I had a great time @crowdsupply #teardown2025 . Thanks to everyone who told me you liked my battery talk or panel words of DEFINITELY NOT ADVICE 😜. I can’t believe it’s already over! I was terrible at taking pictures except for these - faces from Sat night that turned into stickers.

But wait wait, there’s more more! Unofficial geeky clothing giveaway/swap happening in one of the fitting rooms. I mean, it seemed….fitting. 😂

Most of these are vintage Threadless curvy/tight fit size L but there are some unisex XL, unisex S, and curvy M in there. Also unworn tags-on glow in the dark constellation tights from Svaha and some other Svaha things in there. Got nerdwear that needs a new home? Bring it!

But wait, there’s more! There are some of our V1 cloud soldering kits and already assembled blinky kit at this exhibit too. Take one!

It Never Rains on Coin Cells is up @crowdsupply #teardown2025 ! It’s an explanatory and interactive exhibit - there’s interesting wiring on the raindrops using 4-pin pebble-style LED strands with a data return wire, and there are instructions for how to change the pattern playlist. It uses a @wizard Pixelblaze Pico and our Tentacle Buddy, Tentacle Breakout, & Coin Cell Power boards.

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).

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.

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.
