One of my favourite little bits at Disney world is the magic bands lighting up to match surroundings so I thought I’d make this for at home

I love uni society committees because why am I having to work out if I have the support to carry out a coup

I've been working on my personal website and as part of it I'm building a theme park attraction ranker that includes both coasters and dark rides and trying to fill mine is really reminding me this is a dumb idea

I’ve booked my universal tickets for LA next year and honestly I still don’t believe it’s real

I’m reworking my portfolio and I forgot how annoying this is, can people not just believe I’m good

I made my miniscreen its own thing and while it was a lot of effort and stress I do still believe this is a funny enough bit to justify it
Getting this light to flash has probably taken years off my life. It’s my first completely custom microcontroller board and while I have stuff to finish with this project still I think it can wait a bit

This shall be perfect for stripping down mercury to make a dyson sphere
BREAKING: A robot developed by Caltech and funded by DARPA has successfully built part of a structure in orbit without astronauts, marking what researchers describe as the first autonomous construction of a structure in space.
The experiment, called ASTRA, uses a robotic arm to retrieve individual structural tubes and connecting joints, then assemble them into sections of a larger framework directly in orbit.
Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 in March, the system has spent approximately six months in space testing the technology.
The robot successfully constructed a new section of a truss structure, demonstrating that spacecraft could eventually assemble large structures from smaller components rather than launching them fully assembled.
The experiment is part of DARPA's NOM4D program, which aims to enable construction of enormous structures in orbit, potentially hundreds of meters or even kilometers across.
Potential applications include:
> Giant space telescopes
> Large satellite communications antennas
> Orbital solar power stations
>Future space infrastructure too large to fit inside conventional rockets
The demonstration did not complete the full planned antenna, but establishes an important proof of concept for autonomous orbital construction.
The technology could eventually allow the size of structures built in space to exceed the physical limits of the rockets used to launch their components.

I've been listening to the EPCOT soundtrack while working and y'know what its harder to be depressed while listening to the computer song

Occasionally I get asked by younger people around uni for advice and it’s awkward because I don’t think I’ve ever made a thoughtful career decision, I’ve just kinda trusted my gut and stumbled into this

for the record I'm still pissed off that a great looking RX-droid is locked behind this (also droid factory is just so hard to get, I still haven't found the droid factory R3X for a good price)
R8-26, from Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, is the latest Build-A-Droid release with one more to go to finish the RX droid!
