In disc phyllotaxis, like Fibonacci256, lighting every N LEDs from the center produces a pattern. If N is from the Fibonacci sequence a spiral (or mesh of spirals) is produced because the divergence (angle of succession in a single spiral arrangement) approaches the golden ratio.

When the machines rise, we'll need the ultimate digital security to protect our physical goods. This beautiful box uses everybody's favorite - reCAPTCHA - to keep the bots OUT.

Now seeking investors!!

I have a whole pile of neat PCB rulers but The Screwler from @alpenglow is one of my favorites. It has a permanent place on my assembly workbench. I use it constantly. It has metric and freedum (imperial) units, with screw diameters, thread gauges, etc. They're also having a sale on their soldering kits, which are great.

Just finished sewing a new sling bag with a 32x18 LED matrix inside the pocket flap. The pocket flap snaps off so the matrix can be used in other designs. The #Pixelblaze controller and battery fit nicely inside the front pocket

The supplies we have been given are SO incredible. I have no words 🥹.

But we do need funds.

Why? We fund low-income babes with attending, travel, food and more.

We are finally expanding to a two-day, local, community non-burner event this Fall.

So much more!

I always invest a ton of my own funds to get us there.

It's *really* tight right now.

I've been pushing my fundraiser, but I wanna share the incredible supplies we've been given already.

From: @alpenglow, @sjpiper145 and @clomads . Also tools from @flashingjanet (who's made LED outfits for Gaga and Daft Punk, among other things).

Legends. Look them up.

Notice these are all women & queers, who did this *without me asking*, taking immense labor off of me.

Of course. I'm unsurprised, joyful, but I often cry about the complexity.
