Bear hunt

Posted on by Bart

Corona times

At the moment, various Corona-measures are in place. People are advised to stay at home here in Belgium, but it’s allowed to go out for a walk with your family.

Nationwide people are putting teddy bears at their windows. That way, those little family walks turn into real bear hunts!

Recycle time!

I decided to make a special bear to entertain the kids during their family walks.

First I recycled some old Ikea furniture into a bear chair.

After that, I installed the Raspberry Pi components of my Wicked Witch project in the chair.

The singing bear

And here’s the result: The singing bear has motion detection. So whenever someone passes by Teddy, he starts singing songs like “bare necessities”.

If you are familiar with Lord of the Rings, then you have probably already heard of Gandalf the Grey, Saruman the White, or maybe even Radagast the Brown. And perhaps you even read somewhere that there are even two more wizards, of which even Gandalf doesn’t remember the name anymore. But did you know that there is a sixth wizard called Bart (referred to as Baruman by some)? While the other wizards were fighting wars over a single ring, Bart was collecting hundreds of rings playing Sonic the Hedgehog. Furthermore, Bart used his Palantir to watch Star Wars instead of challenging Sauron. And finally he visited the libraries to study ancient lore, mostly found in comic books. Now however, Bart has grown up, married a sorceress, and they have two sweet little hobbits. You can follow Bart’s adventures on geekstuff.blog.
