Hire Jonty. He will make everything better.
So I've been notified that my role is at risk. Would anybody like to hire a me. I've spent the last 7 years as chief software architect, which realistically meant doing every job from infrastructure to product. I am interested in everything, and curious to try new things.

I want to undertake more projects that combine Arduino/robotics, coding and 3D printing with more traditional crafts (knitting, crochet, sewing). Can anyone recommend makers who do this, that I can follow? I know SheBuildsRobots and PerriKaryal on Instagram... Any others? On any channel (YT, Insta, Tiktok, here, Threads)?

A ghost city is an abandoned urban area, often with fully developed infrastructure and buildings, left uninhabited... But why? Break in, explore, and try to survive long enough to unravel the mystery at the heart of Ghost Cities. TOMORROW 🌃discord.com/invite/u3BKnm3C8…

Look at this fabulousness!
Let's have a look at another lush artwork in Undershed's opening exhibition! Yeseul Song's Invisible Sculptures (보이지 않는 조각들, 2018-2021) is a series of sculptures that can only be 'seen' by using senses other than vision.

Woww... really impressive rock avalanche today in Vallon de Bérard (Aig. Rouges, Vallorcine)! 🔥 Seems to originate from Aig. de l'Encrenaz (2887 m) and went down to valley floor at 1700 m... 😱 Look at the size of those bouncing boulders! 🪨 Sound on ! 🔊 🎥 Stéphane Hoerner
