Tomatoes & Transistors
A retro-CRT personal dashboard that brings garden telemetry, vintage computing, and a life in hands-on repair under one roof.
- For
- Garden telemetry and retro-computing enthusiasts
- Worth noticing
- The author describes monitoring VPD, temperature curves, and canopy health through a custom dashboard.
Field notes
The dashboard combines a garden-monitoring project with a terminal-like retro-computing fact engine, using custom CSS grid layouts and vanilla JavaScript. The garden section names VPD, temperature curves, and canopy health as tracked data, while the technical feed references network diagnostics and remote data sources. The accompanying biography supplies an unusually detailed path through avionics repair, diesel mechanics, early home computing, digital art, and current information-systems study.
