Gearing up for a couple of projects. More to share early June :-)

"Fav" annual business day: commercial insurance premium due. Our rates go up by ~$1000/year. $5.5k this year (4k for building & property, rest liability & crime.) Informed will further "harden"; kicker- make a claim, get significant hike, possibly no coverage. No claims made yet!

Two day, 8 hour test of new E3D-Online Hemera hotend. Little bit more retraction tweaking needed but very impressed!

Really happy to see the first working version of Deb Dumka’s interactive exhibit. I helped with NodeRed, 5 screen video wall, custom esp8266 wifi sensors and light controllers, code and server config. Come to the Comox Valley Art Gallery to experience it and see the story.

500 awesome looking tags made for the more amazing @Nadbrad.Designs!
