It is time. I was going to hold off, release in bulk. When all were ready. Stina suggested an advent calendar. And I try to heed her wisdom.

Marc Lainez gave us this fantastic start on his teams work on The Nerves Car.

this book is not easily quotable since it builds layered arguments based on analysis of historical critics (incl their many failings) but i finally found a good layup

@gadgetoid.com is there no datasheet PDF for only the Pico W?
Your lovely picow points to this datasheets.raspberrypi.com/picow/pico-w... which resolves to the Pico 2 W. Maybe it doesn't matter?
Just figured I'd holler in case it helps :)

Now in Home Assistant. My office Walking Pad. Which should save me from the atrocious app and let me collect the usage and hopefully motivate me to use it more :D

Ordered an adapter that _might_ let me bring the home security system that came with the house into Home Assistant. Mostly to get the data of the presence/movement sensors. PIR is it?
Anyway. This stuff is .. engaging.

If you or the ones you love need Elixir, Erlang, Phoenix, Nerves or Ash shirts for their various end-of-year gifty celebrations (including but not limited to Christmas). We have restored US shipping as best we could. The shirt department says order before 4th of December.

I updated the SuperSonic example to include synths, samples and FX and a fun playful interface.
SuperSonic is my port of SuperCollider’s extremely powerful scsynth engine to Web AudioWorklets so it can run in the browser.

After eight amazing years at SmartRent, I'm moving on. It's hard to say how much I've enjoyed the people and tech from scrappy startup to now. I now have an opportunity to focus on Nerves and some random ideas I've been wanting to explore forever. Also looking to catch up with Elixir friends again!

Starting a site from scratch with Hugo is so bad. But they offer a single binary and I can ride that binary off into the sunset.
Generating a default site and default theme is an index page with a 404. I will grit my teeth and make it work. I have no shits to give and my wife needs a website.

This post inspired me to write a Typst-based alternative to @derrickreimer.com's OG-Image that you can deploy together with your Phoenix app.
So, introducing: OGI!
