You all probably need more LED jewelry, because everyone does, so pick up some great pieces from @alpenglow.bsky.social at Maker Faire Bay Area.
We’ll be bringing all of these to Maker Faire Bay Area next weekend! They can be finished as a necklace, fish hook earrings, or lobster claw earrings for hooking onto hoops, your choice. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry #makerfaire #mfba2025 #makerfairebayarea

My locksport club met up for the second time last night. We
spent the evening trying shims and trying out picks we haven't used before. Looking forward to the next meetup I'm planning for August!

Since the last update on my 2025 goal bingo sheet, I have performed in an aerial show, reviewed a lot more CFP submissions, and entered a 3D model design contest. It's frustratingly slow going lately, but that's because I am making incremental progress on some of the bigger goals.

I understand everyone wants to talk about AI this year at conferences but at least fucking edit your CFP submissions to not be a copy-paste of what the AI told you to tell us about itself.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more
