Articles

I've written a great number of articles on a wide variety of topics, but they all had one thing in common; they were all interesting to me. I write recreationally, so when I choose to write about a topic it's because it intrigues me as an engineer and because I think it will excite other people as well. If you have a cool technology that you think I should write about, contact me at jack@jackherrington.com and we'll work together to make an article that really grabs peoples attention.
