Supposedly packing for CES – so of course, I already upgraded that earring... 🫣
[Swapped in a bluer elytron; dropped the rubber point; added servo tape to keep the elytra from flipping around sideways]

Nearly forgot to link the project page! https://alexglow.notion.site/ledCharm-2ae5bc4fe7988052934dd6c9312deb9d
Couldn't resist photographing them nestled into this chunk of bismuth. I'm a huge sucker for iridescence 🤩

[I'd post the vid directly here, but I spent 2+ hours today trying to find/make some music that would properly complete it... ended up using IG's built-in thingy after abandoning my kalimba & 2 different looping apps 🙃]

@momo Funny story there – I was scheduled to give a talk in 2015, but passport issues prevented it 🥲 I was gonna try and remote-control demolish a piñata onstage using EEG control. Had the piñata in my bag and everything! But didn't realize my passport had to be valid for 3 months *beyond* the trip... people sent me photos of the line out the door for the talk... it was rough lol
I *have* made it to Camp twice, but never the Congress! Would love to... Lots of Euro hardware events next yr, hmmm
@alexglow Do you just not want to post a video with their music? Because yt-dlp will rip the video off of IG no problem…

@bytex64 Eh, kinda just seizing the opportunity to make a backing track for myself – I did a few for professional videos before, to have royalty-free stuff 😊 Ended up picking music from an artist I like who fits the vibe.
Win: turns out they're in the catalog on YouTube as well – a platform which I forgot exists until 5am last night 😆
@alexglow That’s very cool! How heavy are the earrings?
Filmed a ton of project stuff last year, but it's been a few months since I had the brainroom to put a vid together. Here's a big ole "screw you" to burnout in 2026! 🫶
