It's a real low point when your screen is so ancient that even in complete darkness, you have to light up the room just to see what's on it!
...Or maybe it's just my eyes
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.

Is it just me or are my LED bulbs going out now just as fast as my old incandescent bulbs? It felt like when I first started using them that they seemingly lasted forever. Are they building in obsolescence or am I crazy?

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.
Today's task: find out if you can plait LED noodles with old gear/brake cables.
First off, I need to dismantle the last quick LED noodle experiment, my quick-and-dirty rear bike arrow.
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?
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.

My Space Station infinity mirror is getting close to a final alpha. Printing some last test pieces and then it's off to the races.

Band practice tonight. This guitar sounds a lot more fucked up than it looks (and it looks pretty fucked up). See and hear it in action when we play live at the Stay Gold Deli in Oakland, CA next Saturday, Feb. 7. #BandPractice #Guitar #LED
In Heerdt und Lörick werden nun #Gasleuchten auf umweltfreundliche #LED umgerüstet. Die historische Form der Leuchten bleibt erhalten.
Die Arbeiten beginnen in der Siedlung Grünau um die Knechtstedenstraße und die Gustorfer Straße.
Can someone please make a run of these, or something a bit more modest, and sell it please?
I have money I want you to take.

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!
