Glowies are now available online! This is our new line of rechargeable jewelry made out of fun LED shapes. We can make any as a necklace, earrings, or lobster claws for clipping onto hoops (great for folks who put hoops thru their gauges). www.alpenglowindustries.com/collections/...

PROMPT:
Athletes have signature shoes, guitarists have signature model guitars...

YOU - fellow electronics person - what would your signature model development board look like? MCU, form factor, sensors, etc.?

(This is not going anywhere, I'm genuinely curious)

There is a very funny, Leslie Knope-ass opportunity for this person's political opponents that would require nothing more than a Sharpie, a question mark, and an exclamation point

For the past few weeks instead of reading the news i have been making a handheld game console. It has a 1.7" display and a 400Mhz CPU. The front is a trackpad. It does not go online. It does one thing (plays Go), and hopefully does that better than anything else that fits in a coin pocket.

This project got me so jazzed on laundry that I actually got the the bottom of my bin for the first time in probably 15 years

Started the process of open-sourcing all of this last night! Still got some TODOs in the repo but it's all going up here:

Unexpected data leakage: I threw a BME680 in kid's room so we can keep better track of temps as it gets colder. This is derived from the gas sensor. Can you guess when we left our daughter in bed and when we went to go grab her in the morning?

I've had very good experiences with the common I2S (INMP441) and now PDM (MP34DT01) MEMS microphone modules, but I am left wondering: are there no unidirectional (or at least, more directional out-of-the-box) small, embeddable mics?

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Where was my invite to the meeting when we decided that it was OK to just put *mid-sentence* cuts in video. I know folks are using auto-editors and this is probably a byproduct of that but dear lord is it distracting. I would much rather hear you say "um" than fucking glitch out on screen

I have absolutely no idea what this is going to do to my server but if you would like your own command line virtual pet, simply run:

A rare practical project from me. I live in a building with ~16 units and we all share 2 washers/2 dryers. Very annoying to go all the way down to basement just to find out they're in use. So I'm putting together a low maintenance, non-invasive monitoring setup we can all use 🧵

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

You may have seen this story blowing up about Will Smith using AI to generate fake audiences to promote his latest tour, but the truth is more complicated. The audiences are real, but the footage was manipulated: first by Will Smith's team and then, without permission, by YouTube itself.

spent a bunch of time with Docker Compose for both work and non-work the past few weeks... and I really love it. I tend to do a bunch of "full stack" stuff that I run locally.
