Blinky was so stoked on their first hike yesterday that they begged to do another one. OK Blinky, let’s get ready for your first alpine high-altitude hike, we’re going to Little Lakes Valley!
Good morning beautiful; it's been a while since I last had the chance to remind you how beautiful and amazing you are.
I hope you have a wonderful day today. I'll be thinking about you.

Blinky is on their very first camping trip to the Eastern Sierra! Follow along with their adventure, they had a big day full of firsts!
Feeling a bit better today.
Closed out the $1,100 bill at the vet's office; I'm just glad I can absorb that financial hit and not panic or have to cancel my trip to DefCon to see y'all to get hugs.
Thank you for your support.
It was a rough weekend; buried her in the family spot for our beloved pets. Did 4 loads of laundry and started cleaning the house.
Decided to wear a nice Kenneth Cole shirt today and a cowboy bebop hat.
It's 10:40AM and I'm glad you're alive.
Thank you for being here with me.
I love you.

New project log on the Open Book’s @hackaday page! This one is a deep dive into four-year old miscalculations, the cost of making a gadget and the margin required to make it sustainably, and how two different versions of the Open Book have tried to thread the needle. I poured heart and soul into this one. https://hackaday.io/project/168761-the-open-book/log/221370-the-quest-for-a-sub-100-diy-e-book-reader/

What did you do today? I got to teach the First Lady of the United States how to Solder.

Mega super thanks to @MakeAugusta for these panels of Oddly Specific STEMMA-QT LCD boards! This is a new variant of the LCD FeatherWing, but instead of a Feather form factor, if has the STEMMA/Qwiic connectors that we all know and love. Testing one panel of 10 tonight that I’ll have on the Oddly Specific shop this week; after that, I plan to reach out to @adafruit to see if they want to stock them as well. We made 250 of them, which feels like a respectable first run :)

It's been awhile since I last reminded you that I love you.
I love you.
I know it's not always easy but we're not alone; we're in this together.
We got this!

Today is a fantastic day to hang with a trans friend and help her modify her PS5 controller; these things are amazing examples of engineering!
It's 12:52 PM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive.
Thanks for being here with me.

Working on the LED cuff bracelet design. Trying different sizes and shapes for different sized wrists. I plan to add a few more components to the LED matrix for wearable safety and convenience in the next set of prototypes, but I think the structural part of the design is almost done. It's fun to try them all out in #pixelblaze follower mode!
Today is one of those days where I am filled with so much appreciation for the amazing people I have in my life and I just want to say thank you for being here with me.
It's been awhile since I last reminded you that I love you.
I love you.
Remember it's still Rather a Lot out there and it has been that way for a LONG time now.
Be kind to yourself and each other.

I'm sitting down to assemble the LED box kit from @alpenglow, which I plan to use to store LED jewelry. The pieces are cut from cedar veneer, and they smell surprisingly good!
