I like figuring out how things work, and using that to solve problems. Software, hardware, whatever!

I have a background in large scale web applications, but have also been tinkering with electronics my whole life.

Recently I spent most of my time working on Pixelblaze.

I also enjoy photography, games (on/offline), nature, swimming, family time, and geeking out with people on shared interests.

PCB assembly and packing process.

Ben Jan 21

For the #makergiftexchange last week with friends, I made a POV clock. Using one RGB LED and a seven segment display, it draws up to 21 characters and a full circle of 180 virtual pixels on a spinning circular PCB. Loosely inspired by Bob Blick's "Propeller Clock."

The #makergiftexchange is fantastic. I love seeing what they all come up with, and with all the fun of a white elephant. It was a fantastic excuse to learn some stuff and make a thing a friend will enjoy.
