I don’t make any attempt to hide that I’m frequently jumping between platforms. This can be iOS/Android (with a constant curiosity about PinePhone), but also between Linux, MacOS, and Windows. One of the challenges is that there’s frequently a tool or feature that is great on

Over the last few years I’ve gone through several design iterations on 3D printed, semi-portable, and Open Source computers. They usually center around a Raspberry Pi, but I’ve made that decision project by project. As I wrap up my work and focus on the cyberdeck designs I’ve
