@ShaulaEvans excellent!
Hey friend. Did you forget to eat a meal today?
I did!
Make sure you get enough water to drink too! (I did! Kidney stones made me very water conscious)
Be good to yourself.

@horse oh; did you like my opening joke?
It made me giggle at least.
@horse I like to explain the HOW and WHY of the process so people know what to look for as they learn.
@horse I was super excited but huge work meeting today with multiple demos so here I am...
@horse me too but I made y'all a video!
Good morning gorgeous! How are you today?
Big day today; let's go get this together! You got this!

Wearable maker fam - Reinvented Magazine, a non-profit working on expanding gender equity in STEM is holding their first STEM fashion show fundraiser and are looking for STEM inspired wearables to auction to support their programs! Their programs include princesses with power tools, the first print magazine featuring women and non-binary folk in STEM and they create free STEM resources for educators of Title 1 schools!
If you'd like to donate your work, please hmu. I'm at Teardown all weekend 💜
Today can be a complicated day for many; please keep in mind that some folks are having a different type of day then typical.

Attending a panel at #opensauce featuring @Jorvon_Moss and some other YouTube robot builders. Jayy is looking snazzy wearing his robot Digit and the clock jacket I pimped out for him!
@joeycastillo @crowdsupply of course it was worth it!
Sounds like a fantastic day.
Have you ever given a hug that saved a life? Some other small act of kindness that helped someone through a tough time?
Most times we never know how deep an impact we've had; sometimes we get to learn later.
Be kind; you never know how you might help someone.

A new Katz Creates video is up, featuring #PixelBlaze by @wizard and the same 1mm XingLight #RGBLEDs that I use in my tiny builds!
I love how they jump in to new projects with both feet, show their mistakes along the way, and share their process.

I received another batch of variations of this PCB designed using @kicad and @stargirl's Gingerbread! I'll have a bunch of these to give away at @crowdsupply #Teardown2024 Conference June 21-23 in Portland, Oregon.

Teardown is approaching! I thought I'd tell you more about the talk I'm giving, so I'm starting a 🧵 : (separate thread on the workshop coming soon too!)

@DaveMWilburn @carnage4life I appreciate your kind words and endorsement! :-) I'm just trying to make this a better place to be; after all I hang out here!
Some of y'all are out there #adulting even though you're tired, it hurts, you're not feeling like it and I just wanted to say I see you; you got this, you're not alone!
Keep kicking ass!
