  Embedding myself in devices

  This blog's been a litte dead the last year as I've been head deep in two big projects in addition to teaching more than before at Westerdals ACT. I'm not dead and I'm having a blast! I'm doing exactly what I want at the moment and I feel that I'm creating really good ...

  Call me! (with Adafruit FONA)

  About a year ago, Adafruit launched the FONA. It's a neat little breakout board that packs all the features you'd want in a phone such as Calling, SMS, Data and Lipo battery operation and charging. Add to that a good API that is easy to extend and we have a winner.

  Project: Makeblock 3D printer

  My new Ultimaker 3D printer

  After playing with my friend Jim's Makerbot for some time, I realized that I simply had to have one of these. However - having a moving build platform really limits the speed and usefulness. I researched what machines were available and they all had similar limitations. Either they were too ...

  The Rock City project

  Once in a while there comes along a project where you get to play with loads of fun things. This project was exactly that. Rock City Namsos is a brand new cultural building in the city of Namsos. It contains a movie theatre, a concert hall, a resource hub for professional music, a super-sweet ...
