About NetherViking.

NetherViking is the name behind my personal technology projects: a place where curiosity usually turns into hardware, software, sensors and far too many dashboards.

I like building systems that let me observe and understand things that would otherwise remain invisible. Energy moving through a home. Changes in weather and light. Sensors quietly collecting data. Automation connecting all those separate pieces into something useful.

Most projects start with a simple question: could I build this myself?

From there, things tend to grow.

NetherBoard started as a way to bring information together. NetherSky grew from an interest in observing the sky and the environment around it. Other systems explore energy, weather, imaging and automation, often crossing paths and sharing data along the way.

I don’t build these projects simply to have a finished product. Much of the fun is in understanding how things work, experimenting with them, finding their limitations and improving them over time.

Some experiments work beautifully. Others produce another experiment.

Both count.

Build it. Understand it. Question it. Evolve it.

That idea sits behind everything here.

NetherViking is where I document that process: the systems that work, the experiments still evolving, and occasionally the wonderfully unnecessary solution to a problem that probably could have been solved much more easily.

But where would be the fun in that?
