Overdue Updates

Overdue Updates

It has been a long while since my last post. I've worked on quite a few projects and thought "I should post about that" but then never seem to make it to that part. So I guess I will just give some brief overviews and then

Simple Magic Mirror

Simple Magic Mirror

A Magic Mirror has been one of those projects I always wanted to build but I couldn't justify the expense to myself. In a recent issue of The MagPi (Issue 90, Feb 2020), they outline a small-scale, simple magic mirror project that can be built relatively inexpensively. Supplies
