The Woose Tracker
2019-08-08 10:59 by Ian
This project is a wearable child's toy for team games. I have two children that are young enough to start drawing treasure maps and playing sophisticated games of hide-and-seek. And they both watch cartoons that have characters with wearable computers. So I embarked on a quick project to build something that was meant to be used for fun.

Loudmouth is my 8-channel network-connected audio amplifier. It contains a RasPi3 wearing an AudioInjector Octo hat. This is a machine I started building in 2018 to pipe audio to different rooms in my house.

Metalcraft (PC Case)
2011-03-05 07:55 by Ian
For the past eight years, I’ve been limping along on my 2Gz P4a. I finally built myself a new PC, and quickly found that as the hardware has become better, the cases have gone one of two ways: Either cheap 1/16” steel rattletraps that cost $40, or Xbox hueg l33t towers full of lights and windows.
No thank you. I’ll roll my own.
