Hello world!

There. With that out of the way, hi! I'm Logan, and the thumbnail is my cat Buddy. I created this site to learn a new webdev framework, Next.js, and to finally have a place to write blog posts and share more about my projects. I also have a few ideas for how to make it a bit more interactive and fun.

What's Next?

(Pun intended.)

I plan to share most of my projects soon, including previously unshared ones. With that I will hopefully be open-sourcing more of my work and sharing more about my research. I also would like to make the project page formatting more unique, with a sidebar with more details such as the tech stack, individual/with others, etc.

The blog will get a few more posts in the next few weeks, including a write-up of how to get started with car hacking and playing with the CAN bus. I may also share my experience with IoT devices and cellular connections, but that may be later with the release of my remote monitoring/control project for my car. Still looking for a better (while still cheap) solution for dual CAN bus and GMLAN as currently I can only do one or the other.

A few interactive features I want to add include:

• A public whiteboard
• A few games
• My chess AI from freshman year of college (rewritten in JavaScript), and along with it chess (maybe train an AI off my games? That could be fun, but make it a bit too easy for my opponents to train...)
• Achievement system (credit to Maisy for the idea)
• Silly Easter eggs (or are there already some? 👀)

Thanks for Visiting!
