What is it with cats and boxes?
(Foster kittens, who will be up for adoption soon)

Made these as Christmas presents for a couple of friends. It's a fridge magnet that displays when upcoming rocket launches are happening. Uses the #Adafruit MagTag board, which has an E Ink screen and is powered by an #ESP32.

A modern 3D printer being controlled by an ancient KayPro II. It's printing a G-Code file saved on the floppy disk!

@SamTornado and I did an incredible amount of work to get this going. It's connected to the printer via the serial. We also had to figure out how to connect the KayPro to a PC to copy the G-Code over.

Also wrote a custom program in Z80 assembly to stream the file to the printer.

All this to prove that we could have had home 3D printers in the 80s!

I would make a terrible bartender, “Your wife left you and your kids hate you? Wow that sucks, Hey did you know alcohol is actually a depressant?”, “What’s that sir? You want to buy those girls over there a round of drinks? Ummm… Sorry, No you’re too old and creepy”, “NO I will not put the Super Bowl on, Bill Nye is being interviewed on PBS!”
I am pissed, I can't find room on my laptop for this sticker
