Haiku in bakery window:
“Life is uncertain,
tomorrow never promised.
Eat dessert first.”
It's a good feeling when you get back after a month of travel and learn your team did great while you were gone and leadership is looking for your input on some important future direction decisions.
Back from Burning Man; my Best Burn Ever.
If we met and talked please know that you (yes, really, you!) were a part of making this possible for me and I love and appreciate you for that (even if it was a short moment).
I managed to find some Internet here on the playa; I just wanted to send my love and well wishes to y'all.
I'm having a wonderful time. I hope you are too.
Miss you all.

said this to someone on my discord on the topic of making open hardware products; felt relevant to share:
it's hard to do these things at all, it's excruciatingly hard to do them well, and it can be overwhelming, in every sense of the word, to do these things in the open. at teardown another maker told me that making open hardware is a lot like getting punched repeatedly in the face, so, yeah: i have mad respect for anyone who braves all that and gets an actual product over the finish line.
@geekmomprojects absolutely not possible. Keep being nerdy!
It's 2:28 PM Pacific and I'm glad you are alive.
Thank you for being here with me.
You are worth it.
@dr_a I was tired but it was nice to see you too!
It's 9:59 PM Pacific and I'm glad you're alive.
Thanks for being here with me. Especially if you said hi to me at defcon.

Fun summer camp. Gave away a bunch of prizes, caught up with a friend, hugged @Blenster, met a proto-hacker, and maybe helped make the world a slightly better place
@thegpfury my current plan is to run the Hardware Hacking Village again.
It's 8:57 PM unknown time zone as I fly to Vegas for Defcon and I'm glad you're alive.
Thank you for being here with me. Please take good care of yourself.
@kuoirad that would have been an awesome job however Texas as a state seems less and less ideal; beyond the obvious political crap is the need to have full home power backup system.
Living with me a bit like being trapped in a house with Simon Whistler and Steve Irwin; lots of random facts and unstoppable enthusiasm.
I make up for it with the Adam Savage thing; I'll make you stuff!
Dear ADHD; please let me remember that I said I'd do this.
Thank you.

a (human) friend texted me this link with the question “is this real?” and maybe I’ve been in the mountains for too long but it can’t possibly be real, right? Like as a critique or a satire it’s both incisive and clever, but as an earnest attempt at a product it’s just… deeply unhinged?
“When will I receive my friend?”
“Pre-orders will start shipping Q1 2025.”

Hey friend; I'm heading to bed and I hope you sleep well when you get around to it.
Take good care of yourself for me please. You're worth it.
