In This Edition:
Leather ASMR, Society6, UserInyerface, Easy Pie Chart Maker, IoT mesh bridge, LightSail, The Solar System as Gaeilge and Basecamp's ShapeUp!

This week I came across Little King Goods on YouTube (via Peter McKinnon). Little King Goods hand make leather products and also make videos of the process. Some of these videos are ASMR, which only include the sound of the process, no background music etc. They are incredibly satisfying to watch, almost meditative, such as this one showing him making a leather money clip.
