I had this same experience two years ago, saw that no effort was made last year, plus that whole cool thing where they decided to tokenize my 2022 talk as an example of their “diversity” right before 2023’s event. 🙄. Which is why I’m also not attending Supercon anymore. If you want to catch an epic hacker con that’s incredibly fun and has a variety of talks, topics, and people, I suggest Teardown.

Today is a great day to spend some time leaving encouraging comments for strangers.
Let's gas each other up
Good morning Beautiful; it's nice to see you here.
What's your plan for today? How can we help each other reach our goals today?
We got this!
It's been awhile since I last reminded you that I love you.
I love you.
Please take good care of yourself for me. You are worth it.

The Kraken lurks in the depths, waiting to mesmerize you with its color-changing cephalopodan chromatophores, and it's back in stock in my @tindie store!

@XenoPhage @roseveleth The Arduino Cookbook is a great resource for this sort of project; it'll teach you the basics and then give you a "recipe" to follow along and modify for your needs.

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.
