🎃🎃🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃 We thought perhaps the opening lines of Terry's Wyrd Sisters will help set the mood... "The wind howled 💨. Lightning stabbed at the earth erratically⚡, like an inefficient assassin. Thunder rolled back and forth across the dark, rain-lashed hills ⛈. The night was as black as the inside of a cat. It was the kind of night, you could believe, on which gods moved men as though they were pawns on the chessboard of fate. In the middle of this elemental storm a fire gleamed among the dripping furze bushes like the madness in a weasel’s eye 🔥. It illuminated three hunched figures. As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked: “When shall we three meet again?” There was a pause. Finally another voice said, in far more ordinary tones: “Well, I can do next Tuesday.” — Wyrd Sister, Terry Pratchett #HappyHalloween #Halloween #TerryPratchett #sirterrypratchett #TerryPratchettQuote

Finally had a play with the @pimoroni Plasma 2350, lighting up Skully for Halloween 🎃👻 since I nick Skully's Plasma 2040 for another project. Seems a little overkill lol.

Designed and printed a support for the @Raspberry_Pi HQ/GS camera, it mounts on top of a full sized Pi using the fixing holes for a hat. In the other photo, you can see my frist amtept, tried to cut down the weight, a little to much. :-)

I visited the @pimoroni pirate's towers last week with my boys for a factory visit and was treated to discontinued products to take away to play with, plus more swag for local hackspaces and kids. 3 Original Unicorn hats being controlled with a Pico W :-)

Oh, and if anyone saw my Circular Stewart Platform @LpoolMakeFest last month, the spacecraft on that was secretly using a prototype @pimoroni Tiny FX to light the cabin and create the engine effects!
