  Anybody got an extremely simple DIY bralette tutorial? Ideally a triangle-cup style similar to this (from the excellent @freesewing@freesewing.social ): https://freesewing.eu/showcase/bee-by-ts I think this is what I want (https://freesewing.eu/docs/designs/bee/options#crossbackties) but if there's a faster/easier one, I'd love to know; it's more for coverage than support, and rough/messy is OK :) Bonus if it works with T-shirt material (jersey?) scraps! I have a bunch from croppin...

  Gonna do these live in a sec for a *quick* #SpaceSongSunday – ft. the octave mandolin :) On IG for now, for technical reasons, but recording will go on #MakerTube ✨ https://instagram.com/glowascii https://chaos.social/@alexglow/116575412583408397

  No lie, I've been planning one of these for years! Apparently there's a girlypop #cyberdeck moment going on, so maybe the burnout-recovery gods will finally grant me the executive function to complete it... https://www.hackster.io/glowascii/polly-s-primer-polly-pocket-inspired-pi-powered-cyberdeck-ed8178 https://chaos.social/@davedarko/116597117130992796

  I met a Traveller from an antique land, Who said, "Two households, both alike in dig— Hang on. I'm here for Shakespeare? If you can..." "Next door," sighed I, and cursed this Shelley gig.

  No lie, I've gotten so tired of unsolicited advice (which is usually given before attempting to understand the context – and is thus laughably basic and/or plain wrong) that I started designing these cards for what to do instead. This one in particular would get a lot of use 🙃 https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/116415412197082035

  Our second episode of #DayGlowShow streams live July 10 at noon Pacific (tomorrow / 7pm UTC)! @ishotjr and I are digging into the #PicoCalc – a #microcontroller development platform based on the #RaspberryPi Pico.

  Two hours to go ^_^ Chill and cozy stream, acoustic guitar + voice, more originals & fewer Space Songs (but not none!) ✨ https://mastodon.social/@limebar/116415071720047743

  New #HacksterCafe this week, ft. @bunnie : The Dabao microcontroller (powered by Baochip-1x) just wrapped up its @crowdsupply campaign! This chip helps make secure features easy to build and standardize across the hardware industry. We'll chat about its open "BIO" (Baochip I/O) and package that's easy to inspect via IRIS (infra-red in-situ) imaging, plus other projects bunnie has been working on 👀 March 31, 10:30am PDT / April 1, 1:30am CST: ▶️ https://www.youtu...

  Latin nerds, I need you! Offering Elvish nerdery in return 👇 Trying to translate "keep it secret – keep it safe" to #Latin, which I know is tricksy. Looking at verbs like servare and conservare, and adjectives for "safe" like tutus/salvus/securus...?? If you can help, I will write your phrase of choice in Tengwar (Elvish script)! Here's a sample of one way I write it – though I'll do straight lines 😅 I'll write them on a livestream and link image files for you....

  Honored to be invited for another virtual concert with excellent Fedi folks 😸✨ I've been working on making some better recordings to share along with this – but since I'm slow, I'll add 'em below. It'll be cozy and casual, with mostly originals; open to requests from https://www.spacesongsunday.com after the set :) Thurs, April 16 9pm UTC = 5pm Eastern = 2pm Pacific Live on TIBtv: https://tv.theindiebeat.fm/ Part of a whole series, so follow @nham &...

  RE: https://chaos.social/@alexglow/116133185247194467 This Thursday! Live companion bot building 🤩 I really like the Alvik – it's cute and approachable, but when I did the unboxing a couple years ago, I realized that its components and API are way more powerful than it lets on: https://www.hackster.io/glowascii/first-steps-with-the-arduino-alvik-robot-kit-f229bb#toc-approachable--yet-powerful-0 Glad to finally come back to it!

  Hey, #chainmail friends: Got a reliable source for high-quality scale #maille? I've been prototyping with scales from Fire Mountain Gems, but 30-60% are unusable for jewelry – due to scratches/scuffs and the occasional discoloration. :/ Preferably: - 35.8mm x 22.2mm size option - USA - Multicolored aluminum (OR extra points for reasonably-priced titanium/niobium anodized scales!) // #Maker #SolicitedAdvice https://chaos.social/@alexglow/116014646843186181

  What if you could save data to your earrings? I've been working on this #Charmware MicroSD jewelry concept for a year+, and (as with the recent LED one), am SO EXCITED to finally pull together some semi-polished prototypes!! This year, I intend to finally start selling my functional circuit board jewelry – including custom/branded options for these. Site coming soon at https://charmware.tech 👀 Current info: https://www.notion.so/alexglow/dataCharm-2ae5bc4fe79880368b71f871e3fb6ef4 // #jew...

  New vid! #PCBs I made in 2025, part 1: LED charm ✨ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTH1NuelDig Finally pulled together a prototype with this little board – one of my new #Charmware set, reviving the series of modular tech #jewelry bits I started back in 2018. Been dreaming of assembling these with elytra and bike-leather, and the day finally came... The board still needs some tweaks (smaller switch etc.), but with my fixed-up #KiCad workflow, those will be a snap. 😸 // #Maker #LEDs #WearableTec...
