Hey there friend; has anyone taken a moment to remind you just how beautiful, smart, funny, and amazing you are lately‽
Because it's absolutely true. I took a poll and the results are in and it was unanimous.

Measuring the current draw of the LED cuff bracelet is validating my tendency to hoard cables and adapters.
@joeycastillo congratulations!
@joeycastillo is that Sputnik?

The SunLED XZMDKCBDDG45S-9 RGB Reverse Mount LED is great. It's the best low power reverse mount RGB LED available on the market today. In this episode we review the entirety of the SunLED XZMDKCBDDG45S-9 Datasheet.

It's alive! Still need to sew on the eyes that are currently taped on, clean up the wiring, and map the pixels, but bioluminescence, eat your heart out!
@joeycastillo I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this stuff.
@joeycastillo I love making curved traces!
@joeycastillo those fine pitch parts can be really hard.
I have a friend (who I have worked for and trust) who's looking for advice/help with creating a windows driver for a piece of hardware he's making (USB/WiFi).
Have you written a modern NDIS layer Windows driver for Win7-10?
This is a paying gig. DM me for details.

Working on a more durable LED cuff bracelet design (original on right, new version on left) is the perfect chance to check out the new network sync feature that @wizard added to the #pixelblaze controller. Verdict: it is AMAZING!!! 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
I'm heading up to Thotcon this weekend for the first time; who's going to be there and what advice do you have for this con?
Today can be a difficult day for many people. Please remember that and treat each other with care today.

Do you have LED problems? We definitely have #ledproblems. And now, we have something NEW in the shop to help - meet Blinky the WS2812 LED! They're here to help in the form of a box that can hold your 13cm reels and lots of misc LEDs! It wouldn't be an Alpenglow kit if it didn't also have a circuit, so we've provided 3 self-blinking single-color LEDs (one each RGB for each die in a WS2812), wires, and a battery so you can make Blinky properly light up. Check it out! https://www.alpenglowindustries.com/store/p53/Blinky_LED_Box_Kit.html#/
