We've worked with @LEGO_Education to design the new Raspberry Pi Build HAT. Priced at $25, the #BuildHAT brings Raspberry Pi computing to the LEGO elements we love: control LEGO Technic motors and sensors from your Raspberry Pi. raspberrypi.com/news/raspber…

Damn @johngreen, that chapter about the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō was devastatingly beautiful. Get the audiobook version, you can hear the last recording of the bird before it went extinct. It hit me right in the feels.
So recently I have been reading "The Anthropocene Reviewed" by @johngreen. Its a truly beautiful book to read. A real relief after the past couple years, and super informative too. Here are five things I learned from the book... enjoy

5. The Great Gatsby was not well received at its initial publishing. When Fitzgerald released the famous book critics hated it. They said it was no where near as good as his first novel. It became a classic because the US government shipped copies to soldiers in World War 2.

I honestly can't recommend this book enough. Its been such a source of relief for me as it was written in 2020 and it is very personal. Seriously, get yourself a copy.
New video just dropped. thedenofalacrity.co.uk/video… Huge thank you to @aliabdaal for making such inspirational content!
Got a new video coming out today on the @DenofAlacrity - all about the benefits of taking notes. Inspired by @AliAbdaal and the way he uses his notes for his videos. So a quick question for y'all do you take notes on media you watch/read/listen to? How do you use those notes?

Just released a video on @DenofAlacrity - combat in D&D fifth edition explained. I had a blast filming this one and mastering the cloning process was really tricky. Now I need to figure out what to do with them... thedenofalacrity.co.uk/video…
