I buy a lot of cheap "DIY Electronics" Kits on Aliexpress put them together, the more confusing the more fun it is. But I write up better instructions and observations so if students want to build the same kit they can.

Some kits I do not tell anyone about because they are terrible. But really? Most of them are great. If you don't mind reading a datasheet or doing some detective work.

But I think blogging about "Kit Adventures" might be interesting.

It's amazing the fun you can have.

I like how we took something computers were masters at doing, and somehow fucked it up.

Good lord. Talk of the ruination of the web on here today I decided to see what it was like just straight up raw dogging my browsing habits for a little while. No ad blockers, no blocking cookie popups etc.

Just now I saw an article describing Bluesky as the “billionaire-proof” social platform - you should have seen my eye roll. Sure, “billionaire-proof” (quote marks necessary) AND funded by the crypto bros at Blockchain Capital.

I wonder if the person who came up with the hype of Bluesky decentralization is the same who built up the myth of Space Karen as a genius.

Sure Jan - but you can’t fool me.

Media literacy and digital literacy are more needed than ever. I miss the late Neil Postman 🥲
