It's 10:12 AM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thanks for being here with me. I know there's so much going on in the world and it's a heavy weight to bear; not to mention your personal struggles.
We're all pulling for you.

What an awesome way to start the week! Thanks so much @todbot and @prcutler for talking about our kits (opening the episode, even!) and there was so much other good stuff - ways to program microcontrollers from assembly to C to arduino to various python methods, 3D printing with Bambu printers (I have an X1C), synth stuff, and more! Check out The Bootloader podcast!

H/t to Kevin Cappuccio for this clip of @maketvee talking about a cool new modular PCB project that @chipperdoodles designed and will be selling on @crowdsupply . I love the idea of an extendable modular wearable system, and, when it comes out, I am planning to use it to (finally) learn @kicad so I can design a faceplate for it. https://www.youtube.com/live/BG1bW7P5s44?si=88okrWd5Px99cz3F&t=1886

I managed to snag an Emotiscope by @lixielabs and it's really fun to watch the Spectronome pattern as it tries to find the beat as the music changes!

I don’t know who recently talked about our SMT garden soldering kit, but thank you! We’ve got a bunch of orders for it this week. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a kit designed to help you learn how to surface mount solder and get a lot of practice doing it! It features beautiful artwork designed by @Leeborg and you get to populate your flowers with the colors of your choice because we give you a lot of LEDs in the kit.
Hey friends: it can be hard for us to keep up with everything and everyone and all the problems but you're not giving up or letting apathy win: you're still showing up and doing what you can and I appreciate you for that.
Keep fighting to help #MakeKindnessNormal
It's 10:17 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.

I got to meet him at the first KiCon in Chicago.
