My phone just blocked a spam SMS, and when I looked, it was from the political f*$#wits who are singlehandedly supporting advertising currently.
I hope they don't realise that phones are automagically blocking their spam 🤪

satterleOff to the Brownies to assemble the Little Free Library. They're going to screw on the face frame, tack on the trims pieces, and screw the hinges for the door.
Carcase is 3/4" ply. Trim is resawn 1x2 pine. Door is 3/4" white oak with 3/16" plexi. Shelf is 1/2" ply. Two coats of Zinser primer, 2 coats of Rustoleum latex exterior paint. Roof is starter strip material for asphalt roofing.
Once it's built, time for flowers and rainbows!

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

Michael | VoltPaperScissorsA year ago, I saw someone open a book lamp in a bar. It was a pretty expensive product. Since I combine electronics and paper crafting, I had to DIY it and develop an easy-to-use circuit template and instructions for it. This educational project is perfect for libraries. Please #retoot :-)
Template and instructions are available on my website: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/diybooklamp.
Feel free to ask any questions.
