Do I write a new blog page on my current tracker build, or post a series of "build update" mastodon posts, or see about writing up an instructables.com or Hackaday.io post?
I have an awful lot of pictures, e.g. showing how I made the little button caps and holders for the "soft press" buttons.

Hey #Badgelife creators, fans, or collectors. Read and boost this!

In January I will be in DC for some meetings. Because I will be there anyway, I reached out to some of the curators at the Smithsonian to ask them to meet. To my surprise, they accepted!

I want to bring them some awareness of the Badgelife community and projects, because I think Badgelife represents an incredible amount of creativity, innovation, and technological advancement, and it's happening right under everyone's noses!

So I'd like to ask: If you had an opportunity to share something about what Badgelife means to you, how it is advancing human ingenuity, or just what it means for creativity in the 21st century: What would you like me to share with the folks at the Smithsonian about Badgelife?

Share your pics. Share links to your projects. Share your stories of playing weird proximity games over NFC or wifi. Why do electronic badges make you happy? How do people use them to tell stories? Tag it #SmithsonianBadgelife so we can find it and collect it to hand over to them.

Please spread far and wide. I'd like to get as much community feedback as possible to share with them.

Thank you in advance.

The absolute madlads at PCBWay went full send and gave me the razor thin claws I wanted on this Wolverine SAO 🥰

I put off ordering this design for half a year as I was almost certain they would refuse to manufacture it and I would have to redesign. Turns out: I didn’t!

(Not sponsored, but credit where it’s due. This design is ridiculous and turned out beautiful)

I posted a #VT100 project log on #Hackaday with details about the various layers that go into the 1:3 scale keyboard. I'm using All The Tools here in the shop to print, laser, mill, cast, and solder the stack-up and switch to provide a nice feel when typing. Next I will make a daughter board for the LEDs and try a little haptic trickery to make each keystroke feel more like a mechanical switch throw. Also, I need to make molds for non-1U keycaps.
Busy bee, that's me!

A photo of six parts that when combined will make up a 1:3 scale working USB keyboard. The parts have many small details.

@ernie you should have a plan to embrace and extend and engage people in enhancing code base - with proper amount of paranoia but engaging and getting feedback from users too- I would check out oreilly book collective intelligence - could be helpful - as well as a radt of other oreilly books esp including hacks series - they are full of good info and make good ref books although they are getting dated - still useful/almost indispensable #hackaday

I checked Crowd Supply, and found the Inkplate 10, a 9.7" #epaper display (recycled from Amazon Kindles) paired with an #ESP32, which seems like it will do I want with little fuss, albeit maybe more than what I need. At $180 shipped + tax, I probably wouldn't want to deploy them in semi-public areas without screwing them in to a wall securely (theft has been an occasional issue in our common areas). crowdsupply.com/soldered/inkpl

Looking around elsewhere and reading #HackaDay articles, I guess #eink and e-paper displays are still expensive (I read complaints about patent encumbrances and low demand keeping prices high). The raw modules sold by #WaveShare and Good Display aren't substantially cheaper in the 9"-12" size range. At the other end, large 32" displays like those sold by Visionect are >$2500!

I also came across @mattwidmann 's handy collection of e-ink display resource links: mattwidmann.net/notes/e-ink-di
