As an engineer working day and night with robots and programs, I’m tired of being called “Cooking Disabled” by my girlfriend, so I decided to make a real Raspberry Pie using my technical ability with Raspberry Pi, on 14/3, which is called Pi Day, or also called White Day in East Asia. Wish me luck at giving my girlfriend a surprise!!!
