I have been watching those amazing freeform creations by people like @MohitBhoite and @jipraus for some time. I examined many entries for the recent Circuit Sculpture Contest on hackaday.com and have been thinking, that I would love to build something like that, but I had been convinced that my skills are not good enough.

But skills can be trained and learned. So I finally ordered a few brass rods and tried my first freeform sculpture. Here’s the result.

A story about how I was reminded that impatience and impetuosity can backfire when dealing with hardware.

I learned recently that there’s a huge community around making of custom mechanical keyboards. Even though building such keyboard is actually quite expensive I failed to resist the temptation and decided to build my first one.

An improved version of my previous creation. Better and hackier!

Progress update about the Activity journal project.

It this part I am going to dive into a short and crude UX design phase for the Activity Journal application.

If you asked me a year ago to learn C++, I would politely refuse. Now I am (re)learning it.

I have got an idea for an Android application during my vocation. In this article, I am elaborating on the idea and my motivation to build it.

What could I do with couple of ICs (mainly shift registers), LEDs and basic components, but without a micro-controller?

I made a LED cube. A silly thing that blinks a lot and is controlled by programmable microcontroller. But why? And how?
