Somehow I completely missed when #teardown2025 talks went live - here's mine on navigating battery regulations. Bonus butts in one of my slides. 😏 Also, the CFP for Teardown 2026 ends on the 15th so get your proposal in! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwUG_Hsgy1s&list=PLWI-vat9iWwelkCKx7yM97yTY0G4xne3Q&index=32&pp=iAQB

#Teardown2025 was our best year ever. I helped with so many wonderful workshops and taught a soldering workshop myself, using my EMF Explorer Badge soldering board to assemble and explore electromagnetic frequencies. Thanks to all the epic folks who taught workshops and attendees who helped make it a success.
At long last, I have finished editing the video of my talk from @crowdsupply #Teardown2025, "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of the Fourier Transform"! I think this is probably one of the better talks I have given, and I have really enjoyed getting to put together a more intuitive, rather than more mathematical, treatment of the technology that underpins almost all wireless telecommunication these days. I hope you enjoy it too -- feel free to share it around if you do!

@joeycastillo @crowdsupply my favorite #teardown2025 session amongst many great ones

One of the most striking (sad) things I encountered at the recent Teardown 2025 event was how few of the people had Masto accounts. This seems like it would be a natural demo for the Fediverse: aggressively DIY, tech sophisticated, with a bit of a rebel streak.

I don't know why those folks aren't gravitating to Masto, but I do think if that was understood, we could unlock a significant barrier to adoption -- at least among the people I'd want to hang with.

Check out my #Teardown2025 talk! How I turned a DIY tool into a global open hardware product with 3,000+ users & $315K raised on Crowd Supply in just one year, with no big team or budget. If you're planning to crowdfund your own hardware, this might help. https://youtu.be/UeLW7RyTq3Y?si=UEV1mET4i4zB8MzL

Stickers! At #teardown2025 @clomads and I coerced a bunch of people into buying a $10 thermal label printer, and now I have a repo up for the sticker designs I was giving out, plus tips and tricks for using the printer, plus links to fun holographic and glittery sticker stock. Thanks to Chloe for enabling me with the printer in the first place! Enjoy! https://github.com/AlpenglowIndustries/Stickers
I was talking to someone at #teardown2025 about an online split keyboard generator that i said i'd look up and share but i cannot for the life of me remember who! so for whoever you are: https://ryanis.cool/dactyl/#manuform
