In Portland for #teardown2025 ! It was a nice flight up, pics out the airplane window are of the coast near SLO. Wow do I love the public transit here. $2.80 for the Max Red line from the airport to the hotel, and only 30 mins (vs 21 mins and who know what for a Lyft).
Ok #teardown2025 i'll be seeing you soon! Got my slides ready!

Transcript from 503: The Tiniest Laptops with Emily Lovell, Christopher White, and Elecia White.

But the company would access all those recordings and data mine them for anything they could sell. No, they don’t tell people that. Yes, everyone does know it. No, there’s nothing you can do about it.
The build process for the sign, bumping it for people who have asked about it on other platforms.

Attached: 1 video I made a sign for a protest tomorrow - there were so many things I could say that I had a hard time narrowing it down, but this is a decent summary. I didn’t really mean to add LEDs, it just happened because I have piles of them lying around. Thx to @LaserMistress and @wizard@leds.social for making great hardware and pointing out excellent LEDs to stash for when I have a need like this one.

Ok, did something. In honor of the No Kings protests today.

If you send people to lightgraffiti.club they will find the tutorial for my DIY light graffiti projector out of hardware store parts.

That is all.

Only snapped a few pix because I was busy waving my sign, chanting, and saying of course! to everyone who asked to take a pic of my sign. It’s a choice to stand out and it’s a choice that I have the privilege to make where I am and who I am. Thanks to everyone else out there also making that choice. #nokings

Happy that I picked an evergreen all-purpose message when I built this sign.

Sad that this message is fucking evergreen.

Hey folks, been absent for a while. It's good tho, I'm living life and have a lot of high-quality things going on.

But want to offer that if you build one of these handheld projectors this summer I will assist you (it is my tutorial after all).

The hardest parts are getting the correct type of flashlight, sourcing the lens and cutting a stencil.

Lasercut stencils are best, and if you build one of these I'll mail you a few (within reason).
