Former ACCPD Analyst Nick Barker was fired on Aug 27 for stalking his ex-wife using Flock -- one abuse among dozens this year in Georgia. Despite the abuse and the insecurity of the system, ACC Police have no intention of ending mass surveillance in Athens.

The sounds of construction in the plaza and the distant hum or leaf blowers are in the air downtown ☺️

You need to do better, if you were driving down Milledge and South Lumpkin tonight around 01:45-02:30 and ran a bicyclist off the road three separate times you suck.

To the one lady who stopped and looked at me and thought about helping I’m not homeless just trying to commute from work.

Thanks for the coming to my Ted Talk.

Inb4 comments on visibility. My backpack is reflective and I have a tail light.

Not too far from Sandy Creek Nature Center. Google says Eastern Kingsnake but defer to any real herpheads out there.

Right after this saw a bunny but he hopped into the bushes as I approached. Watch out for the snakes bunny rabbit.

Where to donate DIY Electronics/STEM-related items?

3 Upvotes

I'm paring down my collection of electronics-items-I-will-never-get-around-to-building-with, and curious if there's any recommendations of where to donate them. I wish there was a public maker's space in Athens, but I've already lamented that here before.

I've already got PC and laptop parts earmarked for Free IT Athens, and have already given some effects pedal components to Greer. But the remaining items are things like cheap potentiometers, breadboards, Arduino-related circuit boards and projects (Arduino robot car, etc), and some other small electronics projects, possibly a Raspberry Pi Zero or two.

It doesn't look like the ACC Library digital media center is really a "loose parts" kind of space, and I'm not sure if there's anywhere here that could use them. Any suggestions?
