Big news, friends!
This channel is evolving into something bigger. Over the next few days, you’ll notice the name and visuals changing from the original “OMG The Cloud!” branding to our new name: “The Smart Workshop”. This represents a new chapter that better represents the projects, tools, and ideas we’ve been building together, and refined focus on projects the community has shown passion and excitement for.
Don’t worry — Same projects, same maker energy — just a smarter workshop! This rebranding has been a long time coming, as the projects we’re engaged in, the technical landscape has evolved, and myself as a content creator have grown. The channel will take on a more personal approach to content, more cohesive project roadmaps with improved engagement across the community. I’m personally very excited for this next chapter, and looking forward to sharing more with you all soon!
I’ll have a short video soon to walk you through the rebrand and what’s coming next.
Thanks for sticking around and being part of this community. The future vision of this workshop is going to be even smarter!

Hey there! I'm back, in the process of building a new studio, and creating fresh content! As a reintroduction to my channel, I am starting with a series which ties MANY topics into home automation: 3D printing, microcontroller programming, containerization, various ESP32 sensor and solar-powered projects, and even a super fun hydroponic gardening project! I would love your opinion on particular areas to focus on. Cast your vote, and be part of the process here! As always, please do take time to watch my past videos, like and comment; I read them all!
