I totalled up all of the costs for hosting #CommonsComputer. $550.32 per year, or $45.86 per month.

I met with Jon this morning at Z-Space after connecting at the Hardware Unconference.

He's a product designer with an expertise in plastics and hardware MVPs here in #Vancouver.

And as it turns out, he's also the creator of the Clug brackets we use for bikes in the studio!

Jon's new product is Relay Whiteboards -- small, re-usable, portable whiteboards that you can stick https://relaywhiteboards.com/

I ordered some to try out at the studio! Great to grow the hardware community locally!

My Daylight e-ink tablet arrived yesterday so I did a quick blog post with unboxing photos of what was included.

I’m part of the first batch because I paid for it in 2022, when the company had a different name!

It’s great to see Anjan Katta & team getting it into people’s hands!

I really haven’t used it much in the past 24 hours. Still exploring the companion apps and how I’m going to use it.
