I put down SparkleChicken Heavy Industries, Chief Engineer. We manufacture motorcycle parts and satellite guidance systems.

The SparkleChicken thing existed long before, but I used SCHI so many times that I designed a logo and bought the domain name. Every time I spin up a circuit board for a personal project, I get the logo silk screened on it. Been pretty fun over the years.

It’s probably too expensive for a joke but you should make a circuit board in the shape of a chicken, one side a bunch of leds on the other a control circuit to randomly light them so the chicken circuit hoard looks like it’s sparkling.

  You may have just spoken it into existence. It’s a great idea, but it’s been a bit since I looked into circuit boards with custom shapes.

    Can you just have the board made as a square and then just cut it out with a jig saw?

    Probably? But then we’re entering into the land of Effort That Isn’t Fun*. The corpses of too many of my unfinished projects litter its plains.
    
    *For me. I’m not disparaging jigsaws.
