Gestures was something I really wanted to implement to be able to hide/show things I didn’t want “everyone” to see, like my calendar or technical information like system temperature.Maybe it works good with English, but that is not the language I want to force my family to use. ![]() Voice control is too unstable too, especially since my native language is Norwegian.Don’t work through glass, but I would have had the same problem as camera with blue screen anyway PIR-sensor for turning on/off the monitor.I saw that someone suggested to put a relay on the power to the LCD lights only, but I didn’t want to risk destroying my monitor Unfortunately my monitor turns blue with a message when the display is off and used too long time to turn on again. The idea was to turn on the TV-service on the Raspberry only when someone was in front of it. I had hoped to show some modules, like my personal calendar, only to me Camera for facial recognition was too unreliable to be usable.OK, my Spotify-module didn’t exactly fit this rule, but since I made it (cough) …įundamentally I think an input interface has to work every time and for everyone. I did some testing of different user interaction techniques: My general rule for what should be shown on the mirror is very simple: I don’t want to display “everything” on the mirror, just the important stuff that helps plan the day! If I want to see soccer scores or cartoons I can do that on my laptop or mobile. That made it rather easy to make my first real module for Magic Mirror: Spotify Connect UI (GitHub). I want to be able to listen to music somehow. I accidentally found a Spotify Connect implementation for Raspberry Pi with an HTTP interface. Learning by doing is the way I learn and I needed an idea for a module! My bathroom FM-radio will be rendered useless sometime in 2017 when digital DAB replaces analog FM in Norway. So I decided I had to learn the software things around it before I started to build the mirror itself. Magic Mirror allows third-party developers to create custom modules and it has a growing community of people who builds them.īut in the beginning there wasn’t many third-party modules. I installed it on a Raspberry Pi 3 I had lying around and was up and running in a couple of hours – including setting up Raspian. Then I discovered Michael Teeuw’s Magic Mirror project on GitHub. But I learned the hard way that it didn’t support neither build-in WiFi or the Raspberry Pi camera. SoftwareĪt first I considered using Windows 10 IoT since I’m mostly a Microsoft dude with knowledge of C#. This was just before I would have my 10 weeks parental leave for my second son, so I imagined this was a nice side-project to baby feeding and diaper changing. I don’t remember how or where it caught my attention, but I knew at that time I had to make one! The idea of having key information for planning the day readily available on a mirror, where me and my family looked every morning, seemed fantastic! A while back I discovered the exiting world of “magic mirrors”. 11/13/2023 0 Comments Mario 2 enemies![]() ![]() There are some unused sprites in Super Mario Advance of what appears to be a Porcupo-like mouse enemy, indicating that Mouser was intended to start out as a regular enemy type before undergoing a transformation, much like Fryguy and Clawgrip. Upon defeat, Mouser exclaims "No way!" before falling off-screen. He was given voice acting along with the main cast and the other various bosses, with his lines performed by Charles Martinet, who voiced him with a snide tone. In Super Mario Advance, a new boss, Robirdo, replaces the second Mouser battle in World 3, and the second fight is moved to World 6-3, replacing Tryclyde's second battle. Players must defeat Mouser by grabbing bombs from him or elsewhere in the stage and throwing them at him so that they explode near or on the rodent Mouser takes three hits to defeat in World 1-3, and five in World 3-3. In battle, Mouser throws bombs at the player, which will explode after a short time. In the NES releases, he has pink ears and shoes in World 1-3, while in World 3-3 he has green ears and shoes. In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, Mouser is fought three times, appearing in World 1-3, World 3-3 and World 5-3 the World 5-3 fight in Super Mario Bros. Mouser appears in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. He is fought three times in the game: in World 1-3, World 3-3 and World 5-3, with a powerful white Mouser with red shoes and gloves exclusively appearing in the latter level, taking six hits to defeat. Mouser helped Wart to invade the secret world of a storybook with his bombs. Mouser made his debut in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. 3.2 Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten.1.3.8 List of episodes featuring Mouser. 11/13/2023 0 Comments New balance running shoes purple heelsFor those who take the sport of running seriously, whether for fitness, competition, or pleasure, New Balance running shoes deliver and offer so many options for individuals with specific foot problems such as over- or under-pronating, flat feet, weak ankles, or whether you simply need added support and cushioning. Some are made for walking, some for specific sports, some just to wear with leisure or casual clothes when you’re out for a stroll on the beach or just enjoying a relaxed day. The fact is, not all athletic or “tennis” shoes as some people call them are all alike.

Regardless of what type of problem you may have, or if you have perfect arches and no other foot issues, New Balance has a running shoe that is perfect for your unique situation. Others may over- or under-pronate, which simply means their weight is distributed more to the inside or outside of their feet, causing them to walk putting more pressure on these areas. For instance, some people have flat feet, while others have very high arches. Just as every individual’s face is unique from all others, people have very different feet as well, meaning various problems that should be addressed by the athletic shoes they wear. ![]() While they’re certainly not cheap, at about $80 or $90 you can enjoy knowing that your money is well spent, as a pair will last you for a very long time, providing unsurpassed comfort. ![]() The 8505 offers spring-like action and a honeycombed midsole, made of durable materials that lengthen the life of the shoes.

With New Balance running shoes, you get both, so if you enjoy wearing casual or athletic shoes with shorts, jeans, or other casual or sports wear, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. While style is important to some people, many today are finding they would rather have footwear that offers outstanding support, cushioning, and comfort than those that look good, but provide very little else. If you’re one of the millions who love New Balance running shoes, you’re in very good company! Athletes and those who simply run for fitness or enjoyment are crazy about these shoes, for a number of reasons. 11/13/2023 0 Comments Kate flannery![]() People reports that if fans look closely, Flannery and Haston can be spotted dancing together in the series finale of “The Office” at Angela and Dwight’s wedding reception.

The steel needs to be galvanized to be able to hold up against constant exposure to water without rusting.
11/13/2023 0 Comments Jimmy butler stats vs atlanta![]() There have been an increasing number of trade rumors involving Young in which either he or the Hawks front office is set to seek a divorce. Atlanta Hawks push back on Trae Young trade rumors The Hawks went 0-for-3 against the Cs in the regular season. “Boston is a really good team but I haven’t really looked too far ahead,” Young said noting his focus on the task at hand to the gaggle of reporters in Miami. They will now head to Boston to face the Celtics as the seven-seed on April 15. Obviously, he’s a big-time shotmaker…He even got even rebounds.”Ītlanta also outscored Miami 64-46 in the paint. “I don’t think we were as physical as we were supposed to be in making his decisions very hard,” Butler said of Young’s performance, per Kevin Chouinard of NBA.com. The rebounding was horrendous and they got all the second chance points. He was also adamant in his postgame that there was more the Heat could have done on Young.īutler also noted the Hawks’ 63-39 advantage on the glass and 26-6 edge in second-chance points. “As I take on tomorrow’s matchup and we get that win, we’ll worry about what goes on down the line, but I think I’ll be a decent basketball player at the end of the day.”įor his part, Butler poured in 21 points adding nine assists, four rebounds, two steals, and one block. “I’m going to do whatever it takes for my team to win night in and night out,” Butler told reporters, per David Lang of on April 10. Still, it’s not hard to imagine the Hawks took it as a slight. His eight rebounds would be his high this season if Play-In stats counted toward the regular or postseason.īutler was not so much taking a direct shot at Atlanta as he was looking right past them in comments following a recent shootaround. Young shook off some previous demons tying his season-high against Miami with 25 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists versus a team that had previously had the Hawks’ number, winning three of four meetings in the regular season. “I know Jimmy guaranteed a dub so I was really focused on making sure that didn’t happen.” “I was really focused on tonight and making sure we won,” Young told reporters via the Hawks’ official YouTube channel following the Hawks’ 116-105 victory on April 11. He wasn’t trying to put up gaudy point totals nor was he forced into dribbling out the clock in an effort to get himself going. It didn’t look like the typical game for Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young until the end. 11/13/2023 0 Comments Epic ski pass utahHere are the main points to consider when deciding which is right for you.ġ. Both are currently at the lowest prices they will be offered for, and both have early bird zero down deals, so it makes sense to plan ahead. The Epic Pass went on sale earlier this month and Ikon today. Japan's skiing is legendary and both Epic and Ikon passes cover top resorts here - and the rest of. There is so much to take in that I concurrently wrote a separate article just on exactly what each pass includes for 2023-2024, and the highlights of each. There are a lot of details to consider with both passes, most importantly what resorts are covered, as well as additional benefits. Likewise, there are multiple resorts convenient to Denver, including unlimited. Even then, in some cases there are multiple options, such as the Salt Lake City area, where Ikon has five resorts with 7-days each and one unlimited, and that’s enough for even the most zealous. However, the reality is that for most traveling skiers 7-days is more than enough for any one trip and again, this limit mainly affects those who live near one of the resorts. In short, the Epic Pass is like a traditional season pass on steroids, while Ikon is more of a passport for exploration and road trips. ![]() But Ikon does have unlimited skiing at about a third of its resorts, including notables such as Steamboat, CO and California’s Mammoth and Palisades (formerly Squaw Valley). ![]() The biggest fundamental difference between the top shelf offerings is that the Epic Pass is unlimited at most places it is taken, including some of the world’s most desirable resorts, such as Vail and Whistler/Blackcomb, while the Ikon Pass is more of a sampler, offering 7-days free at most of its properties, including most of the highest-profile choices like Deer Valley, Sun Valley, Big Sky and Jackson Hole, which makes it great for travel but not so great if you actually live at or near one of the resorts it covers and plan to ski there a lot. Both have pros and cons, but the main rationale for choosing one over the other is you, where you live, how avid a skier you are, and how you travel. 11/12/2023 0 Comments Hero siege difficulties![]() On the first playthrough, the choices were pretty limited with my Redneck hero, but with the arrival of season 10, each class now gets two separate trees they can choose from. You’ve got 17 different classes in the game, with another one coming shortly, and each of them has their own skill-tree with passive abilities, and even some really splashy interesting ones. If you’ve ever played Diablo 3, or any of its contemporaries, you’ll know exactly what to expect on the gameplay side of Hero Siege. You shouldn’t go into this game expecting an orchestra every time you enter a new area though. The developers behind Hero Siege understand that and give the game ambient tracks that can sometimes pick up into more interesting songs as the gameplay gets more intense. Even that song you love more than any other gets boring after a few listens. You’re going to be grinding these levels over and over again, so the music has to be almost non-intrusive to the experience. Want to look like Luffy from One Piece? Minecraft? Halo? Dated memes? This game has it all.Ī variety of monsters, weapons and classes need proper sound effects that really set them all apart and make them all sound enjoyable to hear. You’ve also got a bunch of other customizable aesthetics you can give your character, and the range is huge. I’ve seen Soldier 76 from Overwatch, Sylvanas from World of Warcraft, etc, and each of them costs around £5. It does beg the question of how they’ve gotten away with some of them though, specifically all the Blizzard skins. There are 22 different skins, and almost all of them look really fantastic. However, there’s a lot to chew on with that first purchase, and 99% of the game will be available with that. The game itself is cheap and well worth the £6.99 purchase, but with that small initial entry fee, it seems the developer has opted to sell quite a lot of small microtransactions. The player-models also have some really nice attention to detail, without losing out on the readability of the game but it’s here where the game might put a lot of players off. Some of that life consists of some horrible monsters, but they’re all very well drawn and have a variety of unique and visually interesting aura to them that it’s hard to really imagine you’ll get bored of murdering them in a bunch of creative ways. The world of Tarethiel looks really great and the environments are all very detailed and full of life. That’s pretty much as far as the story goes, so there’s no surprising twists or shocking revelations you’ll stumble upon, but the sheer variety of environments you’ll travel across as the story progresses is what really shines. You’ll play as one of a variety of classes, set out into the world to defeat Damian, the son of Satan, and his army of monsters who have taken over the land. There are seven acts in total, with six of them being in the base game, and the final act being downloadable content you can purchase. There’s not that much of a story to latch on to this game, but there are different acts in the game, with each having its own final boss you have to conquer before moving to the next act. The gameplay loop is pretty addictive, and it does seem pretty conventional from the initial few hours, but it really expands as the playtime adds up. You’ll move from level to level, with randomized layouts and creature placement, trying to pick up the best loot and make it to the exit gate so you can move on and do it all over again. The story isn’t much to go on, but the pure love for the genre that seeps into every inch of the game is what makes it so worthwhile to pick up and give a shot. ![]() ![]() The comparisons really don’t stop there, with the game taking almost all the better parts of those games, like greater rifts, paragons levels, etc. It’s the cartoon equivalent of something like Diablo 3 or Path of Exile, but with cartoonishly over the top 2D sprites. Hero Siege is a dynamically changing Diablo-like, with roguelite & RPG elements. 11/12/2023 0 Comments Online roadblock gameLearning the fundamentals of programming will also introduce them to some true-to-life skills they can take with them in the real world, such as patience, perseverance, problem solving, situational analysis, and a bootstrapped version of the scientific method (formulating a hypothesis and then testing it, basically). And since they’ll be working with Lua-which is a simpler, more laid-back programming language-they won’t be too challenged or too frustrated with the actual coding. So although Roblox Studio editor can be a bit challenging to master at first, students will ideally be inspired to keep going and overcome the hiccups they encounter when they create their first advanced obstacle course or full-fledged tycoon game. ![]() It’s a gentler, more encouraging teaching method that’s more effective and sustainable than its counterpart, which basically uses the threat of failure to motivate the student. Learners put forth the effort to achieve their goals because they want the gratification that comes with accomplishment-and the prize. The carrot-stick method basically leverages the promise of a reward (or the reward itself) to motivate learners.
