Contemporary shower fixtures are only one of the items that rankle the president. He has frequently denounced toilets that he claims require flushing “ten or 15 times” and LED lightbulbs, which he faults for making him look orange.

Immer mehr #Gärten sind nachts hell erleuchtet – doch das schadet Mensch und Tier. Denn der natürliche Hell-Dunkel-Rhythmus steuert lebenswichtige Prozesse wie #Zellregeneration und #Schlaf.

Die Initiative Paten der Nacht macht auf die Folgen von #Lichtverschmutzung aufmerksam und ruft dazu auf, #Gärten nachts dunkel zu lassen – für gesunde #Lebensräume und mehr #Artenvielfalt.

So, it seems that you can plait noodles and brake cables 😀

Shortens the length of the LED quite a bit, and gives it an interesting wavy pattern. A little tricky to get a tight weave on the plait given the difference in strength/flexibility of the brake cable versus the noodle.

My python code sends data out of the serial port if Teams is On a call and sends nothing otherwise.

The circuit turns the LED red when it sees pulses and leaves it red for a second or so. As long as it gets serial data once a second or so the LED stays on. If anything goes wrong it goes off

Would you buy a serial to on/off GPIO output module like this?

I have simmed and soldered and achieved blinky blinky!

Next step. It's not bright enough. Buying a logic level relay and some T10 LED bulbs. I'm going to try some things.

Join Chris( @stoneymonster ) and Elecia( @logicalelegance ) as they chat with Debra Ansell( @geekmomprojects ) about finding friends and exchanging neat gifts, accidentally tricking people into making unmanufacutable boards, and happy, blinking lights.

Embedded494: All Tech Is Wearable — EmbeddedTranscript from 494: All Tech Is Wearable with Debra Ansell, Christopher White, and Elecia White.

Made a little video of us polishing up this collaborative, We Are Magic sculpture for two upcoming traveling exhibitions. We are, Alicia Eggert, James Akers (myself), Jason Mishou, and Marco Buongiorno Nardelli. The four of us met at Alicia's studio in Denton, Texas to work all in the same room. Its actually the first time we have all met up, and its been a real treat!

Maybe you don't get the sense in the video, but there are numerous instances of feeling like it cannot crescendo any more, and it still does- until it climaxes, generating a barrage of blinky lights and generative vowel soungs.

The installation is activated by touching the hand pedestal, and holding hands with someone else touching the other hand pedestal. Each time the sculpture is activated it looks and sounds different.

Next stop, Urbanglass NYC!
