After blocking the sweater, it nice and comfy.
If anything, I may have blocked the sleeves a little longer than needed but the important body and arm "expansion" are great.

Hackers Who Travel Lite
For those who use an iPhone or iPad and find the need to connect to a serial/UART device, the options have been slim and expensive - until now.
Using just an RP2040 Zero it's easy to connect to a serial device using an telnet app. The Telnet2Serial is just 26mm^2

Catahoula Nick likes to be ever present while keeping his distance.
You would not mistake he for the affectionate cuddly type of companion but he is faithful and always vigilant ... even as he nears his 15th birthday.

Last night I was making Mac&Cheese from scratch. I opted to add some salsa into the mix. When I was finished, I had more of the cheesy ingredients than pasta so I put the extra in a dish and popped it in the refrigerator.
It makes a wonderful spread on crackers (with a glass of red wine) 🍷

Next time you step outside, look all around. You just might see something simple catch your eye.

The long weekend ...
I prototyped a Telnet2Serial adapter for my iPad (minified version later this week).
I installed a soap dispenser kit so I feed directly from the jug and no longer refill a tiny bottle.
I made a Nordic style Santa hat (not triangular and no pompom).
I am upsizing a sweater.

From the "things my mum taught me that someday become relevant" files ... "blocking edition".
A) I like Icelandic sweaters.
B) I am not as small as I was.
C) Sometimes I find a seater I really want but it's too small.
This is where blocking comes to the rescue.
This "M" will eventually be "L". 🤓

I can't wait for the Waveshare RP2040 Zero boards to arrive. They will make for a super tiny Telnet2Serial adapter! 🤏🏼

Why did I wait so long ?! Here is a kitchen hack I wished I'd done 10 years ago.
It's a $6 kit that connects a full jug of dish soap to the soap dispenser. No more refilling the little bottle!

We have all been there. My nemesis was the MXC4005XC - a 3-axis accelerometer. (for context, the capacitor and resistors are 0603)

The all newer super affordable Telnet2Serial adapter!
This gives a telnet session bound to a serial device.
Great for IT administrators and OTG hackers!
Uses most any RP2040 board and could be made extra tiny with the Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 🤩
