In the past month, I came to the discovery that my BitGrid project couldn't meet it's goal of being more power efficient than TPUs, but it took years to figure that out. It could be a quite efficient FPGA like compute fabric, but that's not something I'm super interested in right now.

I've helped a friend get an IFR/Aeroflex/Marconi 2947A Communications Analyzer working, and am now in the process of using Ghidra to disassemble the firmware that runs on the main CPU. (There are several, including a 68000 based cellular option). I think of it as a million piece jigsaw puzzle.

On the way to Vintage Computer Fest, MidWest, my car became the middle of a 5 car sandwich. We all walked away, thanks to modern crumple zones and restraint systems. So, the car is a total loss, now I'm filing forms, and will be looking for a replacement car.
