       | I just found out about Wesley's blog from the "Colmi R02" post on
       | the front page (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41833200). I
       | think his blog is an absolute gem. Check out:

       | * Pictures from Space: a n00b's guide to receiving images from
       | NOAA weather satellites (https://tahnok.github.io/post/pics-from-

       | * BLUEBRIM: RGB lights on a hat with bonus bluetooth
       | (https://tahnok.github.io/post/bluebrim-rgb-lights-on-a-hat-w...)

       | Really fun stuff!

       | The timing of this is kind of funny, as I've been working on my
       | own version of this for the last few weeks. It's still very much
       | a work in progress so don't judge the repository too harshly.

       | My project includes-
       | 
       | 1. Wolfram's 2, 3, and 4 state automata (including Rule 110) 2.
       | Langton's ants 3. Conway's Game of Life, Highlife, and Immigrant
       | games (immigrant is named after another game, but it's basically
       | life with colors). 4. A clock. This just tells time.
       | 
       | Every few minutes the device will change modes. With the Wolfram
       | rules I include both single starting cells and multiple starting
       | cells, and with Langton's Ant I've managed to great some really
       | interesting patterns by placing multiple ants on the display.

       | I built something similar that I called LowBoard. It was a 12x16
       | array of addressable color LEDs that was originally for low-rez
       | halloween pictures (so good timing!) and we displayed it in the
       | window as part of our display. Then I built a web app and hooked
       | it up to the internet to let anyone draw and display an image for
       | 20 seconds, kind of a physical snapchat. Then an hour or so later
       | and ~100 12x16 dick-picks I disassembled it. Several lessons
       | learned!
