My latest hack ‘CyberDeckChair’ is a solar-powered contraption with two modes. In cyberdeck mode, use it as a Pomodoro timer to aid your work productivity. When you’ve exhausted yourself, activate the deckchair mode and recharge in the sun ☀️🧳🔋

If devices need breaks, so do you!! ✨✨✨
A pastel green crocheted travel suitcase with grey straps and blue handles. The front of the case is embedded with a Micro:Bit, which is an electronic microcontroller board with a grid of LEDs. Some of the LEDs are glowing and the straps cover the buttons on the board. The suitcase rests on a 3D printed deck chair laid on some grass in a park.

I tend to be known for putting textiles and electronics together ☺️
The backside of a toy crocheted couch from the tv show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. It is attached to some electronics and a speaker that plays the show’s tune. In the background is a poster from the same show. A Turkey with round yellow glasses leans backwards on the couch. A game controller made of electronics and felt embroidery. One of the electronics has a display saying ‘Who me?’. The game is an algorithmic version of ‘who stole the cookie from the cookie jar’. A crocheted cushion in the shape of a resistor (yellow, violet, red, gold) with three identical real value resistors pinned on its top. A hand holding the backside of an e-reader. The back cover is covered in cross-stitch decorated with flowers and leaves. In the center is a AAA battery holder with two batteries in it.

I’m so excited! I made Victorian-inspired pockets attached to a waistband (w velcro).

I made them comically large to make a point, so, it fits everything I need - my phone, charging cable, wallet, comb, hand sanitizer, a tiny notebook, and my e-reader. If this sticks, it will be a game changer 👜🚫

I am beyond excited to start reading on my ‘open book’, a kit I assembled at the Open Hardware Summit last month. It was my first time soldering SMD components, and phew, I managed. Thanks all involved humans and flux for this awesome experience 💕
