Team Work
The long winter nights are upon us in the northern hemisphere, so you won't find a better time than now to start a project with your favorite nanocomputer – and maybe even your favorite people.
The long winter nights are upon us in the northern hemisphere, so you won't find a better time than now to start a project with your favorite nanocomputer – and maybe even your favorite people. We've been privileged to print the father-daughter-daughter projects in the Kid Stop section by Pete, Brooke, and Leah Metcalfe (check out their missile launcher in this issue), and we'd like to see other parent – child/teen team projects. If you are a young person who's created a cool project with a small-board computer – either alone or teamed with an adult – let us know at the email address below.
Meanwhile, in this issue you'll find projects to prime your creative juices. Two projects use the Raspberry Pi Camera. In the article on page 8, we show you how to use the RPi Cam Web Interface to control your Rasp Pi camera module from a browser. In the Scratch column on page 88, you'll find out how to use the Pi Camera with the Scratch programming language to make stop-motion animations.
If streaming multimedia content is your interest, take a look at the RasPlex media center, which allows you to stream content to multiple TVs. If you happen to own a yacht (recreational vehicle, treehouse), we show you how to capture terrestrial television, stream movies, and provide WiFi for your home away from home, all with a Raspberry Pi. If all you need are tiny monitors, Dr. Torq shows you how to loop a movie to a tiny LCD color screen, and another author takes a look at Display T. Box, a Raspberry Pi 2 with a 2.8-inch color touch display mounted in the case.

Welcome to Raspberry Pi Geek – the first and only print magazine dedicated to the amazing Raspberry Pi mini-PC and the open hardware revolution. We ring in the new and old in this issue. (Actually, nothing is really very old with the Raspberry Pi, but we follow up on some previous themes, including a report on how it went for the wind-turbine-powered Raspberry Pi we described last time.)

Welcome
Just more than four years ago the first Raspberry Pi was released to overwhelming response. Many people had to wait for their first-generation Pi while production was ramped up to meet the demand. Now you have an entire array of Pis from which to choose, and demand is still so high that you might have to wait for your computer on backorder immediately after a new model is released. Moreover, the quad-core Raspberry Pi 3 has broadened the possibilities of what you can accomplish with the little nanocomputer.

Welcome
It is rumored that Thomas Edison tested thousands of filaments for an incandescent lamp before he produced the first commercially viable electric light bulb, and I imagine his is not a unique experience. Building mock-ups and working models exposes the weaknesses and strengths of a design, which prepares you to make a better version, then a better version, until you have found the right combination of materials, components, configuration, and cost.
