I create interesting technical experiments that help encourage people of all backgrounds unleash their inner creator.

Common topics include:

  • Robotics kits for kids
  • Custom programming languages
  • Development environment innovations.
  • Peer-to-peer systems for truly decentralized networks
  • Electronic enhanced board games
  • Smart home automation/security systems that are actually secure, work offline and have low latency.

Reaching this goal will show me that there is significant interest in the tiers and give me the courage to create more tiers/products. Also it will make me and my family happy.

Select a tier

$ a month

Choose a custom amount.

$1 a month

Select

Open source enthusiast tier.

Use this tier if you just like what I do and want to help support my recurring costs. I've been paying out of pocket for years for running services like luvit.io and howtonode.org. These don't cost much, but any help will be greatly appreciated and will help encourage me to build more!

$5 a month

Select

Open source enthusiast tier.

This is the same as the $1/month tier, except you are able and want to contribute a bit more.

$100 a month

Select

Monthly robotics kit tier.

This is a fun one. I'll be making monthly robotics kits for education purposes. These will be aimed at kids, but adults will enjoy them as well.

An example of a kit might be something like:

  • ESP32 (WIFI enabled microcontroller)
  • USB power supply
  • USB charge cable
  • Neopixel Ring
  • Buttons
  • Speaker
  • Breadboard with wires

This will come pre-flashed with the latest version of my IoT platform and subscription to the tier will give you access to the associated cloud services that make programming on this a breeze.

$1,000 a month

Select

Dedicated Support Tier.

Use this tier if you make heavy use of my projects and want some peace of mind and support.

With this monthly retainer you get up to 5 hours of on-demand help each month. If things get really hairy and you need more help, I can contract for additional on-demand work at $300/hour.
