10yo added a throttle to her robot today. Pushing up and down on the dpad sets the max power to the motors. And she figured out how to limit the value to 0-100. Some minor set backs when she forgot to account for the opposite motor orientation. #microcontrollers

Worked with my 10yo to control her robot from a bluetooth controller yesterday. She even added an emergency brake button to stop the motors immediately. And taught my 7yo to solder to add a LED to her fairy house today. After she decided that wirewrap just didn't involve enough melting of metal.

Splotchy jungle green background with the mockup of a book in front. The book's title is BURN THE SEA, which is written in swoopy yellow font, and it is written by Mona Tewari. On the cover, there is a woman in a teal lehenga with gold trim who is playing a tambura in a stepwell. She has curly black hair and stares straight at the audience. Red blossoms are tucked into her hair. There is a dagger leaning against of of her legs, and her feet rest in the stepwell's water, which ripples around her. The tambura is decorated symmetrically with a rearing winged lion on the right and left. Small green birds fly above them with feathers drifting down to the lions.

I am so beyond thrilled to share the cover for BURN THE SEA, which will be published April 21, 2026 with Boundless Press at @binderybooks.bsky.social

Table with supplies for playing The Deep Forest. Supplies included rules, playing cards, dice, and paper. Two children are seated at the table.

The Deep Forest by @lackingceremony.bsky.social made for a great sick day activity for our kiddos.

The "Leaving Bluesky" prompt shows the address of https://2.0.0.5/ as the destination over top of a skeet with "2.5" highlighted as a link.

Yeah, @bsky.app I'm pretty sure this isn't meant to be a link

We don't even have Christmas window curtains! Hardly over doing it.

Leftover prime rib is far superior to leftover turkey for post-Thanksgiving sandwiches.

And don't forget Maleficent's "curse" required her to find the girl *and* conjure a spinning wheel to force it to happen! Definitely something more going on in the kingdom.

A wood nail with the tip dipped in red paint. "For Jayson, with love, from Jesus" written on the side. It is attached with a ribbon to a Christmas tree.

Does a "bloody" nail from Jesus count?

A small gnomish postal worker with a panicked look and letters flying around him.

Oh! And a character portrait from the amazing @artmonkeymg.bsky.social

It's not entirely clear if there is some sort of eldritch being or if it is just emergent behavior from the psychic energy from the mass of postal workers.
