Supporting This Effort

If you find value in the content here, one way to support this workshop is through the Amazon affiliate links below. These are products I've personally used and would genuinely recommend—they're not always related to the blog topics, but they're tools, books, or items that have been helpful to me.

When you purchase through these links, Amazon provides a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the site running and supports the time I put into writing, even if I never publish another post.

I also use these affiliate links as a way to gauge engagement and interest in the content. Since they're tucked away here on the contact page, when someone clicks through, it's a signal that they're genuinely engaged with the work. The products I recommend are generally technology or health-related—things that might actually interest people who get excited about the technical topics covered here.

Recommended Products

• Bulletproof TLS & PKI: Second Edition - Some of my articles are about certificates and things, and the way I think about them. It's no coincidence that I have read this book at least three times now. I highly recommend it for somebody who needs to understand this stuff better than an operations manual at some company that just shows you what to do, not why.

• 65W USB-C GaN Charger - I do lots of projects, and they're all USB-powered these days. I frequently need to plug in something in the house, barn, garage, or when traveling. This unit charges my laptop, phone, runs a Raspberry Pi, and several other things all at once. It hasn't broken yet. I have three of these; they're really great.

• UHS-II SD Card Reader - there's a mini truth table to the world in which you live when using SD card readers. You need to be in the quadrant that says: "Good Card Reader: True - Good SD Card: True" This is the Good SD Card Reader. I loved it saved time hours. In fact, as I work on Raspberry Pi projects, I image SD cards constantly. This has literally saved me hours of time.

• Google Workspace - I use Google Workspace for my personal and family email, calendar, and documents. It's a great way to stay organized and collaborate with others. I could use a lot of email and office suites, but Google Workspace is a great way to get running at predictable prices. What's most important is controling your destiny, my email address has not changed since 95' and it's not going to change now that I have a platform that I can trust.
