From Heathkit vacuum tubes to first-gen Arduino LEDs, electronics has been my lifelong passion. Though not my profession, I've journeyed from analog circuits to microcontrollers, hacking Arduinos since they appeared. This blog shares that journey—the successes and struggles. If you're a fellow hobbyist, a curious beginner, or just love to tinker, you're in the right place. Welcome!

Reddit ShowerThoughts message popup
The ShowerThoughts sub-reddit on https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/ is all about those awesome epiphanies we all seem to get when we are in the shower. It is one of the few moments today when we are totally alone with our selves. No phones (unless you are on of the unlucky ones to own a waterproof bluetooth device).
This python 3 applications uses the linux libnotify-bin program to pop up any new messages through out the day. This uses the os.system method to execute the notify-send command with title and message from the reddit post.
Download on github
Hope you enjoy
