Today @prusa3d.com released their cool new Open Community License (OCL)! To celebrate, I remixed their innovative CORE one printer shapes that they licensed under their OCL. I even remixed the OCL! Check it out makers! www.printables.com/model/152192...

This is not an open source licence. oshwa.org/resources/op...

A couple years ago we got to work with wonderful groups in Sri Lanka for an amazing conference. One of our participants put together a nice donation pool to help out our friends there impacted by the horrible flooding. Please chip in if you can! www.paypal.com/pools/c/9kV2...

New Publication! It's taken 3 years due to lots of delays from our most difficult conference we ever put on, but the Proceedings of the Third Digital Naturalism Conference are out! 300 pages of cool projects led by artists, biologists, and designers in Sri Lanka! archive.org/details/dina...

how annoying to be looking for help solving a code problem and being directed to your own article where the answer isn't

If you have a couple of bucks spare, someone who is very very cool (a friend) is organizing a fundraiser for an org that gives food to Montréalers—delivering it door to door, for those most in need. Santropol Roulant is a gift to the city, please share this fundraiser! www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donati...

My dissertation is finally published under my real name! utoronto.scholaris.ca/items/e28db9...

My new zine is about pointers. What is the point!? This is another topic I've found confusing when explained to me but easy once its presented differently. Why are people always repeating the same phrases and not explaining them? Lets explore pointers! Drop your fav pointer facts / questions here.

I did the thing! Get your ORA zines only at the Rochester Maker Faire! @openresin.org @makerfaireroc.bsky.social #3DPrinting #3DPrinter #ResinPrinting #OpenSource #Zine

Thanks to everyone who responded to this thread. I have assembled your answers in a mini Risograph printed zine. There are 150 copies !

I've somehow managed to prep these 4 zines for Expozine next weekend! Just doing a small run of each, but pretty happy with the range. You'll have to find me in person to get a copy.

I bought an unmarked cardboard tube that was calling to me at a vintage tech museum collection sale and it turned out to be this Hitachi polyester film antenna and it's so beautiful! 📻 🤩

October is blindness awareness month and you might have noticed that recently I've been talking more about vision in general lately. I'm going to answer some common questions and give you some facts. First, blindness is a spectrum. Only 10% of us see nothing, most have residual/some usable vision

Doing course prep at the cafe like a normal person

Ive spent so much time working with tech people doing tech things on tech deadlines. In the past few years my practice has turned to analog tools (print making, zines, drawing) in my own personal protest. 1/3

I've always been bad at shipping but the last few months have been increasingly difficult. I've decided to stop shipping to the US. You can still get zines from @sparkfun.bsky.social or find me for clips and more! www.sparkfun.com/books-and-me... 💚

Finishing up the first ever electronic badge for our Sketching In Hardware conference (the 18th!) They just need battery holders soldered & programming. A simple but fun design. Designed w/ @leeborg.bsky.social #badgelife #attiny #avr #sketching2025 #sketchinginhardware

I was going to assign my students a salvaging project, but after doing some salvaging myself for the first time in ages I realize how much harder it is these days with smd components etc. What specific things are still easy and accessible to salvage ?

Having waaayyyy too much fun prepping this circuit bending lesson for my students.

Unless your image contains text! In which case please write all of the text exactly as is.

Hey do you have a cool idea for minimalist AI that can actually help us understand the natural world? I'm a judge for @hacksterio.bsky.social 's @edgeai.bsky.social 's Earth Guardian challenge! Submit a cool USEFUL concept by September 30! www.hackster.io/contests/ear...

Alt text doesn't have to be anything elaborate, just 5-10 words that explain what you wanted people to know about. You don't need to describe everything unless it's relevant. And alt text doesn't need to be written in formal writing style either! Just chill.

It's almost October which means it's almost Open Hardware Month! Mark your calendars and get excited because there's going to be really amazing speakers and perhaps even some sloths during our 12hr membership livestream! How are you celebrating Open Hardware Month? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn0e...

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

I've taught the basics of if statements so many times, so I've been working on a series of explainers! If anyone is interested in proof reading/technical reviewing my new zine, let me know! I can give you a copy once it's printed !

I never once complained about being dead named and misgendered at u of t (constantly), but today, 84 days after defending, I _finally_ officially got approved to publish and receive my diploma under my real name 🔥

Somehow this is still my job ☺️

I dont think this is what other people are doing based on searches, but I have achieved something functional w/ Enntec Pro DMX USB adapter & max msp. Unfortunately the Enntec Open DMX (much cheaper) lack of processor really doesn't work for the laser. Might be ok w/ lights? If anyone was wondering!

I'm really excited about my new column with @hacksterio.bsky.social! I'm going to be covering intermediate / advanced topics for artists working with electronics. Follow along if you want to skill up, i'll be writing every two weeks! www.hackster.io/news/illumin...

The other night I asked my partner to point to where I was "looking" and I was truly shocked at the precision and fyi I really can "look" without "seeing" so sorry if my eyeball position offended you in the past or whatever this all seems like a lot of work I'm not going to pretend to do 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just learned that for sighted people, "looking into somebody's eyes" means either looking between their eyes or choosing one single eye to look at and frankly what is the point here y'all please explain

When are colors going to be back in style I would really like a timeline

I acquired a radium painted dial gauge and it's making me nervous. Thoughts ? Safety ? Safe way to display or dispose? My super cheap Geiger counter doesn't have numeric values but def seems more radioactive than my uranium plates. The dial seems intact!

So wild how fast this impossible to fix problem can get fixed when you CC the right people 🫠

In my absolute final struggle with the University, they refuse to publish my dissertation unless it matches my government name. I have never published under this name. Does anyone have any advice on what to do ?
