#ByteJamuary 6: Fifty stories tall. Striding through the land...

#ByteJamuary 4: "Sin and Cos - Magic? No, Even Better: Trigonometry!"

Absolute heroes.

Some more movement on the @pimoroni.com Presto calendar sketch:
- Connects to WiFi and NTP Sync.
- Time in the bottom right.
- Screen dims after 30s - touch to wake.
- Basic PoC Google Calendar integration (the number on each day indicates the event count).
