Christmas soldering! @wonkatron and I put together the led Christmas trees from aliexpress.
Sharing one soldering iron was fun 😅
For anyone that listened to @wonkatron 's interview on @hpr and wondered what a floating plant pot looked like, this is it!
Adam made this for me for Christmas two years ago, I cried when he gave it to me 😅
🎙️I was a guest on Hacker Public Radio!
I recently appeared on HPR to talk about my creation; Pete the Mechanical Disco Pigeon, where I share the story behind:

A thread of some of my LED projects, for posterity.
One of my favourites, sound reactive LED rollerskates.
Running WLED on a ESP8266 D1 mini pro on each skate (don't ask, one of my first projects). Which are controlled by an exterior ESP32 with a microphone attached.
The left pair were for my friend for a performance we did.
Demonstrating thier im𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙠able taste, on 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧, Manchester Tech Festival put me on 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚!
Featuring Pete the 𝙈𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤 𝙋𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙤𝙣, we embarked on a 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 foray into the world of art, hardware hacking, software development, and open-source gratitude.
To everyone who came to watch, laughed, took pictures and supported me, 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙉𝙆𝙔𝙊𝙐! I hope it was a memorable addition to your day!

I for one cannot wait for a future where passwords have been entirely eradicated from authentication. Years of helping others recover from compromise after they've become the victim of credential theft may soon be a distant memory!

Thankyou for these super classy pin-badges Chris! Millie and I are absolutely enamoured with them.
Your talk on the design and build process was thoroughly entertaining and it was a joy to meet you afterwards.
Do you plan on getting these up for sale somewhere so we can complete the whole collection!?
