Wouter Groeneveld ☛ I Made My Own Fountain Pen!
The idea of following a woodworking workshop or a pen creation workshop stuck on the back of my mind but never quite managed to materialize.

Raspberry Pi ☛ Sustainable solutions with Raspberry Pi: Local, zero-waste manufacturing and precious metal recovery
Since the beginning, we have manufactured our single-board computers at the Sony UK Technology Centre (Sony UK TEC) in Pencoed, South Wales. This local partnership gives us deeper insight into the entire manufacturing process, ensuring that our high standards for quality and ethics are upheld. It’s a choice that supports British jobs and industries — and it’s also a fundamentally sustainable one. By keeping production onshore, we can largely avoid the complex and energy-intensive global shipping processes that characterise much of the electronics manufacturing industry, significantly reducing our carbon footprint.
