Back from Defcon 32 with knowledge swag but no voice
I had a great time this year. i went deep into the sticker game and spent WAY too much time playing with the badge. Playing with the badge allowed me to meet and work with some incredible people with whom we learned, laughed, and lamented the badge’s terrible supplied SD cards. This year i brought flyers to promote my phone adventure game and joined in #StickerLife with a supply of stickers of my own. unfortunately the printers gave me too many flyers, but not enough stickers.
My game did get some traction this year for the first time. Still no winners, but i did get this incredible voicemail from one of the players. I appreciated more ridiculous phone stuff. great job whoever you are!
The Badge had a lot of problems. only some of which were patched with updates. I excitedly made changes, but then the SD card would fail and be unable change back. currently mine is stuck as a Mario Game, which is not so terrible. i can finish the Defcon GameBoy game on an emulator.
back in the tube. another MRI!
More brain scans. more than 20 minutes in the tube. not my favorite place. but the images are neat. i hope i was still enough. (not really examining my brain, but my jaw)
My first blackberry!

Stephen Colbert at the Dolby Theatre!

Solar Eclipse 2024 – Paris TX!
Went all the way to Paris, TX just to find clouds! turned out to be perfect for a few shots with my iPhone. Shortly after first contact, the clouds disappeared. Here are my iPhone pictures, enjoy.
Local business got in on the fun and even more exciting, Banana Pudding Kettle Corn!
A visit to Meow Wolf Dallas on my Eclipse 2024 Roadtrip.
I couldn’t pass through Dallas for the Eclipse without stopping at the newest installation by my favorite art collective. I was ready to continue my immersive art experience. No booping this time, you collected accomplishments with TXT messages. (i found a few secrets). As usual, the reality bending transitions and transposition of Meow Wolf installation delight and amuse.
I have been walking into refrigerators at Meow Wolf since visiting House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe. It was exciting to see that all refrigerators come together in the latest installation. I had to try out the popsicle door.
Visiting Wildflowers at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
Fun visit, amazing views, beautiful flowers.
i climbed a mountain. almost.
I have wanted to climb Ladyface for ages. The weather was perfect and my morning was free. As i drove over, there was some fog still suspended in the morning chill. Flowers were blooming, bees buzzing, and bunnies taking care of buisness. The view from the bottom was a bit daunting. I spent too much time with my camera and drone, so i didn’t quite reach the summit. i also allowed more time than required for the decent. I will return in part 2!
