I hope they add the bi flag one day.
The new philips hue bulb bridge supposedly can turn them all into motion sensors. Do you think this could use what ever data they are pulling from the bulbs to do that as well?
The terminal is good. I don't have any issues with the stock mac os terminal app but I'll give yours a go for a bit. I can't tell exactly how, but it does feel faster - I'm not sure exactly how it is but it looks like it renders text faster.
I like Redis, it was my first queue system and it worked great. I used it for this project https://edwarddeaver.me/portfolio/control-my-lights to pass messages from multiple inputs into a central funnel.
Looking forward to reading more of your posts.
For the US 2024 Presidential election, I made a scraper that pulled the NY Times electoral college data and displayed it on my AlfaZeta flip-digit display. (Code [0])
It's very hard to get free electoral college data live, but at Syracuse's Open Data Day I learned the NY Times election data is just JSON files the whole site is powered by ~5 JSON files. So I got to work making a scraper for 2020's data and formatting for my display. I built a websocket serial server that runs on a Raspberry Pi so I could work on my laptop and test it. [1]
At 6 pm (eastern) the new data dropped and that resulted in a URL for the JSON and a new data structure. I spent the next 20 minutes parsing it out and then let it ran for the whole night. I took a timelapse of the night (linked in the website)[2] and added back the click-clack sounds I heard that night.

Btw, how did you started making a creative tech studio? That’s something I want to do but I’m kinda lost on the selling part. How do you sell to a business that earned media is worth it?
