Electro Etching For same project I made the book for, I also needed some tokens. I recently had learned about electroetching, so this was a good time to give it a try. " Electroetching is a metal etching process that involves the use of a solution of an electrolyte, an anode, and a cathode.… ▶

DIY Book For a project I'm working on, I needed some kind of “monster manual” referencing the Cthulhu Mythos universe. So I spent a few days with making one. It's not the first time, I made a book. About 20 years ago I made a small book of my own short stories and poems. But back then I had to figure it out mostly by trial and error. This time I had YouTube to guide me… ▶
100% less Tentacles Unless you're reading this in a Feedreader (excellent!) or you're completely new here (welcome!) you will notice that everything looks different. Only ten years after the last redesign, I made a new look for this site. To be honest, I am quite surprised about what I ended up with. It seems more hipster than I thought myself to be 🙃.… ▶

RetroPie Revision 2 Not too long ago I built a Retropie based console. It was small and portable, but it still required an HDMI enabled TV or projector. And sometimes you will go places where that is not available - on a 3 week camper van vacation for example ;-). So during the last weeks I revisited the project to make it even more portable by adding a screen and builtin speaker.… ▶

Making the Fire HD 8 Work The Android tablet market is not what it used to be anymore. There used to be a huge selection of tablets to choose from. But nowadays the selection is slim. When my trusty Asus' battery failed, there wasn't much choice. Since I also was a bit short on cash… ▶
RetroPie Over the last few months I worked on a little Raspberry Pi project. It took so long because I ordered stuff from China and it all took a while to arrive. And because of bad planning I did not order everything at once... So what does it do? It's a mini game console similar to the… ▶
