That is why I started looking for alternate options. Of course, the Raspberry Pi was the first thing I thought of. […]
One of the coolest things about travel is the ability to taste the cuisine. From restaurants, to how the fast food looks and tastes different from around the world, to even the snacks you can get from the local bodega (because travel always involves late night snack runs).

I still remember the awesome gear I brought to my first CES. It was an off-brand flip camera with adjustable screen. It could do 108p 30fps, and I modded it to accept a external microphone. It wasn’t the prettiest mod I’ve ever done, but it worked. From there, I was a big fan of the […]
