A repo to keep track of interesting gadgets and toys that I find or someone tells me about. These are things that I might own already, desperately am waiting to be released, or want in the future.

  • Teenage Engineering: Toys for audio, like wireless synthesizers. Great looking hardware design.
  • Love Hulten: Tech + wood crafting meet retro gaming. Interesting that in some instances it is just a raspberry pi inside and has other failings like mono audio.2 Perhaps not a problem with more recent creations.
  • Analogue Pocket: Handheld device for playing old game cartridges. Awesome hardware design. However can only take cartridges, not ROMs. This is an explicit design decision.
  • play.date: Handheld gaming device made by Panic! and Teenage Engineering. Amazing hardware design featuring a hand crank.
  • 8bitdo: Retro game controllers made wireless.
  • Polymega: Swiss army knife of retro gaming consoles. Skeptical since it is not an FPGA, could also just be their marketing doesn't show off their hardware like the Analogue marketing does.
