<![CDATA[Introduce yourself!]]>Because I’m very curious who is building the MagicMirror, I thought it would be fun to introduce ourselves. Most of you will probably know me by know, but a little bit more personal info can’t hurt … ;)

I’m Michael Teeuw, 34 years old. Engaged with a beautiful flight attendant, father of the 8 month old future-maker; Enzo. And a self employed business owner.

I love tinkering with electronics (Arduino, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, Etc …), enjoy 3D-printing on my Lulzbot Mini, do a lot of development (iOS Swift, C++, JavaScript, PHP) and enjoy good designs.

My best known project is the MagicMirror, currently working on an Automatic Curtain project and previously finished the PowerSuit. Besides from my maker projects, I’ve got a few Apps in the Apple App Store.

Although this isn’t my best picture, it’s probably the most fitting image to post on the MagicMirror forum … 😂

You can find me on my blog, GitHub, Twitter and Instagram and YouTube.

Nice to meet you all! :)

I’m a first time poster, long time lurker and owner of an MM2 system. I’ve been using MM2 for about 5 or so years now, it’s morphed many times over the years to fit my needs. Currently, it runs atop a Pi3 and has time, family shared calendar, weather, dad jokes and displays a carousel of still snapshots from my outdoor cameras.

New user here and wanted to introduce myself.

I am creating a digital calendar with touch capabilities (hopefully😅).

I am enjoying the process. It has brought on quite a few firsts.

First time using a raspberry pi (PI4/4GB).
First time using GitHub.
First time spending so much time in Linux.

It will probably be my intro into CSS and woodworking as well.

Thanks for all the great work the many contributors.

May I have the link of it? So that I can visit.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would introduce myself anyway.

My name is Bryant and I run a YouTube channel called Reviews for Nerds where I talk about tech that I use in my everyday life. I stumbled across this project while looking for Raspberry Pi projects. I love to tinker and thought the idea of having a calendar hanging in the dining room that the entire family could see would be helpful.

Thanks to all the cool modules out there my simple calendar idea has morphed into a multi-slide display that shows guest wifi password QR Code, out Bring shopping list, local current weather and forecast, family calendar, news snippets, both my channel stats, and even a youtube channel dedicated to watching birds. This has been so fun I am contemplating creating a second Mirror for my office.

Thank you all for all of the hard work put into this. I have learned a lot over the time I have spent on this project and admire the effort and talent that has gone into creating this.

I’m a newbie here. I want to say hello to all and introduce myself. I hope everyone here is doing well so far.

Thank you so much!

I’m Luis, and I was born in Barranquilla, Colombia. I’m currently living Canada for about 11 years. I am 42.

I studied aeronautical engineering and I have a master in aviation management. I speak 5 languages so far. I work as a Reliability Analyst in the aerospace industry.

I started using MagicMirror in 2020 as a hobby, to learn a bit of coding. Now with all the support of the community, I have a dashboard for me and my family at home. It works as an agenda, I check my car information, music playing at home, the bus schedule, a camera and even sport results.

I’ll leave some pictures soon in “Show my mirror”.

Greetings,
Luis

I’m also very new to the Magic Mirror and loving the learning curve.
I’m 54 and live in Hertfordshire UK with my wife n growing kids.
I used to be a toolmaker, so have always loved making anything.
I used to run a Drone business a few years ago, but now have slowed down and enjoy 3D printing and designing and making things I need.
I’m really loving making this mirror and working out what modules I want to add.
I’m just hoping the modules keep evolving as it’s such a shame when they stop.
I hope to start to learn in the new year how to code and maybe come up with my own one day.
Loving this community and the support it brings🙏
Boys & their Toy’s !

My son made me one about 7 yrs ago but it got a corrupt card. He wasn’t able to replace it so I took it in to the geek squad as they said they could program it for me. After approximately 3 days later I got it back but nowhere near what I wanted.
Sooooo, I read some stuff, looked around, sat down and put it together. I’ve had a lot of help from the forum which I am very grateful for.
This will probably be my only project into coding, but it has been interesting and educational.

My name is Greg from North Carolina, US and I’m totally new to Magic Mirror. I’m familiar with Raspberry Pi but this is my first go into this world. I bought a Vilros Magic Mirror and trying to to figure out how to install Magic Mirror on my Raspberry Pi. Hoping to find some introductory tutorials on here. Any help is appreciated!! Looking forward to learning a lot!

I am Sandra, nearly 60 years old and living in Germany. Few days ago I found this project and I love it. Yesterday I did my first steps with MagicMirror. Therefor I am using a Raspi3 B+ and still an older 24" Full HD Display.
I got it running and made first adjustments of the existing modules to dig in. Well, it´s not realy trivial for an old woman but I think I will get it.

Many thanks to all participants for this amazing project.

Kind regards
Sandra
