Full GPU Accelerated ARM64 Steam on Unrooted Termux, Because Why Not?

I’ve been having so much fun running full steam games on my switch lite! Just this weekend I got Psychnauts running well (with no overclocks!) These can be good times even if they are complicated times. Sometimes, you just need to know something is possible before it becomes easy for everyone. That’s what I’m hoping for here. I’ve got a proof of concept that’s working well enough to share, but I’m…

Blur, Brutal Legend, C&C Red Alert 3: Linux Does What Nintendon't

The most valuable thing you can do for the longevity of a device is install linux on it. I’m not just talking personal longevity, I’m also talking about the weird and wonderful ways you can keep a platform alive when you have an open target.

A big ole stack of one-off projects in 2025

I actually wrote quite a bit of code in 2025! While my professional life was centered around AI enablement for my teams and getting the big launch out this year to customers, I did a fair amount of personal projects.

My Custom Guitar from MaCo Guitars Is In!

This has been many years coming, and I’m so excited to finally be able to share this with y’all. Years ago, I met a brilliant engineer and guitar builder, who later started MaCo guitars. Many years before thats, my co-founder Mark and I had built a cigar-box guitar together based on the Make magazine cover article. I never forgot how much fun it was, or how much skill goes into even the most basic…

Coaching Leaders During Covid

It’s 2022. Strange as it is to write this, that means we’ve been living in a Covid-19 world for two years. For many of us that has meant a shift into remote work and remote leadership. Looking back on these past two years of fully remote leadership, I’ve observed that the stress of Covid-19 has only exacerbated the struggles that many new leaders go through. With that in mind, here are four…

Conway's Emotional Law

Conway’s Law. The idea that your organizational structure will be mirrored in your design (software) structure. Simple in concept and true to my experience, it’s a principle that drives many an organizational planning session.

Johnny Castaway Text Edition

I’ve been enjoying and porting Johnny Castaway to new systems for many years now. Today though, is the first time I’ve actually added a fundamentally new feature to Johnny.

15$ for Direct HDMI Input on Oculus Go

I’m going to come out and say it. The Oculus Go is my favorite VR headset of 2021, maybe ever. Yes, that Oculus go, the cheap one they don’t sell anymore. I’m currently playing through Magnesium 173 via Steam Streaming to my PC, emulating light gun games in retroarch, and playing Switch games directly through HDMI!

I was working on a follow-up to the previous article on my x86 handheld, when I stumbled upon a technology that totally superseded it.

The Steamin' Deck, A Low-End X86 Handheld

Y’all probably know, I love games. I’m also way into handheld gaming, portable consoles, processors, embedded systems and retro gaming in a major way. I pick up every cheap chinese handheld I can find, love my switch, and am just a major portable and retro gaming enthusiast. So you can imagine my excitement when the Steam deck was announced. Of course I preordered, hell I’ve bought everything GPD…
