After tucking the kiddos into bed tonight, I vibe-coded up an Arduino-based Wi-Fi weather station with an LCD screen, complete with automatic uploads to Wunderground 🙌 Going to put this thing outside tonight and start collecting some data ✍️

My 7yo was asking me today, daddy, can you super-glue this worm-gear (that he pulled from a broken toy) to this motor (also salvaged from another toy 😂). I'm like, dude, I got you, but we're going to 3D print it instead so it's serviceable. 🛠️ 📏 Now, let's send it to print! He's going to be pumped

As a Java dev (using Intellij), I feel really old today. I've been holding-out using the Classic UI plugin (and my custom color scheme) all this time since the new UI/color schemes came out. Today, I finally tried it, and oh I love it. Really locked-in.

It may not look like much right now, but this is a landing gear mount for the last 3d-printed RC wing project. I refuse to hand launch that thing since it has a propeller on the rear. 😂 So, on go some minimal landing gear.
