» Open Source Game Clones. I've been really enjoying Beyond All Reason, it really scratches that RTS itch for me (used to love C&C Red Alert and Total Annihilation)     #

» ESP8266-HTTP-IR-Blaster and zmote. I've had really good luck with my entertainment center (tv and stereo) and the new mini-split heat pumps with just using the esphome IR climate and esphome remote transmitter. I did have to setup a receiver and do some capturing but that's easy to do.     #

» Easer Android Automation, I like the idea of the phone doing things with say a geo-fence, or just letting apps interact in general.     #

» Splash Maps, printed fabric maps. I especially like the idea of the printed fabric, maybe a chalk-bag made with the topo of your favorite crag?     #

I wonder what the actual power draw of that circuit is, though this is definitely something to do in the summer and not now.     #
