Smarter Circuits 💾 📼 🕹 💢 📙

@RueNahcMohr A small breeze passes as Smarter (Mr. Circuits to you) reaches to hand Rue a shop towel and reminds him that impostor syndrome is real and those followers are there regardless because Rue posts neat buzz'n'beeps and the odd click-whir--nothing more, nothing less.

(a bead of sweat rolls down the side of Rues head while he waits for almost 2000 new followers to realize he isn't who they thought he was)

Just a reminder that I'm on bsky.app

Just a subtle reminder that I'm on bsky and I haven't been using that nifty simulpost thingy for all my socials because I'm lazy. bsky.app/profile/smarte…

Hey bots, watch my show. youtu.be/X-Wqo-mCKqo?si…

Something Sonoff this way comes. January 29th, in the year of our superintendent, 2026. I can tell you that it's one of the banes of my existence; An IoT device I normally despise. Has it changed my mind? Well, if I told you that, you wouldn't have any reason to watch the video

I don't recommend content often. I want to to have real weight and never feel disingenuous when I do. That being said, my son has a new YouTube channel (his first). He makes lures. If you like that stuff, join his journey as he develops his skills. @baitingnativewaters" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@baitingnative…

I am presently working on videos for a new Sonoff device as well as two new Shelly devices. I will also be doing some updates on devices I've installed in previous videos and have now had for a while. Spoiler alert: Cheap stuff is cheap.

Which is it, Amazon? Has it shipped or is it at the carrier facility? Has the definition of the word "shipped" changed since I was in school? Has the past participle been removed by executive order? I need to know these things.

[insert tidings here], everyone! I forgot I had a video that was 99.9% done, so I did 0.1%--which is my favorite %. youtu.be/du-rR0tBTxI

Being on here feels simultaneously like walking an empty street during an apocalypse and having the Battlestar Gallactica problem--wondering who's real and who's not while constantly feeling like you're betraying someone.

Contrary to popular opinion, I am alive. There's stuff afoot and I think it'll be fun. Next, some digs at ol' Tommy A.E. and a quick skim of the history of the outlet should be out this week. Then, I have a new Sonoff smart plug to review on Thursday for its release.

I realize we're three days in, but if anyone else would like to try to hit a word goal for this month (or any), there's a place you can track your writing projects. Here's an example: projectwordcount.com/public_writing…

I am presently experiencing distractspiration, or a moment of inspiration that motivates you to do something other than the thing you were doing due to previously being inspired.

Not that I'm super active on the socials anyway, but I wanted to let everyone who sees this stuff that I'll be even more silent for the month. My wife and I are doing Novel November. (not NaNo)

Thing. youtu.be/BDU_TI2MetU

While we no longer participate in NaNoWriMo officially, my wife and I still attempt a 40k+ word novel every November. We've decided to add Outline October in preparation for what we now refer to as Novel November. Just a little added distraction in strange times.

I recorded video today. I talked about NEMA and what they were up to a while back. I also started unpacking the 10 foot dual rollershade I've been sent to review.

I have a large package.

Brace yourself; I'm not sure Tron Ares is going to be very good. I did say brace yourself.
