About

Curious by default.
Strange by choice.

Part technologist, part storyteller, part aviation nerd. I like building things, questioning things, and keeping just enough weird in the mix to make it interesting.

Portrait of Buddy Cobb

The short version

Who is Buddy?

I'm a builder, a tinkerer, and a sucker for a good rabbit hole. Some days that means software or an AI experiment; other days it's a weird little project that exists mostly because it made me laugh. I love things that are bigger and stranger than they need to be — airplanes, loud music, dumb jokes that turn into whole worlds, and ideas that are way too fun to leave alone.

When I'm not making something, I'm usually watching the skies, playing something loud, poking at a half-baked idea to see where it goes, or talking myself into the next one. I'd rather make something a little ridiculous and real than something polished and forgettable.

Serious curiosity #1

โœˆ๏ธ Aviation

Aviation scratches the same itch as software systems: complex machines, strict rules, elegant failures, human judgment, and just enough danger to keep everyone honest. I'm fascinated by aircraft, pilots, drones, military aviation stories, flight systems, navigation, and the engineering behind getting metal into the sky.

Serious curiosity #2

๐ŸŽธ Punk Rock

Punk rock is the soundtrack for questioning things, building your own path, and refusing to let everything become beige corporate oatmeal. I love the energy, humor, rebellion, DIY spirit, and raw honesty of punk — the same spirit that shows up in weird projects, satire, software experiments, and the occasional gnome uprising.

And the rest

Other things that keep it weird

๐Ÿค–

Software & AI

Building systems and running experiments to see what's actually possible.

๐Ÿฐ

History Games

Strategy, simulation, and replaying the past to find out what could have happened.

๐Ÿ˜

Satire

Because some ideas land harder when they're funny first and serious second.
