Dang! That sounds so dope, Lev.

I'd love to create something like that for wife, Katelyn. I got a Raspberry Pi 2 that's kinda just collecting dust right now.

Katelyn has loads of plants and I'd love to find some kinda use for the Pi for her gardening. She has a little greenhouse outdoors and recently it got way too warm and essentially murdered her plants... I'm thinking maybe I should set up some sort of temp/humidity gauge to send a message to her if it goes outside of a certain range.

I haven't looked that hard yet, but I bet there are projects with instructions out there that I could follow.

Several years ago, I created voice-activated lights with a Raspberry Pi for my disabled daughter, who couldn't reach the light switch. As a first attempt, it wasn't bad.

Oh crap I forgot I’ve been waiting KIC hell since couple days ago with pie they just finally popped me through. I need to go check my account really fast and I’ve been spending a lot of time buying inventory or stock on OpenSea for this crypto mining adventure called crop bites, so get a lot of stuff on there for latch cheaper than they can off their site and you can avoid the ginormous ethereal markup.

My favorite fact about Pi number is:
245850922/78256779 === Math.PI is true in JS, so it's a rational number for js :D
