 Hey, hello and welcome to the show it is time for show and tell it's me John Park And I'm filling in for Lady Aida and Mr. Lady Aida and oh, I've got an echo in my in my earphone Let me turn that off so I can see much better with these. Did you know that's how that works? Thanks for stopping by I see there's some people hanging out over in the live broadcast chat on discord So hello to you and some people over in YouTube. We're getting some questions in over in the chat So that's fantastic. We're gonna spend the next 29 minutes 30 seconds together Until five o'clock Pacific time eight o'clock Eastern time at which point there's gonna be an Ask an engineer show with Lady Aida and Mr. Lady Aida So I'll say hey to Melissa and Johnny Bergdahl Janiescu seven. Okay, you're on Steve Todd bot. Hello. Hello, and over in YouTube land Eliza, hello. Welcome Mark. Nice to see you. Mark asks am I the April Fool is April Fool's Day in Wherever you are. It's not yet here in in California. So We'll find out. We'll see I have a show tomorrow, too And I'm not quite sure but maybe maybe I'll do something foolish probably so the first Thing I wanted to get to actually show and tell a lot of you know our friend Bill Binko from these show and Tells and Bill is also very involved with AT makers runs AT makers, which is an assistive technology Group that helps a lot of people with a lot of great technology. He often comes on and shows devices assistive technology devices Bill wanted us to share with you that he contracted COVID and has a form of COVID pneumonia And he's been in the hospital. He's he's gotten pretty sick. He actually was able to He's feeling a little bit better today and was able to share a video with us And I wanted to just play a couple of minutes of that. So let me run this first. So here's Bill Hi folks It's Bill. I Probably will not be talking much Because I probably have 50 or 60 words, but I wanted to thank everybody for everybody who reached out on praying for me on wishing me well and Hoping things go well Going forward. I will tell you It has been a very good day. It has been the first good day at the hospital Really? Yeah, it's been the first good day at the hospital I am I'm still short of breath obviously I have probably I don't have 10% of my lung capacity but I am Today is the first day where I haven't had enough energy and control and mental capacity and lack of anxiety To be working on my own path before now All those things added up to I Was not making progress and Today we made a ton. I'm eye up. I have a green shirt on this is fabulous. Okay The oxygen is down a little bit Not as much as we would like My saturations are still good. I am Feeling Better No, I put a percentage just better than I have been and really I think It's probably safe to say that The likelihood of me having a long recovery on oxygen at home is really high because they still have No, we're near enough energy being made so, you know Walk down the hallway but I do have enough to talk I have enough to be on FaceTime or Here on Facebook For a few minutes, which is huge compared to where I was So obviously we're all wishing Bill fast and thorough Recovery it might not be a fast one from what he's saying But he's also said that he's gonna share a lot of information about the process and the things he's gone through he's The the commensurate engineer that he is or Exemplary engineer that he is he's gonna he's gonna share a lot of info with us Okay, so moving forward. I want to bring on our first shower and teller. We actually have Kevin from Digi key. Hey Kevin First off Want to let Bill know that everybody myself and everybody at Digi key was just in the best and Thank you. Take it easy and we're all rooting for you, Bill So on to other news this is my daughter Lydia She has a nice project that she recently did so I'd like to just share a quick little video last week Lamar gave us some advice on it. Thanks by the way. Uh-huh. Oh cool Um, so the only problem with this is the size proportions are very off given that the earth can fit in the sun eight million times and Yeah That's really cool. So you've Can you tell us a little bit about how you've got this movie because it's it's a really a beautiful build with No real visible wires or anything. Are things kind of wrapped around that stick there and kind of hidden away? Um, yes there are a few motors a few wires going to the smaller motor under the earth and moon and bigger motor is in the sun and The Moore's advice last week was to put the motor and the battery in the sun So there's no what is wrapping around you get a prototype the the servo was on the black board and We flipped it upside down and put a battery back in the sun. So now there's no wires. That's terrific Also, it looks like from that shadow that gets cast You and from your diagram there you could probably do some cool eclipse type of stuff with flashlights and see where Shadows hit at different times a day and and so on. Yeah, and this is being powered with A feather RP 2040 which there's not a lot of them out there right now, but I was lucky enough to get my hands on one And he did some circuit python just simple servo coding with circuit python Oh, that's great. Yeah, really nicely done. Thank you, Lydia Thanks for bringing that on very cool Nice to see the the advanced version your your revision on this and Have you have you shared this with the the class for school? This was a school project or I had to leave early the day that we present. We showed everybody this So I haven't shown my class, but it is in my classroom, which is why we don't have it here Yeah, I get it that hence the movie. Yeah, very cool Well, thank you. We loved seeing it and loved seeing you Work through some different stages of it. Very cool project. Thank you All right, thanks a lot JP All right, uh next up we have got our good friend Brent Who I believe we wanted to Have come on next. Hey Brent. Hi John. Um to bill. Good luck. Um feel better. I had COVID last year and it's really horrible I'm still dealing with some long-term effects of it and I hope that you get better soon It takes a while, but it does get progressively better So I want to show off. Let me share my screen So I'm going to share my OBS session because virtual camera is having a day So I showed off whippersnapper a few weeks ago. Um as we make progress on and I'm going to show it more and more so JP before this actually asked me my elevator pitch for it So whippersnapper is a way to connect your devices that are internet connected To the internet without ever programming and to set them up and to Configure its components and to send data to the internet. So if you've used for moda before It's very similar to that so On the screen. I have some devices that I've previously connected So I have Whoops I have um a metro m4 airlift. So if I connect it And then this time we finally have a status led. So it connects to Wi-Fi and then it connects to MQTT, which is Adafruit IO And then it also sends information about what type of board it is to Adafruit IO And it pops up. That's a metro and for airlift and we can name show and tell Yeah And then we're on its own device page And then from here you can like click To go to the product page or read our documentation. So it will go to a learn guide And if you click new component, we finally started getting this a little bit more specced out. Um last time I showed an led But this time I'm going to show a push button So if you add a push button, you can either select one of the pins So depending on what hardware you connect So if you connect the pi portal it will only give you the pi portals available pins Uh, so I'll select d0 because it's connected over here And then you can send a component information on change. So like whenever the state changes Or periodically So I'll just show you this because it's a little bit nicer So when I tap the push button The slider moves But also Um the way this integrates at Adafruit IO, which I didn't show last time Is every component you make from this new component selector is a feed So You can start like seeing how it integrates at Adafruit IO and really seeing like what this looks like so eventually what we're going to bring in analog components next so analog input for Reading voltages reading potentiometers Um reading analog temperature sensors, which is like the main thing people want to do with iot And then we'll do analog output as well and then start bringing in sensors So people can send data to Adafruit IO without ever programming That's really cool the uh integration of adding a component and a it just Added it this sort of programmatically, but also that it becomes its own feed immediately is uh Crazy fast. Yeah, like if you want to make a quick way to set things up If you want to make an led like here's your d13 led And you can just toggle it on it. Oh, it's not visible. You can just toggle it on and off That's really tremendous. And then you also have your push button And the led So that's a short demo of what's to come Wild really great. Thank you for that. I love the visuals along with the the elevator pitch version Because now i'm starting to wrap my head around it and head blown emoji Awesome. I'm glad Very cool. Thanks so much. We'll see you All right, uh, let's see next up. We have melissa coming on Hey melissa. Hello, so I have this apple computer here and This is the same one I showed last week. It's the 2c, but I actually have it so it's functioning now excellent and so kind of it's kind of hard to see with the Camera Here So I just I don't have very many much in the way of software, but this is just a system disc here Oh, you know what? I think I can adjust the brightness There we go Oh, that's really great. That looks nice and also makes me miss the days when there were knobs on the back of monitors for Greatness exactly, uh, so I just has um a disc on here right now and Uh, what was happening was when I got it. It was just going couldn't load produce and it turns out it was a combination of trying to clean the floppy drive inside and The disc that I had was also not good and so we've got another disc and now it's working So that was original media that you were trying to spin up in there? Yeah, okay. Yeah That's cool. Uh I told you after I saw it last week that i'm super jealous because I have had my eye on those beautiful little, uh What are they 10 inch monochrome? green screen monitors Or nine in case maybe it's nine inch. Let's check with this ditch of key rule. Oh nice. Yeah Nine inch nine inch those are so cool like Almost the ideal size for doing any kind of cool little cyber deck kind of thing I mean, I mean look at it there. It is Love it beautiful. So congratulations on getting uh past the next challenge on this thing. What's up? What's next for you with it? We have any uh, I was actually borrowing this from my mom and so I'm gonna be giving it back to her But uh, huh? Excellent. Good. I hope she puts it to good use. Yeah Nicely done. Thanks for sharing that. No, thanks. I'm very jealous but All right, uh next up we've got our good friend paint your dragon phil b It's me. I'm up. Okay. Hi Um, those those mom. I hope I can find one of those little monitors. I have a 2c plus Oh, you do. Okay. No monitor, you know, not one of the cutesy monitors for I've seen them in waves on ebay over the last Year or so I was looking maybe two years ago. You'd see a couple, but they weren't cheap So my hope is always to find them in a like a flea market or something. That's where I want to find it Yeah, not not on ebay for $300 Yeah, also sending good vibes to bill. I hope you're feeling a little stronger each day Thank you so much for that. I'm sure So I've been let me switch cameras. I have a project in mind that I want to do Um, it's a wearable project and so but I want to do a guide so it's shareable and it's There's always this juggling act like cheap or small cheap small cheap small, you know, you Can't always have have both Um, so that's the rp 2040 is is super cheap and something like itsy bitsy is super small um But I noticed something on the on the pico board Uh, I have a big a big picture of it from my hack space Uh down at this end of the board, none of these traces nothing comes around the crystal and doubles back All these traces are only going that way and it's a it's a two-layer board um, and I Occurred to me, you know, you could just cut the end off the board and have something about the same length as an done And it works it like it did not destroy the board. It's running circuit python. I tested, you know, the remaining 16 gpio's all work Um, so if you need something cheap and small Uh, that that's kind of a weird option is just yeah hack hack the end of the pico board It's a great hack a great option and it's still a really respectable number of gpio pins available after it Not a horrible compromise and now it was a wearable Cosplay project I want to do but I want to keep it inexpensive for folks and so that might be a Solution if people don't mind chopping up their board, right? You know what? I was just realizing it You scrape away some uh solder mask. You could probably use some of those pins on the ends too Yeah, you're careful. I I don't know how necessary it is. But yeah, if you got in there with the 30 gauge and Yeah, uh, and so uh, one thing to mention probably is, um Uh Evil dust when you're cutting something like oh, yeah, yeah, cuz the fiberglass dust. Yeah, fortunately, I think All of us now have a supply of masks and masks put on put on a n95 at least Yeah, but yeah, I I did that on on the uh the Big disc sander and then I came in wet sand at the edge. Yeah, it's a nice clean edge on there. No, that's really cool That's a great hack. Thank you. Thanks for bringing that hack on. I was excited to see that On line too. Um, and it was a really, uh, clever Realization you had looking at that board and going wait, this is just no man's land down here Yep All right, thanks and and uh, hopefully we'll get to see uh, see you put this into into use on your cosplay project at some point We're we're at some point. Yeah, we'll see terrific. Okay. Thanks. Phil. We'll see you All right next up. We've got lizz. I'm gonna bring lizz on so get ready Hey, lizz. Nice to see you. How's it going? Good ct. Um, I started working on a new, uh, kind of robotic instrument thing Um, so I wanted to try doing robotic, uh woodwind Uh, so if you share my other screen, um, I've got a recorder here and an air pump Uh, and some 3d printed mouse. So when I press this button It makes a sound and then um, I don't have sorry. That's loud for folks. Um, no, no, no Set up yet for the solenoid, but I'm thinking solenoids with, um, let me grab a little piece here. Um With this flexible filament kind of gasket thing So push onto the holes and so I have what hooked up right now. Um, so I can manually press it So it's early days right now, but I think that's impressive though. Yeah, it's making sound and it's controllable. That's really cool Yeah, so I'm hoping it'll be midi controllable where you press a note and then like the correct solenoids will press down to Sure. Yeah, cover the the home the holes Yeah, that's excellent. So, uh, what are you using as far as driving the pump? Uh, do you just use like a motor driver? Yeah, I'm actually using the, um, the, uh, driver motor, uh, feather wing Okay, yep So just plugs right in there and then right now I just have a button that I'm pressing that will basically turn it on or off And I think and how many, uh, notes will how many solenoids you have on there like eight or? It's going to be eight. Yeah So you can probably drive that off of like us a, uh Gosh, do we have anything with a lot of, uh Yeah, it's, um, exactly the same driver I used for the robot xylophone at the mcp 2308 I want to say Um, but yeah, so I'm planning on using that. Um, and then that's kind of what the mount looks like I'm using the screws here for solenoid to sit. Um, and then they can screw into the the bottom plate here That's terrific and that That really seems like the crux of a project like this is your design and 3d print Like it all falls apart if you don't have a way to make things stay where you want them and You don't want to do this with a bunch of tape, right? So what was your process? Did you just take a lot of measurements? Did you model your recorder in 3ds? Um, a lot of measurements, um What's really driving this is the distance, uh between the holes and the width of the holes So I kind of have this sketch going that's like a chain of like circles and lines And that's how I'm lining stuff up and also getting the right size for the the flex filament too So and eternally grateful to nai and his uh layer by layer tutorials because this is some yeah, you're getting to some Good parametric stuff for for your model, right? Yeah And then you've also got a cool, uh Sort of mount here for the pump and the and the recorder read or I guess it's not a read What what's what's that about what are you changing the distance there as needed? Oh, yeah, um at first I was going to use, um gasket like a This was pretty flexible meant to hold them together But I found that that was actually like not allowing the air to go through So this is uh just mounted to the pump is hitting the center Of the recorders like um mouthpiece and so I kind of measured to make sure they were at the right Height so they were centered Yeah, oh, that's really cool. Can you can you play it again a little bit for us before? Yeah Excellent, and now I think I'm seeing there's not a direct connection, right? You're you're pushing air from The pump through the air. It's not right coupled. Is it okay? So there's no it's not it's just open air So just kind of hitting it dead on yeah, that works surprisingly well I didn't I would have thought there'd be some sort of like, you know latex tubing involved or something Right, that's why I had originally tried these out. Um, but necessary No Yeah, cool. Good. Oh awesome. Thanks for sharing that project We're looking forward to seeing this as well as a duet with the xylophone someday. Thank you. Yeah, that that is a plan Awesome. Thanks so much. We'll see this. Oh good night All right, uh, let's see next up. We've got our very good friend Todd bot who I see in the green room Just took a drink of water. So I'll let him okay. He's ready. He's giving me the Hey, Todd. Sorry. You're like, yeah, yeah So as you're aware, um, I'm a fan of these, uh, your racks at the Caesar Set up and in your rack you you use a bunch of little little separate modules that I'll be Do slightly different small things and I've also designed a bunch of my own modules. Um, Many of which that use in this case a trinket. Um, but I'm a big fan of the cutie pie So one of the things I've been working on lately has been let me see if I can switch my camera here Aha, here we go. Um This is a little this is a cutie. Paul is actually a a seed to me now Um, but it's the same thing for the most part And it's going to an op amp and I'm what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to turn the PWM outputs into usable Voltages for your rack. And so this is a little PWM filter and a little amplifier that amplifies to like the negative 12 plus 12 volts And uh, this little scope that shows that I'm actually outputting reasonable stepped voltages that stay at their value and um It seems to be working for a certain up to a certain rate like you can't do Because this is this is also done in circuit python as well. So it's a it it's up to like maybe 50 hertz or 60 hertz of rate. You can't do audio type stuff with it, but um But that's uh, that's kind of be able to do like different modulation types of things Off of it for exactly. Yeah So so so one of the things and in your rack is you're often You know You got these knobs you turn and they make you make this down go Wow, wow, wow And you want to have a way of kind of automating these knob turns And so you have a bunch of other modules that essentially create Premodulations that are virtual knob turns and so I'm trying to Make a little virtual knob tuner that uses a cutie pie But the cutie pie only has one analog out. So what do you do? Well, my trick is to see if I can use the pwms to that And um, so that's that's the main thing and and I already got the board laid out This is a paper prototype. Um, hopefully I'll be sending this fab in a few days and um The other thing I want to show off was this this went uh went around on twitter a couple a couple days ago But it's a pcb vice you can 3d print Which if you ever have to hold stuff while you're soldering You know, it's it's a real pain in the butt and those little Helping hands metal clips always dig into the board or a real pain So this is a 3d printed thing that just screws together and um Princess two pieces And if you want you can do what I did and fill some sort of ballast I filled mine with BBs and uh And then you can start holding things like oh that could even hold a cutie pie with headers in this little vice If I would just solder it's around to it for season Oh, that's cool. Yeah That's great. Yeah, and I've never used that type of vice. I've seen uh, like commercial aluminum looking ones around in the past Oh, yeah, yeah, if you buy the the real expensive Like um, they're great. Uh, they have a magnetic base and they hold your things down very subtly But you know, that's expensive. It's like 200 bucks. This is what twice in so 3d printed Yep, yeah, of course. Yeah Oh, I like it. Well, thanks for showing us those and uh, we'd love to see as you continue to build that module Maybe when you get your boards in and put together and and give us some examples. That would be great to hear Uh, we're looking forward to that. Thanks Todd. Take care. See you All right. Well, let's bring on Tim on because I know he is uh calling from I'm guessing Germany where it's quite late. Yes. Uh, hello. Yeah, it's about 2 a.m. Thank you I figured so. Sorry. I didn't notice that earlier. I would have gotten you on. It's fine. That's I'm an idol That's totally okay. Okay. If I'm tired, that's for other reasons So I have two things to show today. Um, and I think I will start with this one. All right Um That is a lights a bit Sorry, this is a pocket chip inspired, um handheld, um powered by a compute module 4 And this is actually something I got contracted to do by Adafruit And yeah, this is a prototype. Um It has a screen and um, I just got the the keyboard working today Which was a little bit of a pain because I had to fiddle with the wistry stuff, but I'm not sure if I can do this backwards and forwards, but um Yeah, if you type in a url holding it backwards like that, it'd be really impressive I can show that it's like the keyboard is working, but like I'm my brain does not work that way But uh, yeah, so that uses um the keyboard uses a tca I think 8 4 1 8 Which is like a iSquad C keyboard matrix chip That's terrific. I love it. Yeah, it reminds me for sure of the chip, uh, but What a huge great-looking screen on there. You've got two Yeah, it's it's a surprisingly big thing Like I never had like an actual pocket chip in my hand when I got these pcbs. I was really surprised like, oh, okay This is this quite substantial, but it's nice. Like it's very very very unlikely hands Wow, so, uh, that's also I have to say I have not seen that many compute module-based projects Is this one that would be uh, kind of bring your own Compute modules So you have a choice of which one you want to throw in and then people will be able to add it I mean like it's the morse idea. So I'm not sure where she's heading where it's headed. Okay I'm sure that's the cool thing about the cn4 is like you can It's like in pi, but you know, you can upgrade between models. So you have like this Yeah, carry a board and then you know, you want something very cool and you need a gigahertz of ram and you just pop that in there Is there a connector? I don't know how it interfaces with something like your pcb there. Does it have some I can log it Largest connector. You can just yeah pop that out And then you can see here The focus is You got these high density connectors They a bit fiddly it's solder, but um, yeah That's what it connects to and they they hold very firmly like you don't need to screw this in there or something This is a very strong connection. You can see I Made a little mistake with the pcb one bot here, but Other than that, it's working fine Um battery is still missing, but yeah, I think it's still to come. I think this is mostly like Figuring out the form factor and like yeah the look and feel of the device and are those uh like little Cupped membrane type of switches like that Let me let you know Yeah, I think I think they're intended to like have like something on top of them, but like they are very very flat Okay, so those are individual buttons. Yeah, those are great. Okay. I was picturing like the the type of um Inside of an Atari 2600 controller is like that little piece of copper that just gets squashed flat It's not it's not a dumb switch. It's like it's it's a tactile switch. It was very very flat. That's nice. Yeah Wow exciting Yeah, and the the other thing I have to show is um, I think I've showed this before on show and tell um Is uh a little yeah board that I made this is called the payonara and It just remember I think that was actually so the idea for this thing. This is uh our uniform factor raspberry pi essentially and um I got the idea after I think it was a show until um scott said that Somebody just should put the compute module four on something like an Arduino from factor That's literally what I did because I thought it was a cool idea and sort of like yeah, that doesn't take much time and Yeah four months later. I made this in the whole product and um You can actually now get this on on crowd supply too And um, yeah, so this is like yeah compute module four you have hdmi on here um usb and What I think is to make the cool part about this. I think why scott was interested in this is um The usb c you can also have data on there. So this can act as a usb device And what I started to work on is have this act The same way as normal circuit python boards act like you put them on your computer Like the circuit python drive comes up you have code on there and you have your terminal And you can do the same thing with a pi so you can plug this instead of like putting in the power supply You can plug this into your laptop It takes a couple seconds to boot sure, but you know, then You don't have to like find out an ip address suck it into wi-fi or something that or hook on the screen like it Just that's really cool. Yeah, so you're just power and data over the one usb c and now you can Talk to the it's much more low power. That's why it works. So like any usb 3 or higher will work And if people want to go find that you said it is on uh on crowd supply crowd supply And the name of the product is or the payonara should be signed on the front page. Hopefully. Yeah, and it looks like someone has posted a link on our Uh, has someone posted a link. Yes, someone's posted a link. Todd posted one up on the discord So people looking for that head on over there. Uh, and if anyone wants to find that and put it into the youtube That would be cool too Uh, awesome stuff. You uh, you never cease to amaze. These are really beautiful and uh, you're you're in the zone with the compute module now. Do you have any Anything new in the works that you can talk about or are you right? I'm not sure. Um, I do have a couple ideas. Um But I think there's some like the community has really embraced like this this form factor Like the previous compute modules were quite but I didn't see much any at all actually but now it's like tons of little boards popping up and Exciting. Yeah Yeah, like I mean Yeah, I can't talk about this just yet because I have to secure some Some things yet before I can talk about that before I overpromise, but I have some cool stuff for your next visit. Good. Let us know We're excited to see it. Thank you so much. We appreciate it and uh, we will see you again sometime soon For sure. Bye All right, let's see next up we have Daniel waiting in the wings here and bring you on Hey, Daniel. Hello. Hello again. Um, nice to see you. So I I upgraded well, I didn't upgrade but I Started a more complex project from the last one, which was the one button foot pedal thing and I made one that uses seven now this This uses the feather um rf 52 840 And because it's bluetooth, um, let me just share this screen Screen one I think So I essentially built off of one of your guides john on the uh bluetooth Keyboard using pretty much the same board And what I ended up doing was I hooked it up to My sister's ipad and she uses procreate and so now it's acting as a macro board for a lot of the drawing presets Yeah, and you're getting a lot of density of switches in that one little area So you get a ton of a ton of uh macros Yeah, and it's complex enough of a project where I can work on You know trying to make my own circuit board on like making it like a remote size thing or Making it like I have a pack of green keyboard switches Like gatter on greens So like it'll also it can also transform into like my first Custom keyboard project. That's great. Oh, yeah Yeah, nrf 52 840 is a cool chip for these kinds of projects Because you can do the the hid the bluetooth hid It's perfect for pairing up with things like ipads computers and so on nicely done really cool So do you have uh, you said you might do a circuit board. Have you started playing around with that designing? PCBs I haven't yet. Um, I'm Trying to get my head around Using for thing to like just sketch things up and so that's where I am now It's just figuring out how to import eight or four parts Excellent. Good. Yeah, it's a whole journey. But once once you get Your head around it and familiar with it. It's a lot of fun to build things in there. So We look forward to seeing your your iterations on this. Thanks, daniel Yeah, thanks for thanks for having me Take care All right, uh, and let's see I think last up we have mark Hey mark. Hello. Nice to see you. Thanks a lot. Uh, I will just bring up my camera um, so same project I've been showing for a while, but It's now all glued together and hooked into adafruit.io Uh, this is why I really like seeing Brent's project earlier because this would have I mean, it's quick to use adafruit.io, but this would have made it even quicker Uh, so now just a single click And the lights can go on I added in the color picker really quickly And yeah, this took just over an hour to hook up data fruit.io and that included a lot of time just Trying to figure out how to get it working on the feather s2 And I make sure I updated all the libraries, which I hadn't which led to most of my problems That's looking great Yeah, it's so responsive too Yeah, I'm actually blown away how quickly I click in Like a second later Uh, it travels around the earth over satellites and then comes back down here Yeah, so it's great. I still want to hook up a light sensor. I think so it turns on automatically at night but at this point it's uh almost ready just to Refine the code a little bit put in a weatherproof box and screw it down to the house. That's great Yeah, so this is going to be your address sign. Uh, your your home home address. Yeah, this will sit on the front of my house I can't wait for the first time i'm getting an uber cab ride home And I can just be like, oh pull up to the house with the bright with the purple white numbers Whatever color I feel like standing at that day Really cool and nicely done.
