In Soviet Russia, monitor monitors YOU.

Bwah hah hah!

Howtoware looks like a rabbit hole for me. Thanks for the tip!

I sell my hardware projects on Etsy, mostly LunaKrons, the GPS-enabled moon phase clocks, and also a few “Game of Life” displays.

I’m boxing up LunaKrons to get ahead of this year’s gifting rush, and I’m really pleased with how the packaging is turning out.

I design and build GPS-synched moon phase clocks (“LunaKron”) & other electronic novelties, and sell them on Etsy.

I’ve consulted with ChatGPT when I need help choosing materials and with some techniques.

Those LunaKron clocks are so cool! Do you do this as a full-time job or side hustle? Looked into mass-market manufacturing and distribution?

Thanks! It’s a side hustle.

Haven’t looked into scaling up.

Great article! I'm especially interested because I make weird clocks & digital displays too.

I love it! I’m also pretty excited about Game Of Life. I made this: https://digitalhorology.etsy.com/listing/1644589175

Hey Andrew! Try this: If you make the grid pixels square and drop a sheet of translucent acrylic on top of that, the effect is pretty cool.

Here's a "Game of Life" display I made using this technique: https://digitalhorology.etsy.com/listing/1644589175

This is where I get the black LED acrylic:

It’s a Chrome extension that shows me what web page elements I’ve missed in testing.

Here’s another upvote for rural life:

I live on an island in WA state, USA. I’ve got a spectacular view of Admiralty Inlet & the Olympic Mountains, and a workshop big enough for my CNC machine and other equipment. I’m using the workshop on weekends to make weird Arduino-powered clocks and LED art, which I sell on Etsy for beer money.

Made it to scratch my own itch.
