I just received parts made at https://www.shapeways.com and they turned out great.
@mike I've used a lot of these. They are very compact! Just keep in mind the rated life is only 30 mating cycles. Usually they last longer if you are careful.
You can get prefabricated cables to avoid having to find a crimp tool: https://www.molex.com/en-us/part-list/power-and-signal-cable-assemblies?productNameList=PicoBlade&physical.circuitsLoaded=4
I haven't used KiCad (@kicad) in years and KiCad 9 is making me really happy. As a disgruntled Altium user at ${dayjob} it's a breath of fresh air. Fast, capable, seeming decent library approach, and best of all FOSS.
USB-C "Fixer" for Missing CC Pins 
We have a few devices missing the 5.1K resistors on the CC pins, which frustratingly don't work with Mac computers or certain smart USB-C power supplies. To solve this, we designed a small adapter that combines our sunken USB socket (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6050) and USB plug breakout (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5978).
@whitequark Saving all those design decisions for someone else 
Pretty happy with my #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer. Was able to just plug and play to start working on an I2C device using the scripting feature. Can't wait to have a reason to hack on some custom interfaces too.

I’m happy with my new #pinebookpro ! There is so much to learn but my friend helped me a ton. I loaded and opened #bespokesynth but I don’t know anything about it, just excited that there might be a path to personal creation through others’ honest work.

PETCO CEO: What's it about?
ME: It's sort of a chews your own adventure.
PETCO CEO: Get out of my office.

@namark They sure did. I miss my Thinkpad...
A redeeming quality of QWERTY is that you can type hexadecimal numbers with your left hand on the home row and your right hand on the num pad.
Really enjoying LibreCAD (https://librecad.org). It took about an hour to get used to the UI but after some experimentation I'm efficiently floorplanning my garage! Open source software of this quality always blows me away. #foss #cad

I prefer thoughtful discussions or blog posts over videos. Looking forward to seeing what this corner of the Internet looks like.
