Repost for the morning crew. :)

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

If you’re a California resident, be sure to vote in the upcoming special election! If you need a little bling to get you motivated, we’ve got you covered with both ready-to-go small pins and solder-it-yourself kits! Kits are 50% off and assembled pins are 25% off. Happy voting!

from my lunch today; "the trouble is not so much AI making you more productive, but that it's tripling the output of the biggest f***ing idiot where you work"

Just watched this, really happy to see the greed and destruction of VC broken down for people who don’t work in tech.

24 hours left!! www.crowdsupply.com/chipperdoodl...

Smh gonna give ME a USB C without the CC resistors?!

Made a Slack-o-lantern that hits you with the Slack notification sound and logo when you walk by. 👻 now baAAck toOOO WooOOrk 👻

It was good to join thousands of people in downtown SLO today at the No Kings protest. My sign made it into the local newspaper’s sign gallery! www.sanluisobispo.com/news/politic...

I'M SCREAMING THIS IS SO GOOD

omg finally, the feature everyone wanted on the OG Jumperless like 2 years ago. Wire colors on the breadboard now match the ones you set in your @wokwi.com project!

We have a few bundles of this special yarn left and it’s now up on the website! I dyed it a few years ago in Peru when I had the opportunity to visit @abbysyarns.bsky.social and join a natural dyeing workshop at the Santo Tomas CTTC. www.alpenglowindustries.com/collections/...

Wait for it….. 🤣

I was able to run the PixelBlaze Panama Hat with 150 LEDs for over 5 hrs, looking great at 20% brightness, using this small battery that fit under the hat & at 2.2oz, wasn't noticeable: a.co/d/bbhObkk youtube.com/shorts/TZBFV...

I made a really cool LED wall project for my house last week - spruced up an ugly black fireplace with 1035 LEDs and a Pixelblaze LED controller. Check out the full story and project progress on mastodon: mstdn.social/@alpenglow/1...

Here’s a tour of our booth at Lambtown Festival, tomorrow and Sunday! We’ve got lots of yarn swifts, ✨NEW✨ Glow Gauges, ⭐️NEW⭐️ Glowie jewelry, and some favorites - Card Gauges, StitchFishes, and Knitting Rulers! If you’re near the Bay Area or Sacramento, it’s near both in Dixon, CA, check it out!

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

If you want this poster to remind you to slow down you can get it by following me and @cyborggarbage.bsky.social October 6 on the Goshwassociation 12 hour Livestream! Any new members or donations of any size will get you a cool slow sloth riso poster! Woohoo! 💾⚙️🦥

Ordered the first small batch of prototype Fibonacci Infinity Tile 0 LED PCBs! Already noticed my first mistake: I forgot to label the six capacitive touch mounting holes and output headers. 🤦‍♂️

In other news, it fukken WORKS and I've successfully made a tiny stained glass window for my beetle's abdomen. 😍

Whoa! What a Saturday at Maker Faire Bay Area! We were so busy all day that I never got a chance to post anything! Here’s what our booth looks like, we’ll be there 1 more day, tomorrow (Sunday) until 5pm! #mfba2025 #makerfaire #makerfairebayarea #glowies #alpenglowies #pixelblaze #learntosolderkits

All of our Glowies are packed up and ready for #makerfairebayarea this weekend! We’re leaving tomorrow, can’t wait to see you there! We’re in Storehouse South, a low building near the entrance. We’ll also have a chance to win a prize basket, more details soon! #mfba2025 #alpenglowies #cyberpunk

Here’s the final style of Glowie we’re making! Shooting stars and flames! These fun animations draw attention without being too distracting, and their battery life is double the solid Glowies, so around 20-24 hrs on a single charge. #glowie #alpenglowie #ledjewelry #mfba2025 #makerfaire

first habibi keychains!

Production today starts with a dip in conformal coat to insulate the exposed wires and pads. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry

after extensive wind tunnel testing and analysis, I've concluded that airplane mode is a complete scam. it doesn't change the phone's aerodynamics in the slightest.

A video about the Glowie covers I designed which I’m super proud of. They’re my first snap-together design and it took several iterations but came out great. Huge shout-out to Noe Ruiz for his great tutorial video, and @evilgeniuslabs.org for reminding me it existed. 1/2 #glowie #alpenglowie

Glowie assembly! Double-stick tape is already on the PCBs, I plug in a battery, peel the tape, stick the battery down, and dress the wires. Then I snap the bottom cover on, and snap the top cover on. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry

These are way too fun. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry

At Alpenglow Yarn, we make the world’s worst umbrellas. 😂 But we make great umbrella swifts! Here’s a sampling of what we’ve been building up for Lambtown Festival this year. We’re part of the @craftamongfriends.bsky.social crew, so there will be postcard stamping, giveaways, and more!

Ugly bags of mostly water, take me to your leader! #glowies #alpenglowies #mfba2025 #makerfaire #makerfairebayarea

How’s it going? Well it would be all unicorns and rainbows if it weren’t for our shipment of 250 batteries being terminated backwards. Looks like we have even more work cut out for us before Maker Faire Bay Area. But bringing these cute little Glowies to you will be so worth it!

Video of the stunning pendant in action:

At the Orange County Maker Faire this weekend I got to see @californiasteam.bsky.social and his gorgeous LED jewelry creations, and was super excited to get one of his brand new "Duonacci" pendants. It's powered by a super capacitor which charges fully in just minutes and lasts for many hours.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Hackers

Just moping at work today because I stood in line for 3.5 hours this morning and did not get tickets. Please send condolences because this show is going to be awesome for a lucky (and dedicated to spending the night on the street) 900 people.

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. 1/n
