I'm going to shift this account over to leds.social soon - this is an official head's up.
I'll shift everything as smoothly as I can.
@BathysphereHat if they reach even one person who needed it then I consider them to be a huge success. :-)
Thank you for letting me know it landed well today.
@XenoPhage I am just trying to help folks through these difficult times as best I can.
Has anyone taken a moment to remind you of the simple fact of just how amazing you are? How nice it is to have you around?
It's true and I fear you're not told often enough.
It's 11:31 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thank you for being here with me.
@MakeAugusta just need to design a retro badge around that connector and bundle that with them.
@MakeAugusta one of many reasons I'm proud to know y'all.
@CarmenSD11235 same!
This was a "meets expectations" for myself.
I have been kicking all kinds of ass at work. :-D
I got my 90 day review yesterday; I'll give you three guesses on how I scored. :-D

Three years ago, in 2020, Coca Cola gave us a literal ton of plastic for making face shields. We worked with Caskets and More of Augusta and made 1000s of face shields with it.

I was riffing with my roommates about robots — the idea of a self driving car leading us to a self-riding bike, a self-reading book, a self-touching field of grass — when I suddenly remembered this Perry Bible Fellowship collab that’s not really online anywhere. Enjoy.

We’re moving so you can actually see our LEDs! Thanks to our friend JP at Hot Air Collective for sharing his black tent! #lamakerfaire
Today is a day of fun pranks, not fun pranks, "you really shouldn't have" pranks, and other shenanigans.
Please remember to leave room for yourself and each other today. Let's be as kind as we can; you don't know what someone else is dealing with today.

Three years ago, we shut everything down and started making face shields for the local hospitals. None of the several hospitals and nursing homes had face shields at this time. We produced, with Caskets and More of Augusta (https://www.candmaugusta.com/), more than 2,500 face shields and shipped many to other city’s for their hospitals and nursing homes.
