Tinker and Despair

Tinkering and bodging myself thru life - or into despair.

Sure, child labor is outlawed right now, but that's no reason for those lazy babies and toddlers not to get busy! With a DIY busy board / box for example.

@CNC_Kitchen Same with catching up live streams, at some point everything seems to grind to a halt and the brain needs to adjust.

@bitluni Node-Red? Reminds me of my first project requiring data visualization. The probes ESP still crashes every couple of hundred wake-ups but it still does its job.

Sometimes I like to make silly ads for my projects, like this one:

@TrueHorrorTales More than happy to help!

Everyone standing in front of a giant aquarium knows the thought: 💭 What if it breaks...
Then we brush it of as unlikely.
Luckily no human deaths afaik, but it sure feels like @TrueHorrorTales material.

@depthsofwiki So that's where carpeted bathrooms came from!

Safety is great and all, but can we use retroreflectors for evil? 😈 The answer might scare you! 😱 But probably not.

@TrueHorrorTales It was a short instagram clip, but I found the documentary, although the english speaking people might be difficult to understand behind the voiceover, so captions might help. Money quote around 3:30. https://t.co/lN6snC1I7n

@TrueHorrorTales If this is still in your pipeline: I just got linked an excerpt of a documentary of its construction, just in case that's helpful to you.

@asianometry I'm always wondering: Why does twitter keep tagging your links as sensitive content?

My mom sent me some papers that belonged to my grandfather, Darwin Randall Crum, which included a collection of “Disfrustrating Puzzles” he created

@BradyHaran Twitter did exactly that and your post was the top one in the "For you" tab. So I'm calling it "pushing a Brady".

[Brady Haran @BradyHaran]

There needs to be a name for that moment you realise the Twitter tab has, yet again and against your will, flicked back to “For You” rather than “Following”

"Neon is ugly, visibility is good" - I tried to find a compromise between these two for my commute-cycling friends who hate neon but need to ride in the dark. #cycling #bicycle #safety

@GreatScottLab @PearmanRct3 Little bit disappointed we didn't get to see the funny figurine. Or was it withheld from you?! 😱

My behaviour of walking erratically and looking at a weird box might not help.

[Tinker and Despair @TinkerDespair]

Testing DIY electronics in the dark in a public park always comes with the fear of getting cops called on me because the flashing LEDs are too suspicious... 😬
