The switcher allows you to plug three devices into your TV or monitor through one HDMI port -- useful if your display only has one HDMI input.
As an added bonus, the switcher requires no power (for the most part) and will automatically switch to the active input.

He is one of the 14 total speakers at Big Omaha, a yearly entrepreneur conference put on by Silicon Prairie News that Forbes this year highly recommended.
I was fortunate to secure an interview with Ryan and get his thoughts on the Big Omaha conference, the importance of company culture, Method's new bottles made from ocean plastic, his company's new U.S.-based factory and more.

Filmed using an original GoPro Hero in conjunction with a custom-designed printer mount and case that allowed for constant, stable and uninterrupted time lapsing of prints.
[I'll upload the .stl files to Thingiverse when they're ready. Still workin' out a few kinks.]
As of this video's release, this print is the largest and most detailed one I've been able to get from the printer so far through calibration. There are a few issues, most notably at the top of the tower, but they should be resolved through further calibration and testing.

The device aims to transform any "standard" TV with an HDMI port into a smart TV.
For $35 Chromecast is significantly cheaper than an Apple TV or Roku box, but it has a few flaws that that prevent it from being the godsend everyone was hoping for.
