ATL GAMES

Took my mom and my little sister to the Met today for what started as a college project on Ancient Egypt, but honestly it just turned into a really good museum day/night.

Egypt was the main focus for the history class in question and yes, I was named after Ramses II of egypt, but I couldn’t resist throwing in some Rome and ending with Julius Caesar cause I have big admiration for roman and Greek sculptures.

Also the museum at night is something else, quieter, calmer, everything feels heavier and stronger with the lighting and shadows.

❄️ Room felt cold. Phones were useless. So I built a thermostat. ❄️

Turns out iPhone, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft don’t bother putting real ambient temperature sensors in their devices.

So I grabbed a multimeter, an NTC temperature sensor, and some math and built what I’m officially calling The GhettoStat.

I measured resistance and converted ohms to Celsius and Fahrenheit using the NTC beta equation. While sketching everything out, I had a full palm-smack moment and realized the multimeter already had a Celsius reading mode. Switched it over and it read 14°C, which matched the calculated value exactly. Same result, different method.

Result:
🌡️ ~14°C / ~58.6°F
Yes, my room is cold.
Yes, the math was mathing.

Soundtrack choice: Frozen by Madonna, because my room is literally freezing.

Built with curiosity, probes, and persistence. 🔬⚡
