Concept
The reason to start. Usually a problem, a curiosity, or some small frontier itch that feels worth chasing.
Good afternoon.
Welcome to the archive. I build systems, gadgets, and experiments that do not always fit neatly into one box.
Projects
20 ideas arranged into working families, each still carrying its own evidence: repo, recency, and whether the status is earned.

Ingredients
Keeping the experiments coherent.
AFUGR can wander a bit, which is mostly the point. But the work still needs a centre of gravity.
Materials
Whatever makes it real. Plastic, metal, cardboard, RLCD panels, code, 3D-printed parts, dead ends, and things I probably should have measured twice.
Behaviour
How it feels in use. Fast, quiet, rugged, playful, stubborn, precise. What something does matters, but so does how it behaves while doing it.
Form
The physical result. Simple, honest, a bit industrial. Built to be handled, repaired, tossed in a bag, and taken somewhere real.
System
How the pieces join up. Kits, instructions, firmware, parts, and patterns that can be reused. Each experiment should make the next one easier to start.
Field Notes
The memory of the work. Observations, sketches, diagrams, misfires, fixes, and improvements. The notes stop the project becoming vibes.
Together, these pieces keep AFUGR practical without sanding off the weirdness.
Writing
Field notes for systems in motion.
