Introducing OpenTrailPaper, an open source bike computer built around an eink display and gps. @lilygo9
My eink bike computer project is still progressing. UI is now configurable (by config file or app) and you can control your music. @lilygo9

When you wake up at 3:45am to bike up Mt Tam to see the sunrise... It’s always worth it (just bring a good jacket).

It could not be more stark, according to the data. You could have the hardest-working, most prodigious Congressional representative or the most obstructive. “Based on 84 votes she cast on land use since she joined the board in 2021, Chan was second only to former Board President Aaron Peskin in amassing a record consistently opposed to liberalizing housing regulation.” “From Wiener’s first session in the state Senate in 2017-2018 through the 2025-2026 session, he authored the most bills of any legislator in the chamber, at 186. Of those bills, 97 passed and were signed by the governor — the second-most over that period.” sfchronicle.com/politics/art…

Pro tip: Uniqlo SF lets you print whatever you want on tshirts and canvas bags ($30 including material and pickup was in 1.5 hours!). OpenTrailPaper merch 1/1

Apple Store in San Francisco
A good example @johnonolan sent me today An Apple Store in Dubai where you have Apple Watches lying around freely with the door open, not secured, not behind glass Right by the front door! A high trust society like we used to have too

What If Your ESP32 Could Become an SDR? ESP-SDR turns supported ESP32 boards into a small software-defined radio receiver. It gives you access to raw IQ samples from the Wi-Fi radio, letting you see the 2.4 GHz spectrum and waterfall in a browser. You can explore things like RF signals, spectrum analysis, IQ data and wireless interference without expensive SDR hardware. The ESP32-C5 is even interesting here because it can work in the 5 GHz band. A tiny development board suddenly becomes a great tool for learning RF and signal processing. Would you try SDR on an ESP32?

@Strava If I could get a second api key it would be insanely useful 🙏 then I could do uploads. Alternatively you could support activity uploads from a iOS file share.

Eink is so much more readable in direct sunlight. @lilygo

It’s going to be open source. Project is dropping very soon.
