After years of moving away from terminals and towards graphics, the mouse, colors, video, audio and then to the final boundary - touch... I find myself here again. Recently I've become quite addicted to writing small but useful programs with micropython. I'd like to imagine a world in which my entire e-life could fit within a tiny network connected device such as the ESP-32. I'll write about how I began this road to tech minimalism, what I've done so far, and where I'd like to go. Alex
