Bluebird Labs was founded by a designer of embedded battery powered devices. Prior to Bluebird, he often found himself in need of tools that would enable him to build better products more efficiently. It was unfortunate, that often times these tools were too expensive, so began the creation of Bluebird Labs. Bluebird’s goal is to develop tools that are within the reach of the everyday engineer/designer/tinkerer. They are entirely open source, encouraging you to take what they have built and improve upon it.
