> Heaps of people are sensitive to certain properties of modern displays such as blue light, #PWM, and temporal dithering (#FRC) which alternates pixel colors at the speed of your display's refresh rate, tricking your eyes into perceiving a wider range of colors than the display can actually produce.

> These sensitivities manifest as eyestrain and fatigue, dry eyes, headache, nausea, inability to focus, and other physical symptoms.

Needed: #PDX area front-end #developer willing to #volunteer time to teach and mentor a high school FIRST Robotics program.

The Tactics & Strategy wing of the Skyview Robotics program has been working on a data collection and reporting tool and could use some professional guidance. The mentor "stack" includes Product, UX Design, Data Analyst, and Dev Ops, but nobody to teach front-end coding.

We'll meet Tues and Thursday nights starting in the fall. Reach out for more info. Thanks!

#3GoodThings
1. Cataract surgery on my other eye is complete. Needed an extra med for that eye because me.
2. The carer I hired did an excellent job. She drove me to and from all my eye appointments & helped with a few errands today, and got along well with my kiddo.
3. I simply love my eye surgeon. He is kind & great bedside manner.
4. Kiddo is off to #FRC state championship for robotics. I’m so excited for him but sad I’ll miss most of it this year. Hopefully, I’ll join him on Saturday.

COMMENT. Somewhat dated, I document the state of transphobia in the U.S.
~2022-2022 (esp. waves of anti-trans state legislature model acts) &
Ron DeSantis' horrifically transphobic campaigns ...

Yesterday was bad freaking ass. I've started mentoring my kids' high school robotics team. (while wearing an N95) Last year, they invited my then-8th grader to be a full-fledged team member, so since she's a freshman and now I have two kids on the team, I thought I should offer up my time. Plus, my oldest is the team captain. Yesterday was the first meeting with the veterans and the kids who want to join this season. I love quirky high school nerds! They are sweet and kind. They're curious and excited. And that was just watching the slide deck full of typos and mistakes. And kids who made the slides with mistakes laughed at themselves, making the whole room laugh. I defy you to hold a straight face with 50 neurospicy laughing teenagers. It was a delightful afternoon. I know less than nothing about robots, so it will be an interesting school year. But sometimes, it's good for kids to see adults learning and making mistakes alongside them. So that'll be my job, I think. That, and ensuring everyone is fed, gets on the plane, and is in their assigned hotel room at lights out. ;) Today, we are building XRP bots to eventually play full-contact soccer (football) as practice for building our big FRC bot in January. Wish me luck!
