Been meaning to share images of this gorgeous piece that @maketvee made. It's hard to communicate how lovely it really is IRL.
@joeycastillo hawt....

Tumbling toward the finish on Sensor Watch. I couldn’t order the last parts for this manufacturing run until I tested the new crystal and load capacitors. This time I’m using a GPS-disciplined oven controlled crystal oscillator, a frequency counter, and a n 8 Hz output from the real-time clock. Ideally I would like for this number to read 8.000000000 Hz precisely — but being off by 2.4 parts per million isn’t exactly a *bad* start. Trying again…
Today is a great day to tell someone that they rock and how much you appreciate having them in your life.
(If you're reading this: I appreciate you! You rock!)

How many times do you run DRC on your boards before generating your Gerbers? 😵🥴😵💫

The jumperless breadboard is now a real thing you can have!
And most importantly, they come with a glittery pink USB Mini cable.
Jumperless is up in my Tindie store here (or make one yourself, it's all open source):

Is this the world's first RGB breadboard powered with #Pixelblaze by @wizard? 😁
Jumperlux by @ArchiteuthisFlux: https://www.tindie.com/products/architeuthisflux/jumperlux
A simpler, passive version of their impressive, truly Jumperless breadboard: https://github.com/Architeuthis-Flux/Jumperless
It has 80 WS2812C-2020 addressable RGB LEDs, one under each row of the custom, nylon SLS 3D printed breadboard. It also has custom breadboard spring clips with solderable tabs on the bottom.

Blinky was so stoked on their first hike yesterday that they begged to do another one. OK Blinky, let’s get ready for your first alpine high-altitude hike, we’re going to Little Lakes Valley!
Good morning beautiful; it's been a while since I last had the chance to remind you how beautiful and amazing you are.
I hope you have a wonderful day today. I'll be thinking about you.

Blinky is on their very first camping trip to the Eastern Sierra! Follow along with their adventure, they had a big day full of firsts!
Feeling a bit better today.
Closed out the $1,100 bill at the vet's office; I'm just glad I can absorb that financial hit and not panic or have to cancel my trip to DefCon to see y'all to get hugs.
Thank you for your support.
@joeycastillo I try to practice this and not take a project too far.
Sometimes I succeed.
It was a rough weekend; buried her in the family spot for our beloved pets. Did 4 loads of laundry and started cleaning the house.
Decided to wear a nice Kenneth Cole shirt today and a cowboy bebop hat.
@joeycastillo Dune remains a favorite book of mine.
It's 10:40AM and I'm glad you're alive.
Thank you for being here with me.
I love you.

@joeycastillo "I don't know how else to be" is the story of my life.
@jasoncoon and back at y'all too.
@jasoncoon (hug) Lost my constant companion of 15 years this week.
Hurts.
