@aaronpk Oh I didn't know you needed to have a picture. For my LCD I just put text on from my Arduino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxfWSBsTZ5E&t=2s

Not really full pictures, but there are some lines and background colors. It's more like I didn't want to deal with parsing the JSON response and the text/graphics libraries in the limited esp32 environment.

I’m in the market for a battery-powered, Wi-Fi connected programmable sign. I want to attach it to my office door so that I can tell my family (well, mostly my kids) when its OK to enter, and when I need silence. Any ideas?

A Raspberry Pi Zero with an e-ink display! https://aaronparecki.com/2019/08/30/29/

@aaronpk Is a RPi really necessary? I was somehow hoping that a small e-paper one would work with a small ESP8266 like:
https://blog.squix.org/2017/02/esp8266-peripherals-2-7-epaper-display.html

I made a travel version of this running on an esp32 with an epaper display! The main difference is for the esp32 version I have to generate the image on a server and download a bitmap to write. With the Pi, I generate the image on the Pi in python.

Shooting the keynote all at home I've turned into a mini vlogger. I have a high def @LogitechG logitec web cam, I can make my @DJIGlobal gimble shoot landscape mode! I've mastered quicktime player! I can make myself look decent on a webcam. (tough to do)

Somebody get this man a better camera!

I'm wondering, what's the simplest way for non-technical people to get microbloging and still own their content? No command line, no registration w/ multiple services, simple config, no lock-in. @peepethApp? @indiewebcamp?

Probably https://micro.blog and https://i.haza.website

Anyone else using this pandemic to go through and use all 23 travel toothpaste tubes accumulated over the years?

omg I literally just bought a stash of them before all this started and feel very silly using them all at home

Thanks to everyone for the advice! I went with the 38" Dell UltraSharp U3818DW. Ordered from @BHPhotoVideo - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1349058-REG/dell_u3818dw_ultrasharp_38_curved.html.

whoa that is more than I've ever paid for a monitor!

Forget the 21st photograph on your camera roll or whatever. What’s at number one in your Spotify On Repeat playlist?

Some people think this emoji:

🐹

could represent a guinea pig.

Never ever confuse hamsters and guinea pigs. That’s a common but serious faux paw.

I see what you did there

Funny how people worry about getting their hair cut while in lockdown... it literally didn’t occur to me that it might be a problem 😜

pretty soon we're all gonna look like you!

@aaronpk I read your article on Home studio and you make a lot of excellent recommendations, many I'm already doing. I am a musician and music teacher and I use slack for one-on-one lessons and YouTube live for large groups. Can you recommend a platform?

Thanks! A platform for what specifically? I've had a lot of luck with Zoom lately for the workshops I'm doing remotely.

is 12:30 pm too early to make a cocktail, or are all the rules irrelevant now? 🥃

Is this your house or a photo from an interior design magazine!
