That fact that the Smithsonian Air and Space Center in Washington, D.C. had this on display grants them elevated nerd status honors. This is why we go to museums! ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿซก

Worked on my other Pebble (2 HR) today and moved it into its new case. Micro soldered a new battery in it from iFixIt, and that went well, but then the vibration motor wires came undone, so more micro soldering. It's back to 100 percent again! ๐ŸŽ‰ Turn the volume up. ๐Ÿ˜†

Prototyping. On left, the official Minirig 4 case that has a zippered top and no port access while in case. On right, a case I made today with no zippered top and all port access while in the case. Cordura fabric, Gore-Tex liner. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Current setup on the school bus: two Minirig 4 speakers wired in stereo, one FiiO BTR17 Bluetooth DAC wired to the speakers, and one HiBY R4 DAP handling the music playback over Bluetooth to the FiiO. I've been doing this for decades; I don't think I've ever heard a better setup. ๐Ÿค˜

What's really mind blowing is given how old this #Pebble Time Steel is, it is more responsive with its Bluetooth playback controls than many other popular smart watches released after it. Can't wait for the sequel! ๐Ÿ˜‚โŒš

My son asked me if I had any #OzzyOsbourne songs on my music player. The Prince Of Darkness? That's like asking a bird if it can fly. Ozzy is required listening (that's the early beginnings of synthwave) and an excellent teaching opportunity. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿซ…๐Ÿฆ‡

Got the first bigger batch of Core 2 Duos in the mail! 150 more next week. Also switched to testing a black C2D...still prefer the white though

This is one of my absolute favorite bands #JulienK with a song from their new album "DRK MODE" which I am using to test my sound setup (under 30 secs) using a @minirigs.bsky.social Minirig 4 , a FiiO BTR17 , and a HiBy R4 which all takes up less space than a tablet. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค˜๐ŸŽน #synthwave #synthpop

Six years ago was the last time I wore a #Pebble watch. I hated giving it up but I also didn't want either of them messed up since they were no longer manufactured. Who knew that would change this year? ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค˜โŒš

There hasn't been a watch geared towards music playback control using physical buttons since the #Pebble. In fact, most watches after it barely make controlling music from your phone on your watch usable. If anything @ericmigi.com this was a huge reason to bring it back. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Thank you, THANK YOU @ericmigi.com for making the Core Time 2! I still have my two Pebble Watches on display in my office and keep them on the "never sell" list. While I enjoy my current smartwatch, I always hearken back to the time when wearing a watch was fun and awesome. Already preordered. ๐Ÿค˜โŒš๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽ‰

You are up to date.
