Welcome to geekabit.nl, my personal website where I share my hobbies and projects. As a curious mind and avid learner, I enjoy exploring a variety of interests, from designing electronics and writing code, to transcribing songs and playing music.

In 2016 I started this website as a place to document my projects and music and share those with like-minded people. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, I hope you'll find something here to inspire and entertain you.

Hacking away at Tkkrlab

One of my main interests is tinkering and making, and I've created a diverse portfolio of projects since I was old enough to wield a screwdriver. These range from electronics to woodworking, from trivial to challenging, from single-afternoon projects to multi-year ones. Results vary from some brilliant pieces to spectacular failures, but I love all of them equally. Check out the projects to discover something that captures your interest.

Bass tabs

Playing my new bass guitar

As you might (or might not) know, I'm a bass player. Currently I'm band-less, so I mostly play along with other people's music. For many well-known songs it's easy to find good bass tabs online, however that's not always so with lesser-known songs. That's why I've started transcribing songs I like, that didn't have a proper bass tab available on the internet.

For many years I've owned a melodeon, but only played it sporadically. Recently, however, I've started playing a bit more more seriously.

Project ideas

Brainfart, lol

A collection of creative, unusual, and occasionally questionable ideas that rattle around in my ADHD brain. I can dream up new projects far faster than I can execute them, so most of these will never be built — at least not by me, but the future has a way of catching up with my ideas. These are all here for your viewing pleasure, and you’re welcome to incorporate any of them into your own project ideas.
