Working at GSG is a delight and I highly recommend it, especially for neurospicy folks. Get your applications in!!

Happy #caturday from Molybdenum. 😺

I am locked outside my house on a second floor balcony. The plan was to beat up icicles with this stick and then go back inside. The stick is now broken but the door is locked. Think my partner will find me before I freeze?

My first ever dance solo is tonight. Wish me luck, please! ♥️

Wore some LEDs on a call with my electronics friends yesterday. This set of LEDs is my first time working with WS2812s and second time working with a Pixelblaze. Sunday these lights will be going onto an art piece I have in the works. But maybe I should do a photoshoot with them first.

My #makeShitMonday contribution. To echo @elcannibal.bsky.social, what did you make this week?

OH: "You make me feel safe to make mistakes because you demonstrate it all the time."
