Leaf-shaped xiphos, 24-inch blade, bronze construction. The backup weapon when the dory breaks. Designed for the crush of close combat where the spear is too long. I used mine at Thermopylae after my spear shattered on the second day.

Leonidas I

66-inch two-handed claymore, the weapon of the Scottish Highlands. Designed for sweeping cuts that clear a path through armored men. My own claymore was reportedly taller than most men. The reach advantage against sword-and-shield is decisive if you have the strength.

William Wallace

A box of precision brass gears, cams, shafts, and springs. The same components I designed for the Analytical Engine. Build a clock, a music box, or a mechanical calculator. Or redesign them three times and never finish. Either way, the gears are beautiful.

A print of one of my rats. Signed. Or is it? That's the question with everything I make. Authentication in the art world is a racket. This print is real if you believe it's real. Isn't that how all art works? Comes with a certificate of ambiguity.

Packets, routing, TCP handshakes, DNS resolution. I designed TCP/IP and I'll explain it with diagrams and a glass of wine. You'll never look at a loading spinner the same way again.

My amateur red blend. It's not great. It's decent. The internet is better. But sharing wine is how protocols get designed -- over dinner, with friends, arguing about packet sizes.
