Issue #238 - Pots

Monzo ePaper Pot Jason Barnett Raspberry Pi

Happy Friday, one and all.

We hope you’ve had a good week — we know we have. Ours has been full to the brim with your incredible projects, such as the binary clock by engineerish, Jason’s e-paper money pot tracker, and facepunch, the Pi-powered project that doesn’t do what the name suggests.

We also ran a fun competition on social media, challenging our followers to guess where Babbage bear went on holiday. We’ll pick a few lucky winners from among the hundreds of guesses and send them stickers — be sure to follow us to take part in future sticker giveaways.

Have a great weekend, an awesome week, and we’ll see you next Friday!

Peace,

Alex
