I was content to let this be one verse stuck in my head, but y'all made the mistake of *encouraging* me:

emotional support robot: ongoing tests. (also, as a side note, this whole vibe of random motions — sometimes blinking, sometimes tilting, always a bit stochastic — was very much inspired by @Jorvon_Moss’s talk at last year’s @hackaday Supercon)

Quick reminder that our free US shipping promo on orders over $25 ends tonight at midnight Pacific time! Use code CHEERS.
Soldering kits (or no-soldering-required kits) make great gifts! We’ve got a bunch of fun twist-together ornaments that are quick circuit projects, great for beginners or anyone who likes playing with LEDs.

Would you like to sponsor a traveling soldering roadshow? I'm talking in-person market reach to a highly technical and very niche demographic?
Available for conferences and tradeshows. #LearnToSolder

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.
