I want a really narrow keyboard stand and couldn’t find one, so I’ve been working on a design I can build all myself. To test it, I 3D printed a 20% scale model and it might be my favorite ever haha. AA battery for scale.

Working on some image processing / machine learning for kelp forrest detect with the Seattle aquarium and discoverd that google colab has a crab mode, which seems quite apt for this situation.

This thing seems to always get stuck on the bottom and then there is no way to recover it haha. You just have to pull on the tether and do a harrowing catch lol.

Today I kicked off the judging process for the Ribbit Network solar Powered, cellular connected Frog as part of the Hackster Challenge we've been running and wow! The three finalists did some incredible work. It's difficult, but it is possible to do great open-source hardware work as a community.
