It is, on occasion, pretty swell to send someone a message reminding them they are a force for good in your world and that you appreciate them.

Also — HOLY SHIT — @crowdsupply has Sensor Watch Lite on sale for 15% off! That's just $33 plus shipping for my board swap for the classic Casio wristwatch: the cheapest it's EVER been, by a longshot, and part of Crowd Supply's FIRST EVER Black Friday sale! (No, they did not email me about this. Yes, I would have promoted it sooner if I'd known.) Link here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/sensor-watch#products
This amazing video is a great opportunity for me to remind everyone that Making is more than just Arduino/Pi/electronics and if you think sewing is "easy" have you ever looked at how these machines actually work? https://youtu.be/RQYuyHNLPTQ There is some amazing engineering in there!
A lot of y'all are really hot and I hope you know it.

@geekmomprojects well we share a name so we'll figure out how to share a seat. ;-)
I hope y'all have a wonderful day today.
@szakib I'll do this again then most likely.
A gentle reminder: holidays can be a difficult time for folks for a wide variety of reasons.
Know that you are not alone. Know that we all benefit from having you here with us.
@geekmomprojects a spot for me? Guess I better get on a plane....
I apologize; I'm not always great at remembering to reach and and remind you that I love you.
I love you.
Why? What a silly question. Because you're worth it of course.

@MakeAugusta I'm jealous; I haven't taught anyone in too long now. A couple of months at least.

I captured this extreme closeup of a 1" Fibonacci128 and its tiny 1mm LEDs after successfully reworking and replacing a damaged LED. 🔬
Wait for it. 😁
Yes that's a human hair. Yes those bond wires inside the LEDs are even thinner.
Sorry for the shaking, my setup isn't the most solid.
It's 3:30 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thank you for being here with me.
