Acer Windows Mixed Reality Headset


This is my new favorite thing!! The best part is that I picked it up for $215.00 on Amazon.com
So if you were always interested in VR, but didn't think that you could afford it then this is your chance.
To support this you do need to have a laptop or PC that meets certain minimum requirements.

The minimum system requirement are:

Operating System Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (RS3) - Home, Pro, Business, Education
Processor Intel Core i5 7200U (7th generation mobile), dual-core with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology enabled (or better)
AMD Ryzen 5 1400 3.4Ghz (desktop), quad-core (or better)
RAM 8GB DDR3 dual channel (or better)
Free disk space At least 10 GB
Graphics Card Integrated Intel® HD Graphics 620 (or greater) DX12-capable integrated GPU (check if your model is greater) 
NVIDIA MX150/965M (or greater) DX12-capable discrete GPU
GPU must be hosted in a PCIe 3.0 x4+ Link slot
Graphics Driver Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 2.2
Graphics display port HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2
Display Connected external or integrated VGA (800x600) display (or better)
USB connectivity USB 3.0 Type-A or Type-C
Bluetooth connectivity (for motion controllers) Bluetooth 4.0

I bought a Acer Predator
Buying something brand new that has a sticker that states that it is Windows Mixed Reality ready makes it a bit of a no brainer.   There are less expensive desktop options.

Pikes Peak Poker

Pikes Peak Poker Pikes Peak Poker reached out to me because their old website needed a refresh.  So I made them this.  I tried wix.com for the first time because I had heard so many good things about them. I needed to see for myself.   I really like the fact that you can create a custom data base to be used throughout the website.   I like the shopping cart. I surprised to find out, after signing up to be a Premium member that many of the add on apps in the app store cost extra. This was disappointing because the shopping app by itself only accepts 2 forms of payment, Paypal and Square. I'm still trying to figure out a way to expand that.  I think I might link back to Facebook for the shopping part.  I am always making tweaks and improving the feature of the website so that it is never completely done. What do you think?   Leave suggestions in the comments and maybe I will include them in the next update. Mike

Raspberry Pi 3

Raspberry Pi 3 Such an amazing little device.  Seen here with a case and power supply you can pick this up on Amazon for $50.00.  If all that you want is the board you can get it for $35.00. My first project was to install KODI on this for use as a media server.  You hook the HDMI cable to a TV and you can watch television shows and Movies. Next, I wiped that SD card and turned it into a retro game console. These are two of the easiest projects, because you can download an SD card image that basically is everything you need. There are kits that you can turn a Raspberry Pi into a Laptop with its own Linux based operating system called Raspian. I like the Pi 3 because it is basically a tiny computer.  The 3 has built-in WiFi, HDMI connector and Bluetooth out of the box. The Pi zero, one and two can be used for a variety of kind of projects, where this amount of horsepower is not needed. Check out this website: https://www.raspberrypi.org/resources/make/ ...
