Abandoned project to create a little mini theater using an old HP plotter and electromagnet connected to a raspberry pi. (Old Guy does stuff but doesn't always finish them.)

Flashback Fridays #10: Viral Video Phenomena — From “Charlie Bit My Finger” to “Numa Numa”
Before TikTok, viral videos were mostly found on YouTube and spread through email forwards and message boards. “Charlie Bit My Finger” (2007): A candid home video of a toddler biting his brother’s finger became one of YouTube’s first massive hits. Its charm lay in its innocence and relatable family moment. “Numa Numa” (2004): Gary Brolsma’s lip-sync to a Romanian pop song became an early viral…
BIG BIG rainbows on "Sparkle motion" WLED driver board 🌈💡
We got our WLED-friend PCBs
https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/12/02/leftovers-layout-wled-board-revision-a-completed/
and are testing it with various LED grids. First, we tried out a 16x16 NeoPixel grid that runs on 5V. Since that worked well, we're now onto a much bigger 60 x 60 grid - that's 3,600 LEDs! These are some NeoPixel pebble
We have all sorts of LED strips for a wide range of needs. Chonky strips? We got those! Strips with alligator clips 
netting samples we're also testing at the same time; each one has 20 x 60 pixels and uses 12V power, so it's a good test of the DC pass-through for higher voltages. Since WLED has a limit of 2000 pixels per output, this demo uses the three output ports that are then 'merged' together in memory to make a single large grid. We have more to test soon: the onboard IR receiver, USB PD, I2S microphone, extra I/O pins, and I2C, so watch for those videos as they come together. Coming soon -
Coming soon! We're designing a board for using WLED - and we want to make like the bestest board in the wholeworld. Our resident me
Scary safety issue. A few days ago, a fellow maker reached out to me. She had been experiencing persistent skin peeling on her fingers after soldering. She was confused because the solder tin she purchased on Amazon were explicitly labeled "Lead-Free" and "RoHS Compliant."
I asked her to send some samples to Orien for testing. The results came back today, and they were revealing: Lead, mercury, and cadmium were all present. While the levels were technically "within" RoHS limits, they were dangerously close to the maximum allowed threshold.
Here is the crucial truth: RoHS is an industrial standard. It was designed for circuit boards and electronics, not for wearable jewelry that sits against the skin for hours a day. Industrial standards typically allow up to 1000 ppm, while strict jewelry safety standards demand 100 ppm or less. That is a 10x difference in safety.
This is why I constantly remind my fellow soft-soldering artists: Do not assume "RoHS Compliant" means "Skin Safe." If you are a maker, please take this to heart: Don't trust labels blindly; Verify with your own lab tests. We create art to express ourselves, but health must come first.

The first part of the “Artistic Hand Embroidery Techniques” workshop series is already behind us! 😁
During yesterday’s meeting we explored the backstitch embroidery technique – one of the fundamental hand-embroidery techniques. There was lots of focus, creativity, and great energy while working together.
Thank you for the wonderful atmosphere, huge engagement, and such great interest in the workshops! 🥰
