Had a blast showing off #Openterface #MiniKVM at #Teardown2024 event last month! Big thanks to @crowdsupply for hosting and to everyone who stopped by our demo table. It was great meeting so many curious minds and tech enthusiasts. Here are some snaps from the event!

Tomatoes (and one precocious strawberry) are just starting to come in from the many plants in our garden. While the harvest is still manageable, I was inspired to lay them out in a histogram (tomatogram?) copied from @alpenglow's clever #teardown2024 talk.

Okay here are some non wiggly photos from @crowdsupply #teardown2024

There's @jasoncoon and @geekmomprojects (in the shadowy corner) setting up.

@AlieGG under her arrangement of Jason's technocircles.

@benhencke and @LaserMistress's Synthia (which I just found out was their doing) and @icymakes's out of focus butterfly in the back.

And if anyone knows who did that Mandelbrot thing let me know and I'll tag them.

Even more (and slightly closer to properly exposed) Wigglygrams from #teardown2024.

@strangeparts and @adistuder are the only ones in these who I know are on Mastodon.

Some more wigglegrams from #teardown2024.

There was barely enough light for my plastic fixed-shutter Nishika, so I've decided to lean into the grittiness.

I probably wouldn't have spent hours pulling images out of the noise if I didn't like the people in them so much.

Feeling inspired after #Teardown2024, gonna do a little schematic and hopefully PCB design with #KiCad, and since one of my goals is to demystify this kind of stuff and make it less intimidating, gonna practice explaining what I'm doing, assuming no pre-existing knowledge.

So if you're curious about how electronics stuff comes into existence, come along and let me know how I'm doing, especially if you don't know anything about it yet! #pcb #circuitdesign #makers #livestream #owncast

Inspired by the retro-computing table at #Teardown2024, I made an optical "punch card reader" (okay, it's a scantron scanner).

I'm using 4x6 index cards since my printer can print on them.

Uses a Pololu reflectance sensor array.

More like scantron than punchcard, but still a fun little project!

@helenleigh @geekmomprojects @jasoncoon @charlyn @LaserMistress Here's the first batch of wiggly photos from #teardown2024

that’s a wrap on #teardown2024 for me… see ya later lloyd center mall!!

A about the last 2 days of @crowdsupply #Teardown2024 which was just ER. MEH. GERD. amounts of fun! Adding posts as quick as I can thumb-type. :)

First up - @charlyn ‘s amazing LED jewelry display. I think the whirling ring is my favorite. There were so many thoughtful details in both her designs and her displays, it was super cool to hear how she put it all together. Will post a video at the end, as those take a while to upload.

Bonus pics from some of the #teardown2024 after parties, featuring @alpenglow and @AlieGG

We ate, drank and did cool things together every evening after the event, including a two day puzzle hunt, a hacker space garden party with tacos, a roof top reception with dumplings and drinks at several cute and quirky local bars.

Shot Through the Heart: An Introduction to Fault Injection (@crowd_supply #Teardown2024) slides are up! https://grandideastudio.com/portfolio/security/intro-to-fault-injection/

Decompressing at the airport while waiting for my flight home from #teardown2024. It was an absolutely wonderful weekend. Well paced, with great conversations, presentations, social gatherings and exhibitions. Kudos to @crowdsupply and in particular @helenleigh for talking the time to consider the innumerable details that went into making it a welcoming and engaging event. While waiting for my flight, I'm going to try to post some new (non-chronological) images from the weekend.

I never imagined that I would ever get x-ray images of a printed circuit board that I designed! This is my 1" F128 with @adafruit QT Py onboard. I have 24 more images like this that I need to figure out how to perspective correct and stitch together.
Thank you so much to Ken from Chippie for capturing these at @crowdsupply #TearDown2024!

See the image alt text for a description of what's shown.

welp, back home from #teardown2024 and it was a super great time! Not just catching up with a bunch of friends, had many super awesome conversation and have come back home super motivated to hack on some projects.

I'm closer to finding words for how #teardown2024 was for me while it's fresh

So I'm a huge relational dynamics and trauma nerd. I almost became a therapist, went into tech instead

Teardown, for me, isn't just Teardown. It represents a genre of events, the whole niche industry I'm sliding into, tech generally

And it was GOOD. But COMPLEX. Emotionally? Like feeling NRE (new relationship energy) that you also feel is untrustworthy, might drop you if you aren't rich, smart, lovely enough

Tricky
