Prepping for #teardown2026 and flying to PDX in a week. Thanks to @alpenglow.bsky.social for laser cutting this black LED acrylic for my demo box.

A carry-on sized pellican case is open and has a piece of matte black acrylic filling out most of the lid - there are 3 LED strips glowing rainbow from behind. Two vertical and one horizontal. In the bottom half there is a similarly cut white piece of acrylic with a battery bank, travel router, rapberry pi and a handful of other electronics sitting on it

As I’m putting the final thoughts into my talk for @crowdsupply.bsky.social #Teardown2026 next week, what do YOU want to know about the process of shutting down my business? I’m leaving a chunk of time for an Ask Me Anything, but would love some input beforehand! www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/por...

Who is going to SOAK next weekend? I’ll be there with @lasermistress.bsky.social ‘s There U Glow camp and am doing an intro to circuit boards talk on Sunday.

What the hell is a circuit board and what do you mean I can just make one?
À There U Glow
• Sunday 1-2pm
Class/Workshop, Miscellaneous
Instructor - Carrie Sundra (she/her)|
Do you vaguely know what a circuit board is, but not how it works or how it's constructed? Would you like to have someone explain this and the jargon around them? Are you mystified by how someone can seemingly just pull a fresh circuit board design out of thin air, show the physical board to gf you, and be like "l made this!"? "

and it's her default art form for rage-making and political commentary. She loves to break down gatekeeping and share her knowledge with anyone who's curious.

IMPORTANT LOCATION INFO: We are located at the SOAK Welcome Sign at the end of Forest Entry closest to where you drive in. Most map resources are incorrect about our placement. Don't let that stop

The last 2 sentences of that quote resonate for me: “I don’t want to be the person arguing with a robot, or wasting my time reading something that a real person couldn’t be bothered to write.” I have zero desire to interact with AI, I just want computers to deterministically do what I tell them.

More progress on designing a soldering kit badge this year for my femme/queer electronics camp. Compliments please, I'm very very tired and pushing super hard and could use them.

a screenshot of a design of a 2d lineart guillotine. It has decorative flourishes with little hearts on the top and bottom, and words running down each side that say "Eat The Rich" and "There U Glow". On the left is a black and white version, on the right a black and gold one.

Project idea for Pin-Bot - mine came without the red light bar topper, and I don’t really like the way they look anyway - a bit too cop car for a space robot. So I’m thinking of building my own infinity mirror topper using the same incandescent flashers.

@alpenglow.bsky.social got me wondering if it's possible to do an infinity mirror with a 45º bend in it. Turns out it totally is. (There were much easier ways to validate this that don't involve an overnight render)
