Back in July 2014, Julie wrote about the Qwerkywriter, a retro-styled Bluetooth keyboard that looked like the keyboard from a 1930’s typewriter.

Six years ago we remodeled our basement and bought our first flat screen TV, A 55″ Samsung that we mounted on the wall. It’s served us well, but when I bought it, it was before smartTVs were a thing, so I’ve felt like my home theater setup has been lacking Gadgeteer worthy features. That is
