A cold shop floor and the sound of broken code The air in my workshop smells like WD-40, cold coffee, and the sharp ozone of a soldering iron that has been left on too long. I have spent thirty years fixing things that other people broke, usually because they thought they could take a shortcut. […]
The smell of burnt transmission fluid in the morning The garage floor is cold and smells like WD-40, old rags, and the sharp bite of metal on metal.

Modern branding feels like that. It is mostly cheap particle board held together with hope and a few shiny pixels. In […]
