Finally got around to Pixel mapping my friend's Pixelblaze-controlled Christmas tree using @themariday 's video pixel mapping tool (https://github.com/TheMariday/marimapper), and it was fantastic! I could never have mapped the 600 LEDs on this tree without it.

After talking to some friends, I've created a site where you can measure and compare your intrinsic human value (follower count) against others 😈
You can enter in your own list of semicolon-separated Mastodon users.
It's completely client-side, nothing is stored, no cookies, ads, or tracking. Uses plain old JavaScript & Bootstrap CSS.

On today's Hackster Cafe live stream with @alexglow, I demonstrated the Tarot watch face on Sensor Watch, and did a LIVE three card spread — past, present, future — for election night. Also pictured: the Sayonara Wild Hearts tarot deck I brought along, so I could draw the cards out IRL. Anyway, make of this what you will: Death, The Star, and The Hierophant. And if you missed it, you can watch the full stream here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G85LlKGHFdc
