Elevators are the #UX gift that keeps giving. I just discovered this beauty. On top of that, the door closing times are very slow so it's very helpful to push a close button. I just stood and stared...

I'm going door to door in Lacrosse Wisconsin, helping to answer any questions they might have to make sure they can vote. It's uplifting work, only talking to registered democrats, who are mostly happy to chat, and are totally supportive. It's a win/win. The tech is impressive too. There's a app that tells us which house to knock on, who is there, even if they've already voted so we can skip them. (although it SHOULD be a web page... ;-)

I'm using #LLMs to help me with my UX tasks, working with an LED strip controlled by a dial. I have an ESP32 + LED array, using ChatGPT to create Arduino sketches to control the LEDs. What's nice about this is that I don't have to be an expert in Arduino, I can get the something basic up and running and I can then take it from there. (there is a entire blog post about how horribly wrong it can get even the simplest things but as far as getting something 'approximately there', it's great!) 1/2
