MomBoard eInk Display for a Parent With Amnesia

Jan Miksovsky, on jan.miksovsky.com:

Today marks two years since I first set up an e-ink display in my mom’s apartment to help her live on her own with amnesia. The display has worked extremely well during those two years, so I’m sharing the basic set-up in case others find it useful for similar situations.

Touching geeky story. Interesting in multiple levels: hardware, software and use-case. Was a bit surprised he didn’t look for an existing webapp (Trello?), but can understand how he’d prefer to own the whole stack.
