My first Claude Code project! github.com/benkrasnow/O... Single-page web app with COM port IO. I really enjoyed using Claude, and this app is something that I will definitely use in the near future.

I had a single-stage oxygen regulator fail "open", sending tank pressure to the output. The seal looked like brown candle wax (crumbles on right side of photo). I didn't know they could fail this way just from age and normal use.

I recently learned the USGS has free aerial LiDAR data for many areas. Draw a box, then click the green button on the right side and select Eptium viewer. apps.nationalmap.gov/lidar-explor...

Also, I have quite a few videos that are soon to be released, but the perfectionist in me always causes me to wait, trying to add things, or improve things, thinking I can always make the video a little more interesting.

Has anyone found a good replacement for the Ikea Jansjo task lights? They are no longer available and I have several of them that flicker randomly.
