Coffee table leg came off, so I fixed it.
@bkm :) Guess they don't like their own dogfood.

Just need a little sun Denmark. :) https://www.playingwiththesun.org/
A workshop with Playing with the Sun in a Berlin art gallery. https://www.eer.info/activities/playing-with-the-sun
Mass production of www.playingwiththesun.org construction kit elements in the library today.
Here's a link to the project's website: https://www.playingwiththesun.org/ :)
I'm seeking a web designer to help solve a design problem on the Playing with the Sun website. Know anyone who wants to help an open-source design project geared towards helping kids learn about sustainability through play? https://gitlab.com/playing-with-the-sun/pwts-website/-/issues/7
Here's a brief video describing a Playing with the Sun workshop I ran in an art gallery in Berlin. https://vimeo.com/799029719/0d8e101386
Building hand crank generators and cutting wheels today.
It's much easier to solder a resistor onto another resistor than to take out the original and put a new one in. Adding a 12 ohm onto a 180 ohm gives me a lovely 11.25.
Pcbway put 180 Ohm resistors on the 15 power packs when spec called for 18 Ohms. Turns out 12 Ohms is best anyhow, so I got some desoldering to do.
Rev. 3 motorboard assembly.
@dnoh Gorgeous! :)

teaching folks about the relationship between electricity and magnetism through tinkering and play!

@samhenrigold I am rather fond of Bulleit.
@blogmywiki Pull request was accepted, I think it'll go live on the production Bangle JS server in a couple of days? Meanwhile it's here: https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/tree/master/apps/rings
Rev. 3 playing with the sun boards arrived! :)
1.0 release of the Rings watchface I made for Bangle JS 2, remixed from another user contributed watchface called Rinkulainen. There's an amazing open source community around #espruino.
This hand cranked circle drawer shows promise. #tinkering
New watchface I'm working on for the #BangleJS 2 #espruino smartwatch. Read time outside in (14:12). It shows the date in the outermost ring when you press the button.

Oh look, Google being Google.

(In case you were thinking of learning/using Go, I’d say skip it. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Unless you like telemetry by default in your programming languages and tools, that is. In fact, just don’t touch anything tainted by Google if you can help it.)

Remembering past vids from CES recursive prompting, where this little moving mirror garden emerged. https://www.playingwiththesun.org #tinkering

Experimenting with photochromic pigment embedded in other materials like bioplastics or in this case, glue. Using a UV pen you can make ephemeral paintings. Photo one is the paper before painting and photo two is the paper after. The painting only lasts for a couple of minutes! I love how the strokes of the brush I used to paint the glue + pigment mix on this piece of paper become visible when the pigment changes colors.
