In the latest episode of The CircuitPython Show, learn about circremote from @romkey.com - one of the many things it can do is clean and de-crapify your drive, removing the junk files macOS and even emacs leave.

Ok but seriously, what am I going to do with a nearly 4-foot-tall (114 cm) Cool S, I've run out of wall space for such a thing.
Do I let it into the blank wall space I keep for professional video calls? Do I mount it on the ceiling over my bed??

Nothing like making some rainbows on a rainy day. The new jig is great, swappable lower plate to fit the shape, makes soldering these up so much nicer!

Oh no! Ants got into my lab and are all over my breadboard.
Luckily, it's the species commonly found in circuit simulators to visualize current flow. They finally broke out of the simulation onto real hardware.
Good for them.

I got my SAO boards in for #SuperCon. I didn't leave enough time for revisions, so bodge wire is required. I'm just relieved it's fixable. Since SuperCon starts on Halloween this year, the "SAOuija" is nicely thematic. Still working on code to make messages settable through I2C or push buttons.

Made a 🌈 on the new #RaspberryPi 500+, and I'm not sure if ever I'll get past playing with the keyboard so I can use it for another purpose!

Just set up a small wearables exhibit for this weekend's #BayAreaMakerFaire. I'll be giving workshops today and a talk tomorrow as well, so it's going to be a (fun) busy weekend!

I don't follow sports, but have somehow ended up at a football game today (Broncos @Chargers), and I feel like it's mostly just an excuse for day drinking.
