CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock
My thoughts on the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 dock
My name is Andy and I make lots of random stuff. Read more about me on the About page.
I've released a tiny little macOS menubar utility I use to quickly swap my SSH config files between different environments or use cases. It's called Sshwitch.
Side note: On this website, I am using the super-cool Input font for this site. If you write code and you want to use it for your code editor, grab it here: https://input.djr.com/
A radnom sampling of tools and resources I find useful. View all resources →
Resources for developers, by developers. The bible of web development documentation.
A non-profit organization that consists of an interactive learning web platform, an online community forum, chat rooms, online publications and local organizations.
A small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for the Edges. My go-to for Cloudflare Workers.

“Alice is an innovative block-based programming environment that makes it easy to create animations, build interactive narratives, or program simple games in 3D. Unlike many of the puzzle-based coding applications Alice motivates learning through creative exploration. Alice is designed to teach logical and computational thinking skills, fundamental principles of programming and to be a first exposure to object-oriented programming. The Alice Project provides supplemental tools and materials for teaching using Alice across a spectrum of ages and subject matter with proven benefits in engaging and retaining diverse and underserved groups in computer science education.“ —Alice Home page
“Science Journal for Kids aims to make scientific research discoveries more accessible to the general audience and particularly to children. We do that by digitally publishing kid-friendly adaptations of scientific papers. In addition, Science Journal for Kids prepares and offers teacher’s aids and resources to enable integration of the scientific literature in a classroom curriculum.“ —ScienceJournalForKids.org About page

Technology is super cool and it shouldn't care who makes it that way. Women/Girls in Tech.
The vision of the National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) is to bring together organizations throughout the United States that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
An informal group of scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) decided to help inspire girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) on Earth Day, April 22, 2013.
This page has a lot of good stuff for women interested in programming and tech. The major sections start with “The History of Women in Tech.” The other sections include “Coding Resources for Girls and Women at Every Age and Stage,” “Resources for Women Already in Tech,” and “Ways Companies Can Make Equitable Changes.”
