I’m kind of stubborn, I often think I know better and I like to tinker. As a result, when I see/feel a product shaped hole in my life I often try to fill it by making that something myself, even though there are generic solutions already out there. I have enormous fun gathering the requirements, then making a design and finally cobbling something together, usually with the help of friends/family.
So here we are with a gallery of stuff, sometimes just the one prototype that doesn’t even have basic documentation but sometimes with a detailed production sheet. Did I mention I’m a software analyst? My work habits might be bleeding over a bit into my hobbies..
