I started this blog in 2012 with the idea of being able to do what I love (electronics) while traveling.
Since then, I’ve traveled and lived all over the world. I’ve been to Mexico, Colombia, USA, Australia, China, Fiji, Germany, Singapore ++.
In this section, you can find articles related to my travels and the lifestyle of being a maker.

Seeed Studio has been my goto-shop for creating prototype circuit boards for a long time. They also have lots of prototyping tools to help people create cool stuff.
SparkFun Electronics is one of my favorite online shops for cool electronic modules. I have always had a really good impression of them. They seem to have lots of fun all the time!
Protostack is based in Brisbane Australia and have been operating since 2008. We started because we were frustrated with the prototyping/perf boards available on the market and decided to design our own.
My name is Alexander Weber from Tinkerlog, I live in Hamburg, Germany and I am a freelance Developer for Android and Arduino as well. In my spare time I have fun building stuff with electronics and write about it on my blog .
As a kid, like many of us, I think,
I was lucky enough to get an interview with Massimo Banzi, one of the co-founders of Arduino. Here is what he has to say:
