Over the past ten months I've been building a fortune telling machine inspired by my childhood love of Zoltar. It asks you 3 questions and provides you a customized fortune based on your answers! - youtube.com/watch?v=CovVmPns…

"Keep going" is bad advice. It doesn't tell you what to keep going on. He quit the valve approach, the pump approach, the ring architecture. He never quit the goal. Those are not the same thing. youtube.com/shorts/TsFUO6oTN… #Makers #DIY #MakerCommunity #Making #ProjectLife

FieldStation 42 doesn't recreate the nostalgia. It recreates the room. And a room full of people doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone designed for it. youtube.com/shorts/jvqZ_O8I8… #RaspberryPi #OpenSource #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity

I solved the same CNC problem twice because I never wrote it down. Your AI assistant is only as useful as the context you give it. Documentation is the most valuable tool in the shop. youtube.com/shorts/Buy1Az9E1… #Workshop #Arduino #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity

The nail polish on the keyboard is not a detail. It's the thesis. And the industry is going to sand it off trying to sell it back to you. Don't let them. youtube.com/shorts/RZRZFei4y… #Cyberdeck #RaspberryPi #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity

The flaw doesn't exist as knowable information until you build the thing that breaks. Version 1 isn't a failure. It's the only instrument capable of generating what you need to know. youtube.com/shorts/vyvkDrZPG… #Robotics #Engineering #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity

153 versions of the same Fusion 360 shape. Not because she was bad at building. Because she hadn't needed it badly enough yet. The project is the curriculum. youtube.com/shorts/39KnFHQOp… #Fusion360 #3DPrinting #DIY #Makers #MakerCommunity
