The Raspberry Pi Bucket List

I promised a list of projects I’d like to pursue. Consider this Part 1 in a list of projects I will be documenting.

The Tiny Compute Engine

Items on this list will involve using the RasPi as, unbelievably, a computer! To that end, we’ll explore how to create:

  1. A RasPi Kiosk – for browsing the web with minimal fuss.
  2. The Home Server – storage and printing wirelessly from anywhere in the house
  3. VPN Proxy – securing your communications
  4. THE SWARM! – What happens when tiny computers meet clustered computing? THE SWARM! happens…

Once I’ve collected enough RasPi machines to create THE SWARM! we can explore all kinds of new projects, like exploring Tiny Data with Hadoop, and maybe bake a Parallel Pi.

We’ll also look at some other things like home automation and security, as well as RFID and NFC.

All of these projects will be subject to my ability to acquire necessary hardware. That will likely push some projects into the background for a bit. But if anyone wants to make a donation for the cause, feel free to get in touch.
