Preview of Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
After arriving, we went straight to Skywalker Grill for lunch. The food was incredible and the views spectacular. The architecture was beautiful with wood, metal, and glass working together in almost organic ways.
Immediately after lunch, we hit up the star wars gallery, i took so many 3D photos and even a few 3D scans. This is the best one i got all day: The fate of Jaba the Hut.
#Defcon 34 was meshtastic!
i am back home after another incredible con. I returned with t-shirts, badges, and bursting with knowledge. One of the fun and interesting message channels this year was Meshtastic, Defcon had their own firmware again this year, but from what i hear, it went much better this year. there was a wealth of information and humor coming over this tiny radio.
The Lonley Hackers Club was printing the meshtastic messages out of a receipt printer, the pile got pretty big. Even the Bio Hacking Village added LoRa to their badge!

i found some older pics from the end of 2022 of the mall abandoned. enjoy. Continue reading “Big changes seen from epic vantage!”
First visit to Tuna Canyon since the fires
Great weather inspired the visit. i was curious how much it had changed since the fires. unfortunately it changed a lot. There were more than a few fire scars, a couple of missing oak trees and some different trails. i met some brush cleaning goats.
Checking out Hummingbird Trail in Simi Valley.
Continuing my exploration of these hills, i found another trailhead. This time in Simi Valley and despite a understated entrance, we found some exciting features. Including this wash under the 118! Respite from the sun and incredible acoustics. There was a cave that none of the trails we found seemed to head towards. We met another hiker who gave us an idea of how to find it. Next time.
