From the video description:

In this session, I will explore some playful low-power, sometimes analog, computation systems and esoteric programming languages, designed to work offline, on salvaged devices, advised from spending the past 7 years sailing around the Pacific Ocean.

No seafaring experience required.

No lie I have to pause this video at nearly every sentence and ponder the implications. Mind-blowing stuff.

I have to set aside some time to go through this then. Might continue raining today so I have something to look forward to! I hope it doesn't make me want to live on a boat too much
