We tour a secretive AWS networking lab to see innovation from management switches up to 102.4T switches, encryption, timing, optics, and more
Formlabs dropped the Raspberry Pi on the way to a $699 SLA printer
Formlabs sent me a Form Studio 1 resin 3D printer to test after years of back-and-forth about their Form 4 printer. Like the Form 4, it’s an SLA (stereolithography) printer, but unlike the Form 4 (which starts at $2,600), it’s affordable for a hobbyist. It’s not cheap, coming in at $699 (or $749 with a flex build platform, which I highly recommend), but it is affordable.

Radxa’s Q8B has 2x the performance and expansion of the Pi 5
There was a time I'd look at a board like the Radxa Dragon Q8B (at left, above) and be like, "there's no way I'd spend $209 on an SBC with 8 gigs of RAM". But we're in 2026, and seeing the 8 gig Raspberry Pi 5 going for almost the same amount, I figured I'd give it a shot. On paper, the Q8B beats the Pi 5 in pretty much every way. A lot of that is thanks to this Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chip, which is the same chip I tested on Microsoft's Windows Dev Kit 2023.

I’m starting HomelabFest (in St. Louis, Sep 2027)
I’ve been working on my homelab for years, and I enjoy sharing what I learn through this blog and my YouTube channel. Over the past few years, I realized the homelab community (which isn’t really a defined thing—that’s okay) hasn’t had its own gathering, the way makers, software engineers, embedded developers, and HPC professionals do.
