@chrysn @chipperdoodles I LOVE Chippy's work, and have been meaning to make a faceplate eventually! Much more likely now that I've fixed my long-broken setup! Our styles really would look great together.

Talked a bit about convergent PCB evolution (including Anwaar, and a similar unpublished project of mine from a few years prior) in my #HackOClock stream the other day – starting somewhere around 1h 15m in: https://www.youtube.com/live/3QoSB-L0WQQ

Love to yell about their gorgeous board art 🤩✨

Going live in a few to recap #Supercon! Plus a #HackOClock for my MicroSD data-storage #PCB #jewelry, a vintage #electronics parts haul from Apex Surplus for my retro #cyberdeck, travel hardware #EDC, & more 👀

"Coming up shortly" graphic – a sick-ass cartoon of Alex riding a mechatronic rhino (offscreen), with Archimedes on her shoulder and a giant soldering iron strapped to her back, doing something cool with a laptop and hardware desktop. (This was created by a human designer Hackster.io contracted years ago! I don't own it, but it rules.)

It's #HackOClock! Going live in a few, to figure out whether I can #repair my old Aftershokz (now Shokz) bone-conduction headphones... I use these all the time with Libby & Libro.fm ✨

Going live in ~60m with a special, cozy #Halloween livestream: my favorite spooky-style #PCBs, plus some live #hardware hacking! I've been brewing up some fun new stuff in #KiCad 🛠️✨

Oh, and here's that page with upcoming events (and an overview of the various livestreams I do – #HacksterCafe, #DayGlowShow, #HackOClock, and #SpaceSongSunday): https://www.notion.so/alexglow/Live-shows-events-2785bc4fe79880509c57fc1872e76ed1

Last week also featured a #HackOClock, wherein I spent 3.5 hours giving Archimedes a speech module and backlights behind his eye-moonstones. Both survived Maker Faire weekend! 🤩✨ https://www.youtube.com/live/ewK7fspN_DM

Thumbnail with Archie in action, on my shoulder at Maker Faire. He's a blue 3D-printed owl robot, and currently sports some extra little accessories upcycled from bike inner-tubes: a bow necktie, hatband, and accent feathers.

It’s #HackOClock 🛠✨ Going live in a few to get my owl #CompanionBot, Archimedes, ready to co-host #HacksterIO Impact Spotlights tomorrow and rock #MakerFaire this weekend!

Two versions of Archimedes, my owl companion bot who usually rides around on my shoulder. He’s mostly 3D-printed in blue, with a scarf or bandana covering the electronics, and has a beak made of cut-up CDs. He also sports a little top hat with a white arcade button. V1 (right) has a camera and speaker in his eyes; V2 (left) has LEDs set behind moonstones.

Going live for #HackOClock: assembling my new #HacksterIO SAO (my first #PCB built in Fusion), which debuted at #DefCon33 last weekend :) I'll also share some tidbits from the event.
