This is finally getting close to being done - it has given me a lot of headaches this week!

Y'all. #Christmas in #Texas is WILD.

From my local FB Marketplace

As a dad, I cannot condone the selling of tools for this purpose.

I'm listing my MK3S for sale with a heavy heart. It has served me well, though!

Finally got some denser RGB LED strips in, and while I'm not sure they're brighter, they're more fun.

Still more experimenting to do!

This long.

Proof-of-concept of a thing that's been in my head for years. Maybe more to come?

'tis the season of:
"What kind of clothes should I pack?"
"Yes."

One of the more ludicrous (but delightful) boards I was given at #Supercon was this one - the CapKey. It's a capacitive-touch keyboard the size of a keycap.

Would tag the maker, but can't seem to find him!

Not a bad #Supercon haul, including some wonderful #SAO boards from some wonderful people!

In #Florida, it's illegal to not #vaccinate your dog, cat, and/or ferret. It's considered by law to be animal cruelty.

Not vaccinating your children, however, is "doing your own research".

Will I be able to cram this all into a box and integrate it before @hackadayofficial.bsky.social #supercon?

Maybe!

A little #RaspberryPiPico project with a DAC for sound effects, some lights, and a PIR for motion sensing.

Should be "fun" for the trick-or-treaters on #halloween!

This is mostly a thought experiment, and LEDs have long been used as useful indicators in oscillator circuits, but LED noodles can be a useful tool to help "see" what's happening in a circuit.

Finally getting the #halloween decor sorted...

It's *my* car now, buddy...

(Yes, this is an invasive #brown #anole #lizard, and there's a constant back and forth war between them and the native green anoles)
