I use Dave Winer's Drummer for writing this blog as well as doing some cool scripting. I was a huge fan and big user of Dave's Userland Frontier which he and Jake Savin are currently porting to modern OSes codenamed Atlantis. I am really looking forward to seeing it in the wild.

This is one of the coolest projects I have ever seen being both a Raspberry Pi fan and a musician! It's called Halfmoon Chimes. Check out the article

I've been watching the increase in people creating cool gadgets using the
Waveshare ESP32-S3 1.8inch AMOLED Touch Display so I finally broke down and ordered one! I used to do a lot of "
physical computing" with all kinds of microcontrollers including Arduino and many from
Adafruit.com. And of course I have worked with a lot of Raspberry Pi projects but it's a "
single board computer" not a microcontroller. I loved working with the hardware but have gotten away from it with all of the AI work I have been getting involved with some of my consulting clients. Check out this search on Twitter for
ESP32-S3 and you'll see how interest has ramped up with these gadgets. Mine will be arriving in about 10 days hopefully! Can't wait!
