My thoughts on the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 dock
My name is Andy and I make lots of random stuff. Read more about me on the About page.
WELCOME to the 2026 Edition of StuffAndyMakes.com!
I've gone back to my roots and actually coded this site and now host it on the cloud. No CMS, no platform, just pure TypeScript, JSX, HTML, CSS, and cloud stuffs.
If you'd like to celebrate yourself, click the icon in the upper-right of the page up there.
I am using the super-cool Input font for this site. If you write code and you want to use it for your code editor, grab it here: https://input.djr.com/
If you find bugs or typos and you have time, drop me a contact form visit and let me know. Much of this website data have now gone through four or more migrations, so I'm pretty sure I missed something in this latest move.

Technology is super cool and it shouldn't care who makes it that way. Women/Girls in Tech.
Global non-profit dedicated to inspiring women to excel in technology careers. From their home page: "Since 2011, Women Who Code has been where women in tech find their people, the mentors who push them forward, the peers who get it, and the network that opens doors."
I was sent a link to this article on Reviews.com. It has some great content on the subject of girls in STEM, which you can jump to by clicking this link to the article. Down in the article is a pretty hefty list of links to things like scholarships, projects that encourage young girls to get into STEM, in-college programs that promote women in tech, and even a list of degrees in STEM. Check it out!
(From the article intro) “The tech industry is a sector dominated by men. You’ve probably heard about well-known tech giants like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg, but you might not know about the equally impressive female tech gurus. Research shows that almost 80% of students cannot name a single famous woman working in tech. To solve this problem, we’ve got a list of the top 50 women in the tech industry you should know about!” (Thank you, Eva!)
