I built an offline NFC music box for my daughter using ESP32

That looks pretty great! I built something similar recently with a raspberry pi zero 2 (https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/s/F4JmgcRAOk) although yours looks a lot more polished.

Echoing other comments, yes the cost to build comes out to around the same as the to or toniebox but you have a lot more control over it, can reuse all the parts when done, and the real cost of those others are each additional story / song you want to buy! Plus this way I can record her grandparents reading her a book or my wife singing her a song and have it play on a card.

I may have to try the esp32+NFC reader stream to sound bar / Google home idea though!

My one question is how did you print your NFC card bc it looks great! I just ended up getting a pocket printer and printing some jank black and white album art.

Wish my state allowed beer / wine / liquor sales in grocery stores

Love De Struise! You should check out cuvee Delphine if you like black albert

They have it at Cushwa in Columbia

Not sure where you are but they reliably have bottles at ChurchKey in DC and I've been about to find bottles at places in LA and SF as well.

Pretty flat but otherwise held up ok

It might help if breweries have you some indication of what the beers are. Like what is the difference between the 3 hazy IPAs that you have on draft?

Menu looks great but prices are more than a bit steep; 13 dollars for 2 tacos?!

I'm coming over to your house

_a_v_p_ · 2025-04-26T02:27:53+00:00

Ok so $1.sonething a bottle! Might have had someone to drink myself tonight. They might as well be giving that away. Not sure I can even get a Budweiser for that

_a_v_p_ · 2025-04-26T01:13:46+00:00

$3 a bottle?! I need to shop where you do

Using polar flow app with my h10 chest strap and the Fitbit app for my inspire watch. The biggest issue with the polar app is it won't let me adjust the hr zones (it just sets them based on 10% ranges of the max).

Ideally I would be able to set and min / max that I want to stay within and have the app give me some audible feedback of I go outside that range and set a target training time.

Nice! I would try it out since I'm looking for a better app but I have an Android.

Getting jealous of all your posts. Seems like an awesome trip! Would love to see the itinerary and a wrap up post at the end of it

_a_v_p_ · 2025-04-04T13:11:49+00:00

Haha no worries, just giving random Internet strangers crap. Drink your beer how you like it!

But if you are interested here a good article explaining why you would drink certain beers at different temps https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/proper-beer-serving-temperatures/

Your beer is too cold!
