My passion for 7 years has been to bring augmented reality glasses to the average user.
I believe the carefully focused product we've built has the potential to get AR into homes all around the world.

This semiconductor supply chain mess is like nothing I've seen before.
Spending my weekend doing last minute redesigns because parts like a common $0.25 voltage regulators have a lead times of 4-6 months and sketchy brokers are squatting on inventory demanding $15 per part.

Unfortunately the PCB house flipped all the IR LEDs on the first production run.
My new hobby the next few days will be flipping 3300 LEDs so we won't take a schedule hit.

YAAAS!! We hit our funding goal in less than a day.
It's time to put our foot on the gas and make sure we get a bazillion units out into the wild. More units == more games. more friends to play with and more people online for late night game fixes!!!

Big surprise!
Facebook is hell bent to chip away at privacy and acclimate the world to XR devices that digitize every moment of our lives and infer emotions, even if you're not wearing them. What could go wrong?
Oculus employees should reflect on what they're complicit in.
If you've linked your Facebook account to your Oculus VR headset, your Oculus data will now be used for targeted Facebook ads.

Lasered away the photo resist and etched this in 15 minutes.

I never felt like I was doing anything special when I had my head down working on engineering challenges over the years, so it's very nice getting this recognition.

Finished repairs on a C64 that was crushed. It had many cracks and the board was rattling inside.
Patched the missing plastic with filler, matched the tan color with acrylic paint, clear coated the area, 3D printed all the internal standoffs and rebuilt the 3 lid tab.
