I make tiny art machines.
Tiny dogs run my life and I'm OK with it.
I do occasionally work on commission so feel free to DM.

Bad idea: since there's a mechanical limit to how much you can cool down a CPU, design a motherboard with a rotary barrel.

While one CPU is used, the other five can be cooling down!

@foone If we discover a form of very fast chip but with a finite number of cycles then we'd need a revolver-style speed loader.

repaired, cleaned up, and re-capped a 68-key keyboard.

It had a keyswitch broken, and a few missing caps, so I repaired it and stuck some new caps on it.

@foone That empty surface above the arrows is begging for googly eyes. 👀

I wonder how hard it is to make a fake USB printer.
Like, a printer that takes any printout and goes "yep, that printed just fine" but nothing ever comes out anywhere

@foone Well, now I want my shredder to appear on the network as a printer.

Bad idea that could still make a lot of money:
A small desk-size washing machine, with proprietary soap packets, designed to clean keyboard keycaps.

I want a macropad keyboard that's also kind-of a watch. Like, it's a macropad, but you wear it on your wrist/arm.

@foone Like, does it Bluetooth to a PC?

@foone I guess it could use lora to something that acts like a USB keeb. With a good antenna on the receiver it might work all over your neighborhood.
