Plymouth, restart, and first public profile
The early biographical route: arrival, manual work, study, astronomy, robotics, ESA, and NVIDIA.
Open the Bio archiveLegacy writing
The old public notebook, made findable.
A searchable Legacy Writing Archive of 185 openable posts from the earlier martinpeniak.com site: Plymouth, robotics, GPU computing, TEDx, astronomy, Tao, and the old notebook around them.
Each preserved title opens as a restored article page. Older posts keep their period voice after light cleanup. Start with origin, work, public milestones, observation, and place; social and site-history material sits in appendices.

Old voice
Eight old pages still worth reading.
These preserved notes give a direct route through the earlier site: origin, ESA, NVIDIA, California, the thesis, TEDx, and the iCub public record.

Open site notesCurated public selection
The strongest route through the old writing.
These are the strongest pieces from the earlier site. The section pages keep the wider archive open without making this page heavy.
