the Tough Kit

the Tough Kit

Designing parts during the pandemic has been fun- but what’s been missing is actually getting outdoors. Even though things are starting to cool off, I’m thinking ahead to getting back outside. As I continue to evolve my original ideas around the Recovery Kit and the original Quick Kit,

the Utility Pad

I don’t make any attempt to hide that I’m frequently jumping between platforms. This can be iOS/Android (with a constant curiosity about PinePhone), but also between Linux, MacOS, and Windows. One of the challenges is that there’s frequently a tool or feature that is great on

the Kuiper Deck

Over the last few years I’ve gone through several design iterations on 3D printed, semi-portable, and Open Source computers. They usually center around a Raspberry Pi, but I’ve made that decision project by project. As I wrap up my work and focus on the cyberdeck designs I’ve

cyberdeck.cafe CONTEST entry - black & clear

There’s a contest ending soon, and I was intrigued - a Cyberdeck around the Raspberry Pi Zero. At $10, they really are closer to a Circuit Python device in power, but hey- it runs full Python and even includes WiFi- something that Circuit Python boards are often missing. Normally
