And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

- Black Magic I of Things: I have invented #CheerTunes Andy Stanford-Clark. If you tweet a Spotify URI such as the one below, any listening Spotify client – currently just me will play the artist/track/playlist you provide #weeknotes twitter.com/embedded_iot/s…
- Jackie Pease: Sound reactive #WLED lights reacting to a WW2 teleprinter in the background (🤷♀️ @doesliverpool)
The #WS2812 strip used in this prototype had been stuck down in a grid for a few years – I really like the resulting crinkly effect through a Mylar diffusion layer
