We have the technology to implement a slow social network of personal sites. I’m excited to keep playing with that code. But proving the concept is not the same as actually making it easy & accessible in a way that can replace platforms.

Hamburger Footer: Reaching the Bottom of Infinite Scroll
Infinite-scroll (endlessly scrolling websites) can be annoying when you want to get to the footer section. A common technique is to move the footer to the bottom of the sidebar – Twitter do that... but what if you don't have a sidebar? Put the footer with the header navigation?

👋 Thanks for mentioning!
I love everything about this. 😍
Electronic Catan LCD Tiles: A collection of hexagon tiles that magnetically snap together to create a Settlers of Catan board of any shape or size. Each tile features a large round LCD and a custom magnetic pogo connector on each edge. Linking up a bunch of tiles creates a position-aware partial mesh network.

This is a great build log for converting a garage to a habitable workshop space.
Feeling bad that I've not done anything close to this with my garage yet!
DIY: Garage to Workshop Conversion - MichD
In June 2021, my partner Brittany and I realised a dream: we bought a house. When viewing the place, the owners showed surprise about us wanting to have a look at the standalone double garage. It was packed full of unwanted stuff, leaving barely any room to walk. As “makers”, we had some different ideas for the space. Soon after we got the keys, we got to work.
Let’s get the before/after out of the way before going through the whole thing.
Before
How we found the garage on the day we received the keys, June 11th. The previous owners cleared out most of their stuff, but left us a few things we might find useful.
After
The finished product after all the work we’ve completed, from a similar viewpoint. Better photos near the end of the post. The goal was to have a finished “inside” style room we’d be comfortable in for our nerdy activities.
