Honesty is ALWAYS the Best Policy
Background Many, may people will give (and sometimes charge) for advice on how to be successful. So far, in my 15+ year career, I’ve found that being honest is the easiest and best way to be successful… no influencer model required. Really? Yep. Could probably stop here, but I’ll elaborate a little bit. First off, lying is actually quite hard, especially if you intend to be good at it.

Want a fun — some assembly required — portable gaming experience? How about something that’s kid friendly and a great intro for how hardware tech works? If so, keep reading… Quick Background I first discovered ODROID a couple years back when researching computer boards.

They can be insanely cheap ($5 USD), and are built to be mostly open source (more on the importance of this in another post) and accessible. I’ll likely have a post on compute boards in the future… stay tuned 😏. For ODROID’s 10-year anniversary they…

Third Party Hosted Content Policy:
I may offer mirroring of files used in a project or on a thought piece; I will also include first party links.

I attempt to link to the parent content of the file(s) if possible, not directly link to the file. This also helps you get…
