Hello! I'm a maker, LED enthusiast, electronic artist, software developer, 3D printer, laser cutter, and hardware tinkerer. I sell and share what I make as Evil Genius Labs: evilgeniuslabs.org Everything you see here is currently available in my store: lectronz.com/stores/evilg...

Coming Monday on a new episode of The CircuitPython Show: Meet River Wang, creator of the #CircuitPython Online IDE. River shares his motivations, its features, and more. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

New blog post - The Zoom Podtrak P4Next - my first impressions and where I threaten @todbot.com with having to record in person some day: New blog post: The Zoom Podtrak P4Next - www.paulcutler.org/blog/2025/11...

Just some of the cool things you can do with circremote: list files on the drive, remove files, scan the I2C bus, and test sensors without writing code. Check it out and give it a star on GitHub.

Check out the latest episode of The CircuitPython Show with guest John @romkey.com. John shares circremote, one of the neatest ways I've seen to work with a #CircuitPython device over serial or web workflow.

Just finished building a lighting system for an obsolete analyzer to be used in a sci-fi movie production. Of course it uses a bunch of @adafruit components and runs on CircuitPython. Here's the Playground note that explains the project approach: adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pa...

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming by the perimeter fence day to all who celebrate. A solemn 30 second screaming before vanishing will take place at 11am.

I'm on a podcast! Thanks very much to @paulcutler.org for having me on the CircuitPython Show to talk about circremote, a utility I recently released. Paul is a gracious host and great conversationalist; it was a lot of fun chatting with him!

I got @thebootloader.net stickers! Thanks @paulcutler.org! And they’re cat-approved (sorta, you know cats) #caturday #podcats #podcast

My Christmas present showed up a month early, the just released Zoom PodTrak P4Next. This will replace my MOTU M2 and the P4Next should give me slightly better mic quality with its built-in EQ and compressor.

Coming Monday on a new episode of The CircuitPython Show: Meet John Romkey, author of circremote, an innovative Python app to push and run code on a microcontroller running #CircuitPython. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts.

It's almost Halloween, so if you're lazy like me but still want to pretend you put in some effort, and you own a pair of @adafruit.com LED glasses, check out my firmware for them. It's got several cool modes and can optionally be controlled via Adafruit's Bluetooth Connect app!

I have episodes recorded and ready to go through the end of November for The CircuitPython Show! And even more planned. Here's a sneak peek:

Catch up on the latest episode of The CircuitPython Show with guest Noe Ruiz. Here's Noe on what inspired him to create the Layer by Layer tutorials. (And if you haven't seen them, check them out on YouTube, they're fantastic!)

I ended up ordering some 2" x 2" stickers for The Bootloader. I'll set up a form in a couple weeks where you can request them and I'll send you some for free!

I've reopened sponsorships for The Bootloader and The CircuitPython Show - more info at www.circuitpythonshow.com/pages/sponsors - All funds go to supporting the show, including podcast hosting, recording, and calendar scheduling.

Over on Mastodon, I'm running a poll as I'm toying with the idea of having a run of stickers made for The Bootloader. Would you be interested in grabbing one? hachyderm.io/@prcutler/11...

New episode of The CircuitPython Show is out! Noe Ruiz stops by and we chat all things 3D printing, from his start in design, to creating the Layer by Layer, and more. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts or visit www.circuitpythonshow.com/@circuitpyth...

Do you live in Minnesota? Are you a fan of horror? Are you a fan of physical media? Do you love intergenerational trauma and gothic folklore monsters? If so, check out the new indie horror film, DEAD MEDIA, on Oct 20th at The Parkway Theater: deadmediamoviempls102025.eventbrite.com

My wife helped hang all my autographed flats. From L to R: Lissie, Gordi, Polica, Jenny Lewis, The Staves, and Garbage.

Fire Luke Fickell. And maybe Chris McIntosh too, if he won’t. #badgers

Found a lump in my chest, so it was off to the radiologist today for an ultrasound and mammogram. Turned out to be nothing, thankfully, but making a donation to a local breast cancer foundation for those not as lucky.

Hey Minnesota: ICE is now on the ground in NE Minneapolis. See thread. Stay alert everyone!

Just working on finishing up editing episode 50(!) of The CircuitPython Show with guest John Romkey. And recording episode 51 later today.

I’m so there for a Sugar reunion www.brooklynvegan.com/is-bob-mould...

I loved this conversation with Dweezil Zappa talking vinyl, Edward Van Halen, and his dad, Frank. I had no idea that Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water was about Franz Zappa. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U5G...

Minneapolis friends, it is really disturbing to me how many signs I see iin support of Becka Thompson. She is racist, thin-skinned, allergic to nuance and deep thinking, and has proved herself to be utterly ineffective and bullheaded on the Park Board. Why would she be any different on City Council?

Coming Monday on a new episode of The CircuitPython Show: Noe Ruiz joins the show and we talk all things 3D printing. Here's Noe on how it all started:

🎉🧩 Castopod’s official plugin repository is live! The new plugin ecosystem for podcasting is ready: discover, install, and share plugins for the upcoming v2. Learn more at blog.castopod.org/official-cas...

Flipped the switch and now my home page and blog are running mkdocs-material instead of Hugo. It might not be quite as pretty as it was, but it's more usable and maintainable. And it's Python! www.paulcutler.org

WIP: This week for my @circuitpython.org game running on the @adafruit.com #FruitJam, I worked on some physics, created a ship graphic, added text to the display and updated the screen graphics. I think it is coming along nicely.

New episode! @todbot.com and @paulcutler.org chat about speeding up your Raspberry Pi, a couple product reviews, synths, and more. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts or visit www.thebootloader.net/episodes/ep0...

Spent the day porting my website from Hugo to mkdocs-material. It's going to break a few things, like the RSS feed, but it will be worth it long term I think.

Apparently checking once an hour makes the site think I'm a bot now. But prices have come down from $120 to $80 with 4 hours to go until showtime. Still more than I'm willing to pay, though.

I keep refreshing the First Avenue website hoping they release some tickets for tonight's sold out Garbage show.

Coming Monday on a new episode: @todbot.com shares his impressions of the Framework 12 Laptop -

Recording a total of 4 podcast episodes this week - two more today, including a new episode of @thebootloader.net coming your way this Monday.
