I finally set my #Pebble back up, it's nice to have it back with a new watch band.
I've uploaded the updated version of my #pebble watchface to the Rebble app store -- It's still pretty fun taking those out for a spin, the APIs are so simple I don't even mind having to write C code!

Maybe for the next hackathon I'll actually make something new..
The hunt for the next #Twitter(#X): all the news about alternative social media platforms. #Threads, #Mastodon, and #Bluesky have all proven to be viable #alternatives, but places like #Pebble (formerly T2) and #PostNews didn’t make it.

Incredible insight into the speed and capability of Chinese manufacturing. #pebble https://ericmigi.com/blog/february-shenzhen-trip-update
Amazing to see how fast things can go when people know what to do and how to do it.
Fascinating Shenzgen trip report from Eric Migicovsky who is rebooting #Pebble
I read about the "return of Pebble" at https://ericmigi.com/blog/why-were-bringing-pebble-back ... remembered seeing that as an interesting Kickstarter back in the day, & wondered if I wanted to get in on the revival (if it happens). One way to find out would be to eBay an old Pebble and wear it a while. So I did! #pebblewatch #pebble 1/6
It just dawned on me that I never took pictures of my #PixelWatch but I have of my #Pebble. It's kind of telling which one I found more fun.
The #Humane Pin has died and #HP has killed it. The burial of last year’s tech darling, DOA as its concept was from the get-go, isn’t that important in itself, but continues the troubling trend of things we buy dying unnatural deaths. #obsolescence #Apple #GM #cloud #ai #opensource #pebble #rebble #smartwatch https://reviews.ofb.biz/sa1290
Should we call these new devices running #PebbleOS Pebbloids?
By me for @hackster_io, “The return of Pebble: you can’t keep a good watch down!” Some thoughts on @ericmigi announcement and the return of #Pebble. https://www.hackster.io/news/the-return-of-pebble-you-can-t-keep-a-good-watch-down-759fdd351b20
Heard the news about #Pebble coming back so I dug out my Time Steel and it's working great!
OOOooooh, it looks like #Pebble is making a comeback! I *miss* my Dick Tracey watch.
Just signed up; that's one newsletter I would actually love to read: https://repebble.com/
they shipped me this shirt for free the last month before they were acquired by Google. my favorite shirt of all time! now, they’re coming back! #pebble #smartwatch #pebbleos #pebblewatch
Is a #pebble considered retro computing yet?
I think the funniest part is seeing all the apps from a bygone era, like Pandora and Swarm #pebble
Maybe I need to write an Amber app for it #pebble
