Kusan : City of Wolves
At the pub the other night I met the guy who made this computer game: Kusan : City of Wolves.
Most Important Skills for Electrical Engineering
Today I watched Most Important Skills for Electrical Engineering.
Stuff I need to learn includes:
He listed some important soft skills which included:

- Communication
- Opportunity detection
- Tenacity/high-pain-tolerance
Quake ported to Arduino Nano Matter and Sparkfun Thing Plus Matter Boards
Today I found Quake ported to Arduino Nano Matter and Sparkfun Thing Plus Matter Boards via this article from Hackaday: Quake In 276 KB Of RAM.
The code is on GitHub and there’s a YouTube video with a high-level explanation.
