The laboratory
LOTG Labs is my private laboratory for researching, testing, and building.
It’s where I work through ideas, try things out, and investigate what happens. I use it to develop systems, examine how tools behave, and test whether something works the way I understand it.
Through Workbench, I share experiments, progress, findings, and what I learn along the way.
Inside Workbench
Workbench is where I make selected work from the laboratory available to explore. It may include documentation of what I tried, what happened, what changed, and what I’m still working through. That documentation can take the form of a video, an article, a public GitHub repository, or another format suited to the work.
The work takes a few forms:
Projects Larger bodies of work that develop through multiple experiments, decisions, and revisions.
Lab Entries Focused accounts of an investigation: what I tested, what I found, and what remains unresolved.
Artifacts Things produced through the work, such as tools, demonstrations, or other usable outputs, with enough context to understand what they do and their limits.
Field Notes Shorter observations, discoveries, and adjustments I want to preserve along the way.
About the Lab More about how I work in the laboratory and how I decide what to share.
Following the work
An experiment can lead to a useful result, a change in direction, or finding that something doesn’t work. And I want the record to make that outcome understandable.
When an investigation is complete, I want to preserve what it established. When something is still developing, I want to make that clear too.
Workbench includes material maintained on this website. I also share selected repositories and technical material through the LOTG Labs Workbench on GitHub. Individual records can point to the relevant files, code, or supporting material.
