Hey there; before I go to bed I just really needed to remind you that I love you.
I love you.
Sleep well.
Good morning gorgeous; has anyone told you how beautiful you are yet today? If not can I be the first?
It's wonderful to see you again.

Woo hoo! My first feature (non project) article for @makemagazine about three amazing teachers who run maker spaces in their schools is in the latest issue of Make, and also live online now (no paywall):

how are folks feeling about the use of #generativeAI? when is it ok to use? when is it not? what are some examples you've seen of the wrong call being made? would love to get a ton of folks' opinions so please #boost for reach! ✨💗✨
It's 10:12 AM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thanks for being here with me. I know there's so much going on in the world and it's a heavy weight to bear; not to mention your personal struggles.
We're all pulling for you.

How do we celebrate? We head to a bar and order -100 beers and the color blue.
Has anyone taken a moment today to remind you how wonderful you are?
How amazing it is to have you in our lives?
How grateful we are to have you here with us?
Thank you.

What an awesome way to start the week! Thanks so much @todbot and @prcutler for talking about our kits (opening the episode, even!) and there was so much other good stuff - ways to program microcontrollers from assembly to C to arduino to various python methods, 3D printing with Bambu printers (I have an X1C), synth stuff, and more! Check out The Bootloader podcast!

H/t to Kevin Cappuccio for this clip of @maketvee talking about a cool new modular PCB project that @chipperdoodles designed and will be selling on @crowdsupply . I love the idea of an extendable modular wearable system, and, when it comes out, I am planning to use it to (finally) learn @kicad so I can design a faceplate for it. https://www.youtube.com/live/BG1bW7P5s44?si=88okrWd5Px99cz3F&t=1886

I managed to snag an Emotiscope by @lixielabs and it's really fun to watch the Spectronome pattern as it tries to find the beat as the music changes!

I don’t know who recently talked about our SMT garden soldering kit, but thank you! We’ve got a bunch of orders for it this week. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a kit designed to help you learn how to surface mount solder and get a lot of practice doing it! It features beautiful artwork designed by @Leeborg and you get to populate your flowers with the colors of your choice because we give you a lot of LEDs in the kit.
Hey friends: it can be hard for us to keep up with everything and everyone and all the problems but you're not giving up or letting apathy win: you're still showing up and doing what you can and I appreciate you for that.
Keep fighting to help #MakeKindnessNormal
