OH MY GOD Y'ALL, I left it all on the field for this one. The second business post on the Patreon, and it's FREE FOR ALL, no pledge required. In which I break down the economics of the Oddly Specific Daybook, explain inventory and COGS, introduce the cash flow statement and reference both the Underpants Gnomes and the Wu-Tang Clan. I promise that if you aspire to make and sell objects, it's worth your while. https://www.patreon.com/posts/77787904

We had such a good time with Alessandro, Anna, and Giuseppe from @arduino on the stream today, and special thanks for hanging out with us late so we could see the magic of the blinking LED! Stay tuned over the next few days for the highlight clips and audio as a podcast and a coupon code!

In case you missed our post yesterday, we’re stoked to be live-streaming with folks from @arduino tomorrow and we’ll be soldering up one of the new Make Your UNO kits! Special early time of 9am Pacific! https://youtu.be/3i50TqNwNSE
@joeycastillo that sounds scarily familiar...
Today is a wonderful day to tell someone that you appreciate them, that you admire them, that you look up to the example they set for you.
(Not me; I get that enough.)
@xchido I had been using the same $20 radio shack multimeter I got as a kid; it was definitely time for an upgrade, and that one is designed for the work I do.
It's quite lovely.
@dr_a I just did a desoldering job recently and then tried a similar one now and WOW is this much faster.
I bought myself a @hakkousa desoldering gun and I gotta say it's absolutely fantastic and I wish I could have afforded it years ago:

@alyssam_infosec 10 amps minimum? What's the maximum?

OKAY! After folks expressed an interest, I put some of these Oddly Specific Daybooks on the Oddly Specific shop. Order today and I'll ship them tonight; depending where you are, you could have one in hand by the weekend. It's also just $8 plus shipping — cheap! https://shop.oddlyspecificobjects.com/products/the-oddly-specific-daybook
It's 12:08 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thanks for being here with me.
Together we can make it.

We are soooo excited about the #soldersesh this Thurs at 9am Pacific! It's all about @arduino and the new Make Your UNO kit - we'll be talking with Alessandro Ranellucci, Anna Vigano, and hopefully Giuseppe Pinto as well about the development of the kit, history of the Uno, and all things Arduino. And I'll be soldering up an Uno while doing it! Note the special EARLY time since they're joining us live from Italy. Boosts appreciated, see you there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i50TqNwNSE

Did you know that you can create nested zone fills out of polygons on KiCAD? #ElectronicsMastodon
@trinsec for real; someone should tell him to just pay an artist to make the images he needs to see.
@trinsec shoes I believe.
@synackpse apparently to shut him up about it.
@thegpfury yeah, but am I wrong‽
