I've built countless Internet-of Things, yet I rarely use Web APIs. Today, something changed my mind - filthy lucre. There's also some 3D printing - I need to say that for search-engine optimization. Forget the fourth wall - we break the second wall here at Voidstar Lab. That's the one between the stage and the writer's room.

Deepgram wanted a speech-recognizing project, so I got to combine my very favorite things: wearable technology, Python, and being a public nuisance. A hoodie that transcribes my every word is a unique fashion statement that says "the place where my soul should be is a sucking chest wound that will drag me into a sunless oblivion unless I get constant validation from strangers."

Widget Workshop footage blatantly thieved from LGR. He's the only one who got the end-of-run sound! Yeah, the Widget Workshop equivalent of the Return statement makes, not one, but two very, very loud noises. I'm so nostalgic rn hnnnnnnnnggggg

I can't believe I never made it say 'my eyes are up here'
