Public media funding is complex - so for those of you who are following the news about Trump's executive order to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, this is how CPB works, and how it distributes money to public media stations across the country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC485mf9LRM #NPR #PBS #PublicMedia

@gallaugher awesome, thank you!!

@gallaugher that would be great! Also if you want to meet up before the fall to chat about CP IDE options/other CP things as you prep let me know

@gallaugher a sampler afghan would be a good first project. You can do blocks that get sewn or crocheted together after. I’m in the middle of one made from patterns in this book, in general I’ve had good luck with patterns from this publisher: https://books.google.com/books/about/60_Quick_Knit_Blanket_Squares.html?id=kvmbzQEACAAJ

Today’s #Muppets GIF of the Day is…

@sarahatlee yeah it was made by sewing together the strips and then cutting them into the parallelogram shape and then piecing those to get the triangles

The quilt is finished, really pleased with how it came out. The binding wasn’t a battle which was nice #quilting #sewing

I'm putting a tariff on the word "tariff"!

Hooked up an arcade dispenser to give me a ticket every time that god-forsaken word shows up on my computer screen.

20 tickets == 1 beer

@gallaugher I would splice the cable and solder the ends to a proto board to make a breakout that connects to the pico or solder jumper wires to the cable wires to make a custom cable. Otherwise you will probably have some connection issues that will affect the image quality on the matrix
