Hi, I’m Maren, and I love building things almost as much as I love learning them. If I had the time, this site would grow into a gloriously random cabinet of curiosities: deep dives on quantum mechanics and particle physics, the Titanic (did you know the full text of the original inquiry is available free online?!), Lego techniques, electrical engineering, Raspberry Pis, soap making, chipmunks, NASA, product management strategy… you get the idea. I’ve always said that if I won the lottery, I’d spend all my time in school, learning everything I possibly could.
For now, I’m glad to have a place to share the things I’ve made. I’ll keep adding projects as I finish documenting them or dream up new ones, and a LEGO section is coming soon to showcase some of the sets I have designed. Someday, I might even write a few of those deep dives.
