Hope you’re all having a great Thanksgiving weekend, and are getting your fill of family, food, and maybe even a little bit of fun. Aside from the cranberries, Thanksgiving is probably one of my favorite holidays because of the spirit behind it – thinking about what’s gone well, how you lucked out, and who has done you right over the year.
One of the most poignant expressions of thanks I’ve heard in a while came from Hackaday superfriend [Sprite_tm] in his Supercon talk this year, which he closed by thanking “you all” for pushing him on to keep making crazy projects. “I would never finish these projects without people who would be entertained by seeing all this. This is is effectively art – something that doesn’t make sense. The only way it makes sense is because I want it to exist, and because I know that you all love hearing and reading about stuff like this existing. So thank you very much for that.”
That same sentiment goes for all of us here at Hackaday: Thank you all very much for reading! Without this global community of crazy hackers to write for, we wouldn’t be able to keep doing what we do – it just wouldn’t make sense. And without your hacks, of course, we’d have nothing to write about.
Thanks for sharing, thanks for following along, thanks for inspiring us and for being inspired. Thanks for hacking.
Thank you for reporting our hacks and non-“hacks”!
Longtime lurker, really appreciate the content and community
Sounds like you’re retiring.
Just a thankful spirit. Wish more were like that.
If it wasn’t for all of you at Hackaday informing us of these projects, ranging from the mundane to the marvelous, we would never had the time / inclination to look/google them – so, in turn thank you
Cranberries are awesome. Same for cranberry bread.
Happy Thanksgiving

Hacking is an art, of course.
My previous comment _IS_ the way I’m dealing with it …. but thanks anyway !!!
Thanks right back’atcha! We all need each other, I mean, where else would we get our regular fill of 555 declarations?
A very nice sentiment, Elliot. Appreciate all you do for Hackaday and all of us eager readers (and lurkers, complainers, trolls, etc). 🤣
HAD is a treasure of knowledge and know-how. Thank you for your contagious passion.
Urgh, not a hack, could probably do this with a 555 timer chip.
