Not shown in this photo: the stupid amount of anxiety I have about getting haircuts 😵😫

Printed @adereth's LightCycle keyboard chassis on fast 0.35mm layer mode (top left only, other .stl files seem corrupted?)
Taking notes for reducing the amount of support material in my own designs (wow there was a lot, I hope I can recycle it)
Hideous. This is not what the end of November should look like y'all. I'm supposed to be chipping ice off my car right now
Gave my 2 weeks notice.
"Instead of leaving, how about we cut your weekly hours requirement in half until the end of the contract?"
OK, works for me.
And the more I think about it, the more it seems not like compromise, but the better choice altogether.
And now I feel like
rolling into work today like
detail of the Mitosis PCB, where the wireless module is attached either on the front or back depending on whether it is used as the left- or right-hand board, opposite the battery, whose other terminal is connected to a second board
you can sort of see the symmetry induced by the design constraints, and how it is perturbed to make room for the other components

noodling on a key layout for my mitosis http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/e1a6a7a480fd4984c0bed38ee35f6c4f
I think I'm onto something good with moving all the braces and brackets to a symmetrically-arranged row
and then placing [!] and [?] on [,] and [.] respectively

Speaking of ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ, I wish the beautiful 3D renders done for Oblotzky's Oblivion keycap design were open source so I could make my own. https://oblotzky.github.io/sa-oblivion/

🎉 SUCCESS 🎉
I figured out how to change the baud rate on the wireless module to match what's available when running the promicro it talks to at 8Mhz instead of 16.
So now I have not only repaired the 5v promicro that I thought I trashed, but the 3.3v one bought to replace it, that I thought might be incompatible, totally works too.
Now my Mitosis keyboard works like a charm and I can get back to training and tinkering on the layout!
How do I feel?
Got a multimeter but still haven't figured out where the problem in my cheap pro micro clone exists. 😕
But I also picked up some "magnet wire," which is about as wispy thin as cat hair. I took that to the pro micro that I killed with too much soldering, used the multimeter to figure out which pins were dead, and ran wires to replace the parts of the circuit I broke.
It lives! 🎉
Someday I will cease to be astounded that I made a thing work but today is not that day
