Zapp updates his logos!
To be honest i wasn’t a fan of Elon before i bought my car. my biggest stated fear was that Elon would destroy Tesla before they finished my car. By that i meant that he would drive tesla into enshitification or bankruptcy before full self driving was ever realized. This afternoon, i’ve rebranded with the help of APX! Autobots rollout!
Happy Pi Day 2025!
Don’t worry i didn’t share my pie with this guy. i did run him arround in circles though.
Getting Spherical!
I got to visit the sphere. it’s got some amazing tech.
Back at the VCF making good on my threat to give them stuff!
As the Vintage Computer Festival Socal jumps back into action, I make good on my promise to bring a car full of ancient equipment. All free to a good home. As usual there were amazing systems from every era running and in beautiful shape. I even saw a man in an SGI kimono!
UPDATE: another carload including X10 automation and lots of original software in boxes. also, a pile of network gear!

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! EDIT: i think i found you Foxbox!
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.
Stephen Colbert at the Dolby Theatre!
incredible interview. wonderful stories. delightful.
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.
