My "bedazzLED" denim jacket tutorial is up on Make magazines's site without a paywall now! It's a remarkably practical wearable project that's looks cute even when it's not illuminated.

Special and very musical night last evening as @adafruit.com engineers Liz Clark & Noe Ruiz drop by and drop knowledge on #CircuitPython & MIDI. My @bostoncollege.bsky.social Physical Computing students were rocked! Huge thanks!

I turned down two sponsorship opportunities for the podcasts last month and now qualify for ads from my podcast host. I’m not going to enable them, but I’d love it if you supported the show: www.thebootloader.net/support/

A screenshot that says: “We’ve noticed you’ve been smashing your download numbers recently, and we’re writing to let you know that you’re now eligible for our Programmatic advertising features. You could be earning money from your podcast by doing no extra work. You just click a button, turn on ads, and watch the money roll in.

Whoa that chip is pretty cool. Love that it's basically a WS2812-workalike but 48-bit RGB. Wonder if there are other vendors doing this
