About Coolbluebike Hub
Coolbluebike Hub is a personal project space — part blog, part portfolio, part documentation log. It’s where JD keeps track of the things he’s building, exploring, and thinking about.
The projects here tend to cluster around a few recurring obsessions: robotics, artificial intelligence, hands-on making, and the occasional deep dive into something completely unrelated. There’s also travel, family, and whatever else is worth writing down.
About JD
JD (John Edwards) is a technologist, tinkerer, and lifelong learner based in the Greater Toronto Area. He’s been building things with computers since the early days of the web — back when GeoCities was a serious hosting option and a blinking cursor was the height of web animation. (There’s actually an archived version of that 1994 GeoCities site somewhere on this very website, if you’re brave enough to look.)
Over the years, the focus has shifted from web development to robotics, AI, and the maker movement — but the core curiosity hasn’t changed. If a thing can be understood, improved, or built from scratch, that’s where JD’s attention tends to land.
Current projects include the Marco Robot Project — a long-running personal robotics experiment now entering its Marco2 phase — and Samwise Agency, an automated newsletter publishing platform covering tech, AI, Formula 1, baseball, and GTA local news.
What This Site Is
Coolbluebike Hub is not a professional publication or a polished brand. It’s a personal space — updated when there’s something worth sharing, written for an audience of one (and anyone else who happens to find it interesting). Posts may be technical, personal, incomplete, or all three at once.
If something here is useful or interesting to you, that’s a bonus.
