Video: The Home Servidor

I met an interesting chap last week: Donavon West. He's an independent software developer who works out of his home in North Baltimore. He's also a tinkerer, with a fascination for both new and old tech -- and how to combine the two, at least aesthetically.

I wrote about one of his creations, which he's calling the Home Servidor. Take a look at the video below (BaltTech blog's first video!) for a little tour of it. (Note: no cigar was harmed in the making of this video and I don't condone smoking them. <cough-cough>)

 

To celebrate the spirit of hackery, anybody else out there doing interesting mashups of new and old tech? Drop a note in the comments. Maybe I'll show up at your front door with a video camera. ;-)

Brilliant. Though I can't keep my humidor stocked long enough to warrant computerizing it.

Gus, all you need is an ascot now.

And a Mercedes. And a brandy snifter. And, um, more money in my bank account. That would complete the image. :-) Gus
