Sometimes I stop and marvel that I get to be friends with you.
I'm a lucky guy.
Today is a great day to send a note of appreciation to someone.
I sent one to my dentist and one to a webcomic artist. Who will you send yours to?
(Not me; I get those from time to time already)

It's Friday! Let's do something fun together: pick someone and do a a random act of kindness!
If you feel comfortable report back here with the results.
Let's see if we can spread a little good in an exhausting world together!
#MakeKindnessNormal
A gentle reminder that if it feels like a lot lately it IS a lot and it HAS been a lot for a long time now.
It's okay to feel the weight but know that you're not alone and we will get through this together.
I'm pulling for you.

Hey friend; I'm thinking about you tonight.
Take good care of yourself for me OK? I'll do the same. I've had plenty of water and I have wings coming out of the oven soon.
Be good.
#MakeKindnessNormal
Today can be a rough day for many folks; while we are joyous for our happy friends please make space for our friends who are struggling, including yourself if necessary.
You are loved and worthy of love.

It's 1:26 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thank you for being here with me. Together we will make it through.

I've reworked the brilliant translucent 3D printed snap diffuser cover design from @geekmomprojects for use on the smaller 1" Fibonacci128, and published it here: https://www.printables.com/model/754372-1-fibonacci128-snap-diffuser-cover
It's shown here next to the laser etched and cut black LED acrylic diffuser.

My article about building your own soft companion bot is now out in @makemagazine Vol 88. I'm especially proud to be published along with some of the absolutely coolest makers I know. @charlyn has a uniquely gorgeous pixel clock on the cover, @LaserMistress built a clever and disruptive portable graffiti projector, and @Leeborg has an amazing functional scaled-up Ouija board. I'm in great company!

Here are a few photos from the first soldering workshop we held in our space a week ago Thursday - it was so much fun! Robyn and I had a great time, the attendees were all smiling and delighted with their soldering, it was such an energy boost! Our next one is Sat Feb 10th, we’re in San Luis Obispo, check our website and pinned post for more details and to sign up!

Setting up my wearables installation with the CETI Institute in the Lloyd center (old GAP storefront) for the Portland Winter Lights Festival. Just need to clean up and tape down the power wires now. There are lots of other people setting up awesome original illuminated projects in the same space. If you're in the area, come by and check it out sometime this weekend. Info here: https://ceti.institute/event/constellations-2024/
