Building gadgets, riding bikes, and fighting the good fight for municipal broadband. Chip designer by day. Some days you're a mountain goat; other days you're a fainting goat. 🐐

GitHub repo for CircuitPython rubber band launcher. Cheap nylon servos jitter lots, but I cut off the servo by setting .angle to None in between detected movements. If you've got other ideas on improving, LMK. Still lots of jitter on tilt that holds heavier platform: github.com/gallaugher/j...

I broke my hand for this video.
It took me way longer to make this edit than it took @bikerglen.bsky.social to break his hand. Twice

10 years ago almost to the day, Fort Collins voted out of SB152 so they could study municipal broadband. 8 years ago, Fort Collins voted to start their municipal broadband network. Today, Fort Collins Connexion has over 23,000 customers with symmetric gigabit or faster fiber Internet connections!

The only correct answer for California and New York is to walk away from BEAD.
NY is down to <55,000 BEAD locations - of which most are now SpaceX or fixed wireless - while over a million households qualify for $15 or $20 internet under the state's Broadband Affordability Act. If Roth's "rule" stands, NY should seriously just walk away from BEAD.

170+ trick-or-treaters this year. Went through 120
Airheads and 50 Haribo gummy bear packs then started handing out snack packs of Doritos and Fritos and neighbors' leftover candy before calling it a night.
