I have been putting this project off lately for a few reasons. Mostly due to getting used to a new job, lack of sleep, lack of time, and the biggest one: Lack of proper hardware. I have the Raspberry Pi Zero, an HDMI to DVI cable, a monitor with DVI, a wireless keyboard with touch pad that works with the Pi, a USB OTG adapter, a simple LCD module, soldering equipment, everything needed to prototype the hardware, and SD cards to write the images for the Raspberry Pi Zero.
I am missing an HDMI adapter, a proper power supply, a USB hub, epoxy putty to make the case, battery and charging circuitry, and the knowledge to program this thing properly. I will try to order the missing hardware tomorrow when I get paid. I am hoping to get the hardware together by next week so I have a stand alone device, even if the software isn't ready. The software roadblocks will be significant for me, but I know I can tackle the hardware pretty quickly, so I am just going to focus on that for now.

The Raspberry Pi Zero Version 1.3 and the Mini HDMI to HDMI adapter have been ordered from adafruit.com and are on the way! Will be picking up a few more things tomorrow. Bought the Zero now, instead of waiting until tomorrow as they have been out of stock for quite some time and I don't feel like waiting for new stock to arrive. Saves me a trip to Microcenter in Cleveland as well.
