yeeah, that’s not 2…
? Improvise and try not to be too lame
omg, so romantic, wow, such marry material
? Get bored and forget the project
? Return after a few months and download our code with marvelous representation of digits
? Set /sys/class/leds/led?/brightness to 0 via cron, if you don’t want Sirius A in the bedroom
? Add code reference to rc.local (e.g. python3 /opt/alphonses-hat/alphonses-hat.py &)
? Add one ninja diffuser on top of the Unicorn HAT
? Create a LEGO holder
acceptable but kid wants to break it apart
? Turn it on and nearly get blind during first night

? Try with 3 ninja and 2 frosted diffusers
? Go to sleep and enjoy the darkness, but fail to see if the clock is actually turned on at all
from left to right: bedroom door, night cabinet, bed, shelf with the clock
? Disassemble everything and try with only 3 ninja diffusers
? Tell everyone on Facebook you’re a miracle worker that can sleep at night and see the clock
? Connect everything with plastic twisties
? Hail accidentally created abbreviation, to be on it’s good side, if it ever comes to life
Hans, Get ze Flammenwerfer!
? Employ two unused frosted diffusers as stand, since you already bought them
wife complains that white plastic twist tie defies Feng shui
? Take everything apart and wait for 2-3 months because you have 0 ideas how to advance with design
? Have an epiphany and settle with the final shape of Raspi clock
