While working on the TACPAD project, I had grand ideas in mind. I outgrew the original project perimeters and soon realized that this was much bigger than just a wrist-gadget. The TACPAD project turned into a full-body system, with modular peripherals, and a lightweight version that is every bit as portable as a small backpack. I worked with my prototyping materials and discovered what works, and what needs to be changed. I started working with solutions companies on custom built systems. I spent a lot of time and money only to figure out that I couldn't cram all of these features into such a small device. (If I tried to, it would have been no different than a smartphone on your arm, which you can easily do with duct tape)

I am now pursuing a WAY BIGGER PROJECT, with the help of some great friends! I'm talking about a mobile computing system on steroids that goes wherever you go. Tons of power, plenty of developer-friendly goodies, an intuitive open-source Linux based operating system, and best of all: Scalability.

What I mean by that, is the new project isn't just one size, it's as big as it needs to be, it's as small as you need it to be. It's environment proof, life-proof, darn near foolproof! And best of all, its designed with the end-user in mind. That's right. I'm making sure that this is only a starting point. I'm creating a market where people just like you can design all kinds of useful add-ons to enhance the system. I lay the framework, you build it from there.

Now, I really can't do this without you. I'm spending a lot of time and money on this mobile modular computer system, and I can only work on it at a snail's pace without your support. I'm humbly asking that you donate anything you can to help me make this dream a reality. We need this project to go viral, share it with friends and family, spam forums, get the word out to people! Projects like this make history. And history shows us, most great things are not accomplished alone. Thank you for bearing with me, even when the updates went away.

Sincerely, Santiago Amavisca

P.S. More updates will clear up just what I have in mind, please bear with me.
