"Transgender Insanity"
Found myself existing with my partner in stupid times, so figured I'd paint about it. Thanks to the current administration for the title.

It'll be up at the Babewalls Women's History month show, opening tonight, March 14th 5-9pm @ Truss House

#DEFCON33 Theme Drop!

“Access Everywhere.”

This year we’re thinking about how to make information and services available to everyone. Available wherever you are, whoever you are, and usable no matter how you need to connect.

Less walled gardens, more sunlight.

You can read the theme story and get some visual inspiration at https://defcon.org/html/defcon-33/dc-33-theme.html. You can get it in a PDF on media.defcon.org. Homework assignments to get you into the vibe coming soon.

We can’t wait to see where you’ll take it.

See you at #defcon

DEF CON 32 Badges! I can finally spill the secrets!
The badge is built using the brand new (released this morning!) Raspberry Pi RP2350.
It is, of course, a cat. But flip it upside down and you can play the DEF CON game we built with GB Studio, running on a custom Gameboy emulator on custom hardware, snug inside an ABS injection molded case. Shouts to the Catball team and pals! Bonnie Finley, Nutmeg Anne, Will Tuttle, Dmitry GR, Chris Matlby, Joe Grand, Legion303, Jason Scott, Raspberry Pi & their production partners
More info on my blog and in my talk tomorrow at con!

DEF CON 32 Badges

I'm so excited to share this massive, year-long project (though it's kinda crazy that we managed to compress it in to a single year). If you're a DEF CON attendee, you know how over-the-top the badges can be. My first year creating the DEF CON badge was last year, a non-electronic badge year. You can find my talk about

Hey my #defcon talk is up. I wrote it a couple hours before I had to get on stage, so it's not too bad considering!

DEF CON 31 - Making The DEF CON 31 Badge Mar Williams

YouTube

for #defcon31 this year, @mar, @p0lr and I built the Penrose mosaic badge site (which is still up for a bit longer over at https://spux.art) in 6wks. It was stressful af, and there are several things I would add/change if I had more time. HOWEVER for the time we had we made something really neat. Think r/place but with Penrose tiles. We spent a chunk of the con playing smash-a-bug, and pushing shit straight to prod. However it was a blast and I'm pretty proud of the sheer amount of math I managed to write in the short time I had. I'll attach a little video, since the majority of the functionality isn't visible without a UUID to login. The idea was you would get a UUID with your badge, and could use that to place it on the board. Of course there were a handful of easter eggs, and a puzzle to solve in Choctaw. The highlight was meeting the super dedicated and smart people that actually solved the puzzle. Props to rhiann & Tommy, you two rock.

Wanted to give folks a heads up. There's some issues between Abobe and Corel Draw. If you're building an #SAO for #DEFCON31, and working in Corel Draw, double check your measurments. Here's what they should be.
