TRMNL e-ink dashboard

Just pulled the trigger on ordering a TRMNL e-ink dashboard after first hearing about it on ATP and then again via some chatter on Bluesky.

With the kids getting older and ever busier, I’ve been looking for a family calendar solution that would start giving them some visibility and responsibility into all the things we’ve got going on. Us parents already use a family shared iCloud calendar but I was considering all sorts of solutions from giant dry erase to hugely expensive (but so cool) options like DAKboard but I am hoping the $129 Terminal (spelling it “TRMNL” every time is really annoying) will give us a simpler, better experience.

Should ship sometime in January, will update on how I’m liking it once I’ve used it for a bit. Also should probably write up some thoughts on my growing e-ink device obsession/collection.

Please don’t call me

I literally tear up every time my kids mention how they’re getting older, but also I am so ready for them to grow up just so I can turn on the iPhone setting to block all incoming calls not in my contacts.
