Arrow Selection Math

I’m a recurve shooter preparing for the outdoor archery season again and it’s time to do some arrow selection. Do I want thick arrows or thin arrows? Thick arrows may gain you more points (although unlikely with the large target). And thin arrows are rumored to be less susceptible to wind effects. But let’s see — let’s do a bit of math!

After playing my first games of Star Wars Unlimited, I was inspired to design my own 3d-printed life counter. multicolor 3d printed swu high-republic life counter

House Temperature Logging

I was interested in temperature, humidity monitoring around the house to see if there were any trends, or if the basement was getting too humid. In particular, looking for a low-effort way to get data into a dashboard, I was eager to try out the AdafruitIO framework. They limit you to two managed whippersnapper devices (but you can have more using your IO key), and 10 feeds (this is the real limiter, with each stream of data being one feed).

Netrunner Laser-Cut Identities (Smoke & Outfit)

After the success of the last Netrunner laser-cut ID’s I thought I would do another set for East Coast Nationals 2023. This was right before Smoke (one of my favorite runners) was going to rotate, and The Outfit was doing super strong, so I had an easy time deciding what to do.
