My Ambient Information Display

<p>I like to be immersed in useful information, and often dreamed of ways to have it literally floating above me so that I could glance up and see something new and interesting.</p> <p>A few years ago I mounted a 43&quot;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0874XJYW8" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Fire TV</a>&nbsp;above my desk, tie-wrapped a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Raspberry Pi</a>&nbsp;to the back of it, and used&nbsp;<a href="https://magicmirror.builders/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">MagicMirror</a>&nbsp;to create the display of my dreams. I have spent several years improving my display and am finally ready to tell you all about it!</p> <p>MagicMirror is a mature piece of open source code with a very active&nbsp;<a href="https://forum.magicmirror.builders/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">community</a>. The base package includes a&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/introduction.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">default set</a>&nbsp;of modules, and there are&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">hundreds more</a>&nbsp;available. Most of these modules were built by developers to &ldquo;scratch their own itch&rdquo;, and subsequently shared far and wide, also in open source form.</p> <p><a href="https://nextjeff.medium.com/my-ambient-information-display-e3c026a2d325"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
