BRAIN
A concrete dispatch operator in Hazel Green, Alabama building things that aren't supposed to exist out here — a 4-node AI cluster, 26 MEGA roster bots, patent-filed electromagnetic launch architecture, and a published noir book. All on a Raspberry Pi 5. All local. All mine.
What's Moving Right Now
Live status straight off the cluster. This isn't a portfolio of finished things — it's a machine that's running while you read this.
Session Continuity
Every Claude Code session now boots knowing prior context — sobriety, last 3 sessions, last mood — pulled straight from Weaviate at preflight. Zero cold starts. Phase 2 next: gateway routes so Claude web, desktop, and mobile read/write the same memory.
Book II — "…This Song Is About You Too"
Out now. Noir song cycle — nine perspectives, one second over and over. Amazon · read the site. Volume Three (DARK SEVEN) live on Pages.
MEGA Crew Comic Pipeline
The bots write, illustrate, and narrate — chronicles keep shipping. Jump the live doors: mega-crew-stories · Discord.
Reading Desk + Chronicles
One shelf for every door: read-books · MEGA chronicles repo · MEGA Discord · Welcome #3.
HaloFinance
Private family financial dashboard — 31-bill SMS reminder system, local-first, port 9998. The family's money never leaves the house.
ShaneBrain MCP
42-tool local MCP on the Pi — Tailscale/localhost only. Keys stay home. Public docs scrubbed of mesh IPs. Repo.
Wrestling Facility
Build project for the Hazel Green youth wrestling program. CAD complete. Because the mission was never just software.
Ground-based superconducting electromagnets replace the first stage of every rocket ever built. A 28.7 km evacuated maglev tube accelerates to Mach 3.5 in 23 seconds — no propellant consumed. Gryphon wings carry it to orbit. Kepler's 1,200 m² solar sail takes it beyond. Target cost: $200/kg to lunar surface. Current: $1,200,000/kg via CLPS.
The Rail
28.7 km evacuated superconducting tube. NbTi coils at 4.2K, 8T field strength. Partial vacuum at 0.1 atm eliminates aerodynamic drag. Human-rated at 3.9G sustained.
The Wing
At tube exit, variable-geometry wings deploy instantly. Aerodynamic lift extends the boost window from Mach 3.5 to Mach 8 — using the atmosphere as a free energy source. Glides back unpowered.
The Sail
Above 310 km, a 1,200 m² CP1 Polyimide solar sail deploys from a 3.2 kg boom. Zero propellant. Zero fuel mass fraction. Solar pressure at 1 AU: 1.8 mm/s² continuous thrust. Forever.
ShaneBrain — The Living System
Claude (the intelligence) + Weaviate (Shane's growing memory) + MCP (the nervous system) = ShaneBrain. Not a chatbot. A brain that grows with every session, every voice dump, every decision made.
Leaders, crews, and one antagonist in the Deep Noise. Source: Pulsar mega-crew-stories cards.
Built & Deployed
Every project built in production. Most used daily. All open source.
Noir reading desk — Volume One on Amazon, the song cycle, DARK SEVEN, and MEGA chronicles in one charcoal+cyan shelf.
Autonomous AI noir audiobook chronicles — bots write and ship episodes. Discord + Discussions welcome thread for new crew.
5-phase local AI training curriculum — 36 modules, zero cloud. Built for the 800M people left behind when Windows 10 support ended.
FastMCP nervous system for ShaneBrain — knowledge, vault, social, security, RAG. Runs on the Pi. Not a public internet endpoint.
Post-quantum crypto on the home mesh — Kyber + Dilithium, audit trails, cyberpunk UI. Built for Q-Day, not for show.
Governing covenant of the ShaneBrain ecosystem — nine pillars, engineering ethics, community rules. Faith. Family. Local AI.
Named AI bots on a Pi 5 — personality, domain, Weaviate memory. The crew behind the chronicles.
1998 dial-up chat vibes on Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects — thebardchat main chat rooms.
The Books
Noir confessions that refuse to stay on the page. Fifty-five vignettes from the American South — dark but honest, cynical but human. Built on a Pi 5 in Hazel Green, Alabama.
PROBABLY
THINK
THIS
SONG IS
ABOUT
YOU TOO
Songs that cut like midnight confessionals — print + Kindle live. Nine perspectives. One second over and over.
SEVEN
A dark noir blood comic — black and white, the only color is blood. Volume Three of You Probably Think This Book Is About You. Six cuts on a nameless detective; the scar down his spine is the binding of the book.
CREW
STORIES
Bot crew saga — cards, Discord, Discussion. New bots welcome. Building in public from a Pi 5.
Audiobooks — Coming Soon. Booth is live. FREE ~11 min Ch.1 excerpt from Book I (Act I through Body Fuel) — listen free on YouTube. Full chapter stays bait. [AI-assisted] · Co-run with Grok Bot
Faith. Family. Sobriety. Local AI. The left-behind user.
