My latest hack ‘CyberDeckChair’ is a solar-powered contraption with two modes. In cyberdeck mode, use it as a Pomodoro timer to aid your work productivity. When you’ve exhausted yourself, activate the deckchair mode and recharge in the sun ☀️🧳🔋 If devices need breaks, so do you!! ✨✨✨

Some of the LEDs are glowing and the straps cover the buttons on the board. The suitcase rests on a 3D printed deck chair laid on some grass in a park.A pastel green crocheted travel suitcase with grey straps holding the suitcase in place on a 3D printed deck chair.

Just completed a new illuminated tote design in order to document and write it up for Make: Magazine. I had to change the geometric pattern on the front panel from my original builds because those were too close to a famous designer's trademark!

I’m so excited! I made Victorian-inspired pockets attached to a waistband (w velcro). I made them comically large to make a point, so, it fits everything I need - my phone, charging cable, wallet, comb, hand sanitizer, a tiny notebook, and my e-reader. If this sticks, it will be a game changer 👜🚫

I am beyond excited to start reading on my ‘open book’, a kit I assembled at the Open Hardware Summit last month. It was my first time soldering SMD components, and phew, I managed. Thanks all involved humans and flux for this awesome experience 💕
