Re Wiring Monoprice Select Mini V2 Heat Bed
While the Monoprice Select Mini is a great low cost way to get into 3D printing it definitely has its flaws.
Things I've Worked On
Spark
Spark is a software platform designed for selling marketing and managing new development real estate. This is by far the biggest project I've worked on. It's built using Ruby on Rails and I've worked full time on it since 2014.
Podyssey
Podyssey is the Goodreads for podcasts. I helped setup the initial Podyssey website and still occasionally make small contributions to it. It's built using React.
Ian Smith (this website)
This site is entirely custom and built with Ruby and Sinatra. It gives me a fun place to experiment and a chance to design things from scratch.
Book Notes
Range
DAVID EPSTEIN
One of the best books I've read on both business and education. Range does an excellent job explaining why generalists are becoming more important in a specialized world. Specialists are still important but innovation comes more often from crossing disciplines.
