I finally found my courage & clicked "Upload" on that Arduino thing - and to my great relief & the benefit of my client, it worked! 👍
- so I immediately made an edit & uploaded again because now it's routine, you know... 😁
(and yes, I did an incremental save of the sketch file)
I feel like my hacker cred just got a substantial upgrade 🤣

Ever wonder how incense-makers come up with such colorful descriptions for their wares? Wonder no more! I have built a handy woo-woo incense description generator to help you spice up those Etsy listings. https://nathanupchurch.com/blog/woo-woo-incense-description-generator-and-other-updates/ #woo #incense #maker #eleventy #indieweb #blog #blogpost

Even though my current, lovely job is mostly advisory, sometimes it's also delightfully & frustratingly hands-on 😁

hubby's health has improved substantially (yay!) & he got an infusion of energy that inspired him to clean up his big ole shelf of collectibles
he asked me to sell one of his items, a vintage ham radio transceiver w/ antenna tuner &SWR meeter, if you collect or restore vintage electronics /vintage radio, check it out (ships to continental US addresses)

Dear #maker lazyweb - is there such a thing as a "friction bearing"? Something like a regular ballrace bearing but which provides X amount of resistance before starting to move? I feel like there's a whole range of little mechanical doodads I could make if only I could add a measurable amount of "stay where I put it" to each joint. Something bidirectional so it couldn't just ratchet in one direction. I've done armature wire with ball-and-socket joints before, looking for other options.

So #ICE and #CBP are in the middle of a big op in my area around SE louisiana.
I'm putting the word out for folks in the #maker #3dprinting space who want to jump in, printing whistles is a huge help to bring attention when agents are in a particular area or neighborhood. Some community groups are having trouble getting orders filled, and I figure the Fedi can de-centrally stand in the gap.
If you have capacity, I can send files and details. If you're in the lower 48 US, I can cover shipping costs. DM me if you're willing to jump in.
Pls boost for reach if you know folks who might be interested. Thanks!

I have the exterior, interior and handles done for a new handbag. All I have to do is pull it all together to be finished. What a slog. I'm finishing it because I started it but it's at least 50 hours of work and about $45 in materials but I know I'll never get the value of that back. I felt that when I was 20% done and it's been a chore ever since. I'll just be glad when it's finished. No one will ever give me my $525 price for it & eventually I'll donate it to charity. I hate feeling this way.
