I really missed working on LED projects after devoting the last month to building a combat bot. Now I'm back in my comfort zone, and it feels good! @ItsMrJP had given me tiny LED rings that he and @maketvee use in their fiber optic balloon design, and I turned three of them into a flower pendant. I'm still working on building a (behind-the-neck) enclosure for the controller and battery, and making animations designed for this LED layout.

I'm going to shift this account over to leds.social soon - this is an official head's up.
I'll shift everything as smoothly as I can.
Has anyone taken a moment to remind you of the simple fact of just how amazing you are? How nice it is to have you around?
It's true and I fear you're not told often enough.
It's 11:31 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thank you for being here with me.
I got my 90 day review yesterday; I'll give you three guesses on how I scored. :-D

Three years ago, in 2020, Coca Cola gave us a literal ton of plastic for making face shields. We worked with Caskets and More of Augusta and made 1000s of face shields with it.

I was riffing with my roommates about robots — the idea of a self driving car leading us to a self-riding bike, a self-reading book, a self-touching field of grass — when I suddenly remembered this Perry Bible Fellowship collab that’s not really online anywhere. Enjoy.

We’re moving so you can actually see our LEDs! Thanks to our friend JP at Hot Air Collective for sharing his black tent! #lamakerfaire
Today is a day of fun pranks, not fun pranks, "you really shouldn't have" pranks, and other shenanigans.
Please remember to leave room for yourself and each other today. Let's be as kind as we can; you don't know what someone else is dealing with today.

Three years ago, we shut everything down and started making face shields for the local hospitals. None of the several hospitals and nursing homes had face shields at this time. We produced, with Caskets and More of Augusta (https://www.candmaugusta.com/), more than 2,500 face shields and shipped many to other city’s for their hospitals and nursing homes.
