After reading some users mods involving external antennas and internal USB SDR dongles I really wanted to try my hand at it. I originally saw a video on YouTube by user Backofficeshow added a SDR […]
I’m officially annoyed with remotes…
Let me explain… I’ve been riding my Honda Navi for almost a year now and my neighborhood is a gated community. That’s one remote that goes in my pocket, annnnd I need to get in and out of my garage. That’s two remotes in my already full pockets. I’ve had it. I thought of adding […]

The portable Linux terminal is now transparent!
Continuing my quest to have all my gadgets transparent, I’ve tried my hand at printing PETG to update the look of my portable Linux terminal.

The excitement of the Beepberry
When I saw this thing on Jeff Geerling’s blog I knew I had to have it. As he mentioned in his blog post, this thing has a super crisp low-power LCD display and a backlit Blackberry keyboard that I find to be very usable. The best part IMO is that the device is run by […]
