still Turning the Dial

Episode Description from the Publisher

From a shag carpet in Montana to a light bulb in Spain, I’m following a curiosity that never quite switched off. In this episode of Oddly Robbie, I look back at listening to distant voices on shortwave radio, repairing Radio Shack’s broken returns, and exploring the shop computers. That same urge to understand how things work now finds a home in Guardian, the personal AI system I’m building around my own life. Along the way: a robot elbow worth getting distracted by, a chair for curiosity at technology meetups, and the surprisingly satisfying achievement of switching on one light. I’m still turning the dial. There’s more to find out. More observations, essays, and unexpected connections on the blog: OddlyRobbie.eu
