Every day with our friends and loved ones is a treasure; please don't forget this simple fact.
Remember that you are someone's treasure. And your own treasure.
Be good to yourself and each other; it's a lot out there right now.

I've redesigned my 86mm Fibonacci128 to use SK9822-EC20 HDR addressable RGB LEDs! I have a small batch of four available, if anyone's interested.
These can be driven with a #PixelBlaze, but I don't have a fully-assembled option for that yet. Hopefully soon.
I've updated my @tindie store listing, but can't change the title without breaking the (longer SEO) product link: https://www.tindie.com/products/19486

Video of a completed LED matrix pendant. Even though the matrix is shorter than the display surface, diffusion through the translucent cover spreads out the light over most of the front pendant face, for a nice effect.
If you find yourself a smart person in an industry of smart people you may not know how to stand out from the crowd and get noticed; may I suggest you try kindness?
People remember kindness more than they remember smart anyway.
Make people feel appreciated and heard.
@freeschool sure; we will work something out

Making some cheap and (relatively) easy LED matrix pendants using Lolin C3 mini boards flashed with WLED and soldered to (Lolin's) 8x8 RGB shield. I 3D printed cases with translucent lids and holes for the power wires to form the necklace "chain" that connects to a behind-the-neck battery holder.

BRB gonna form a femme maker band called Rage Against Gatekeeping. I call dibs on screaming grunge-style vocals slightly off key. Who’s in?
@freeschool this week has been booked solid but I'll see about something this weekend.
@freeschool I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for.
@freeschool I send these out whenever the feeling strikes me; I don't schedule these because I want them to be more authentic.

Behold, my synchronized #PixelBlaze powered wall! 🤩
From left to right: 32cm Fibonacci512, 50cm Fibonacci1024, 39cm Fibonacci Flower by @maketvee, 31cm Hilbert curve panel by @ItsMrJP.
PixelBlaze by @wizard is doing all of the synchronization work here. Each piece has its own PixelBlaze and pixel map. The F1024 is set as the leader, the rest as followers, all configured in the web app settings.
If you could see yourself the way we see you - you would love yourself the way we love you.
We love you.
A gentle reminder my friend: the world is a little more beautiful with you in it.
Thanks for being here with me.
