The Sneakbox Disarray is a mechanical keyboard that comes with an aluminum case, a brass switch plate, a PCB, and an aluminum knob. There are two keyboard layout options: staggered and ortholinear.

Please forgive my brevity or typos. In addition to composing on a small screen, Chromium has a… Continue reading Raspberry machines

A little over a week ago I purchased my first drone, the Hubsan X4, for $36 thanks to some encouragement from a friend… Continue reading Lessons learned from my quadcopter
