Progress! In which Michael finds ever increasing difficult ways to light LEDs to demonstrate simplicity.

The dead potted flower on the sil in the background seems the perfect aesthetic.

Aperture Labs weighted cube, stm32 dev board, oscilloscope, logic analyzer probs on a table. Plants in the background with a potted flower that is dead.

I'm far more excited about this than makes sense. I finally have a metric only tape measure.

Impossible! It was written in Rust which _everyone_ knows is free from all security bugs.

It started as the controller area network bus for vehicles but it had ambitions and became so much more.

1. Get a bunch of parts 2. Think of something to build 3. Build the thing / write the code 4. (I think this is where we make slides) 5. Give the conference talk

A pile of electronic parts on breakout boards from SparkFun.

The mountains are always calling. Sometimes I'm able to escape the chaos and calm my spirit.

"as it could shatter the glass"... I have an idea for the first peoject

Sign on glass wall reading: Engineering Freshman Design Lab.
Above the sign is a paper taped onto the glass that states: "Doors will UNLOCK 15 minutes before CLASS TIME. If the RED INDICATOR is on, the door is LOCKED. DO NOT pull on the door when it is locked, as it could SHATTER the glass."
