Introduce yourself!

Hi all,

I guess I should have come here when I first joined the forum but I was so anxious for information that I didn’t even see this category, initially.

I’m 58 years old. I am a retired New York City Police Officer. I now work for a local automobile titling and registration company. I have 3 children. My son, the youngest, is a Senior at Stevens Institute of Technology. You can thank (or blame) him for my being here. He introduced me to uBuntu and simply mentioned the Raspberry Pi to me before heading back to school. (See the full story in “Show your mirror”. The rest is history.

I would just like to mention 3 names. They are/were instrumental in helping me get my mirror up and running and continuing to answer my questions relating to customization.

So, thank you and all the other wonderful, helpful, creative people here.

Hi all,

I’m Christian, a 29 year old software developer from Hamburg, Germany. I love mobile and web technologies and new and evolving areas such as smart homes. I just planned to build my first MagicMirror over the next few weekends. You guys really built some cool modules already that I absolutely have to include. A big Thank You for that!

I love that there are already face recognition and voice control modules available, I hope I can help to take the next step with hooking up natural speech control (via Google Cloud Services or Microsoft Cognitive Services).

Hi all,

I’m Slamet PS, a 39 year old hobbist from Bandung, Indonesia. I love tinkering (IoT), also a gunpla modeller and collector and a drone pilot. I completed my first MagicMirror a few weeks a go. One of great products I have ever met.

I also develop a new module (MMM-RandomQuranAyah).

Still tuning the facial-recognition module and plan to add voice-control.
You can find me at FB, instagram, twitter and blog.

Hello everyone!

My name is Hart and I am 26 from California! I work in software support and am teaching myself some of the development and code aspects of things. I also run a small blog called The Gentlemen’s Society.

I started in the Home Automation world a few years ago when I wanted to make things easier for my wife and have been obsessed since then. I have been wanting a Raspberry Pi, but never pulled the trigger, until I found the MM project! It finally gave me the reason to buy one and now I want more. Got my first “mirror” up and running, which I am using as a dashboard on my TV.

Can’t wait to meet all of you and look forward to the awesome things to come! This is a great community!
