Welcome to my project playground! Here’s a peek at the fun I have building things—a mix of software tinkering, hardware hacking, and general making. You’ll find everything from quirky robots and retro computers to coding experiments and the occasional Arduino adventure. It’s a casual showcase of my passions and a chance to see what happens when curiosity and a few spare parts collide.
I wasn’t sure what to do with this ancient Atom-powered Acer Aspire Revo, but turns out it can run Haiku! So now I get to explore that OS while contemplating upgrades, paint jobs, and LED strips.
A nod to the past, I’m trying out RISC-OS on a RPi400
I missed the IBM ZX on eBay, but this could be a close-enough substitute. Waiting on it to ship to me now …
A “keyboard computer” powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 (W), to run either Amiga (UAE, Pimiga) or Atari TOS (Hatari).
Let’s build a C64! Let’s build a C64! Let’s build a C64! Let’s build a C64!
My beautiful wife bought me one of these, and I almost immediately started messing with alternative operating systems and hardware upgrades.
N-GO is a clone PCB of the ZX Spectrum Next implemented in an FPGA and sized to fit in the original 16/48K or 48K+ case. There’s a lot to like about this idea.
