My LED Orb project that I wrote up for @makemagazine is currently on the website with no paywall at https://makezine.com/projects/orb-sessed-led-sphere/ if anyone feels like tackling a fiddly, challenging, time-consuming project with a really cool end result! I'm very proud of the design as well as the very high pun-to-word-count ratio in the article.
@MakeAugusta @joeycastillo y'all! That looks like a fun day!!
@joeycastillo get some good rest; you deserve it.
"What's your favorite part of Defcon this year?"
Meeting so many amazing people. Y'all are so beautiful and wonderful and I love you all.

Made my second sling bag in two days. This one is a "half-moon" bag I made following the instructions on a YouTube video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mub9Kbs3LE) It was surprisingly straightforward to sew, and a good opportunity to use my recent impulse purchase of floral canvas fabric (it was on sale!) The only feature I don't love is that the lining is finished with binding on the inside, but no one else will see that part.

Getting to be friends (and collaborators) with super talented makers has some nice bonus benefits! In addition to the gorgeous Fibonacci heart pendant, @jasoncoon sent me a flexible PCB he designed and assembled (!) that has 128 tiny addressable LEDs laid out in a Fibonacci pattern, along with the vector file to cut out a faux leather cover. The whole assembly looks truly stunning in cuff bracelet form.

Casually reading the new issue of @makemagazine, I see a cool collaborative article and LED creation by @anu1905 and @arturo182. Then I unexpectedly see my name listed as an inspiration. 🥹🤗
@joeycastillo that was one heck of a fast/motivated ride!
Time to start going through my pockets and backpack and looking for all the blades and bladed tools I've forgotten are in there; tomorrow's the flight to #Defcon!

Finished stitching the sides with some waxed linen cord using a collapsible eye needle and some leather needles when I needed to open up the holes a bit.
All credit and glory to @geekmomprojects for the brilliant 3D printed bracelet and laser cut leatherette cover. I just swapped her hex grid for my own flexible Fibonacci128 HDR.
@nuintari@infosec.exchange of course it includes you; you are why I posted this. Because someone needed to hear it and today that was you.
If nobody has reminded you that you're an amazing bad ass of a human being today I'd like to do so now.
@spiegelmama @XenoPhage after they get to using an oscope they can look for serial data, SPI, and I2C (some scopes can read this themselves).
@XenoPhage @spiegelmama getting an Arduino kit and learning how electronics work is a good start. If they do enough of the projects in The Arduino Cookbook they will begin to recognize various sensors and signals.
After that a multimeter and an oscilloscope are good tools to explore various electronics to see what's happening.

Progress! With the help of @geekmomprojects's brilliant design, I've mounted the flexible Fibonacci128 PCB onto a 3D printed bracelet, and covered it with laser cut leatherette. Now I need to stitch the sides.
