Very cool! What's the expected battery run time?

See: https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/sensor-wa... Answer: 1 to 2 years. My previous watch from the original blog post is still running on the original battery.
Thank you, John.

Coincidentally, your web site https://jgc.org/ is truly a lovely example of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44613625 which was just discussed today as well.

Love your behind the screens stuff!

Thanks! Glad you enjoy https://behind-the-screens.tv. Those videos were an enormous amount of work because of all the original research behind them. I do have one more I'd like to do about this film: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/defense_play_1987 One day perhaps!
Oh I don't doubt it! I was thinking how does such a busy man have time for this... but we always have time for passions and side projects :)

The airwolf one was funny, since it was a childhood favorite, and what a funny little typo they had there.

When watching the video I was thinking to myself, could this series have influenced my future interests in ways I didn't even know? Fun.

The key to doing things when you're very busy is to do them slowly and not drive yourself crazy with a deadline. When I did the ThinkPad 701c restoration it took me a year!
Old Thinkpads were truly glorious machines. Top notch engineering and materials.
Mine has been running for over a year now and the battery's voltage is still nearly nominal.
