In search of good memes, emojis, and a quick scheme to make fast cash: I decided to put an LED Matrix into my college graduation cap. While making some missteps along the way, I learned a lot of valuable lessons including how to retrieve data from websites easily and regularly (even if they do not want you to), sourcing and evaluating hardware components, and connecting everything using plain Python. I will describe my experience going from a complete beginner to an expert as I step into the next phase of my life, making my mother proud along the way.
