Right, last #Hackster round-up of the week and then I'm off to enjoy the rare sunshine I can see out of the shed window.
First up is... well, nothing short of incredible. A working Game Boy Color... in a smartwatch form factor.
"That's easy," you cry, "emulate it on a microcontroller." Nope: this uses the original CPU and RAM, it's an honest-to-goodness clone. And has swappable carts. Physical carts. Yeah.
@hailey you made it into El Reg, congrats :)

I just saw the most amazingly corporate expression of "we did what the bosses wanted us to do, even though the research didn't support that." The actual phrase was:
The research employed a methodology that prioritized stakeholder voice over researcher interpretation.
I wonder if a data scientist slipped that in to make it clear to other folks how this happened. You don't have to write stuff like this if the boss wants to do what the research says is a good idea. You only have to write this if the research says one thing and the boss says another.

@mattround have you found Madonna’s grave? 😆
Been playing around with Friend on a swing. Might try and send them somewhere mellow for a soothing swing each week.
