#Teardown2025 was our best year ever. I helped with so many wonderful workshops and taught a workshop myself, using my EMF Explorer Badge soldering board to explore electromagnetic frequencies. Thanks to all the epic folks who taught workshops and attendees who helped make it a success.

Stickers! At #teardown2025 @clomads.bsky.social and I coerced a bunch of people into buying a $10 thermal label printer, and now I have a repo up for the sticker designs I was giving out. 1/2
three stickers, one is on holo material is rectangular and says "you can just make a circuit board and no one can stop you", another is on round pink holo material and says "do or diy trying" and features a skull, hammer, bent wrench, and soldering iron, the last is on rectangular holo material and says "let's make some motherfucking bacon" with a cartoon line drawing of a very cute pig.

Check out my #Teardown2025 talk! How I turned a DIY tool into a global open hardware product with 3,000+ users & $315K raised on Crowd Supply in just one year, with no big team or budget. If you're planning to crowdfund your own hardware, this might help. youtu.be/UeLW7RyTq3Y?... #Openterface

I was talking to someone at #teardown2025 about an online split keyboard generator that i said i'd look up and share but i cannot for the life of me remember who! so for whoever you are: ryanis.cool/dactyl/#manu...
Dactyl Generator
Fully customize a Dactyl keyboard from your browser. The ergonomic design reduces strain and lets you build your keyboard the way you like it.

Still coming down from the high and recovering from @crowdsupply.bsky.social #teardown2025! It's the best hacker con, so many cool things but it's the amazing people that make it so great. Thanks to @helenleigh.bsky.social and the entire Crowd Supply team for making it so welcoming & inclusive.

On the way home & discovered it's #MakeATerribleComicDay ! So here are a few cartoon-character highlights from #Teardown2025...

1 – Puzzle hunt gremlin charge!
2 – I LOVE my travel HW kit (cheap manicure tools).
3 – 2+ *other* nerds have Jabberwocky memorized?!
4 – Fetal position during my talk 🙃
Alex's sketchbook, with black pen + blue/green/yellow marker, held above the iconic PDX carpet. Panel 1: “Gremlin charge across the rainy bridge (for puzzle hunt clues)” – Deranged-looking Alex with big boots, skeleton overalls, and massive backpack, doing exactly that, with more chill team members in the distance. Panel 2: “Yelling about manicure kit as hardware tools… repeatedly…” – Beady-eyed Alex pointing emphatically down at the 2 clippers (for wire cutting & stripping), small scissors, file, tweezers, and metal spudger, secured with elastic in their little case. Panel 3: “Jabberwocky-off at Autodesk roof party” – the back of Alex flailing in the foreground; Morgan reciting in the background. “OH FRABJOUS DAY etc.” Panel 4: Slide says “Acoustic vests and bracelets”; label says “Fully crumpling after reading this as ‘acoustic breasts’ during my talk” – podium in the foreground, with a balled-up Alex behind it on the floor.

I had a great time @crowdsupply.bsky.social #teardown2025 . Thanks to everyone who told me you liked my battery talk or panel words of DEFINITELY NOT ADVICE 😜. I can’t believe it’s already over! I was terrible at taking pictures except for these - faces from Sat night that turned into stickers.

I got to play a game on Jerry Belich's Choosatron with story by @cyborgurl.bsky.social on a thermal printer at #teardown2025 and it was delightful.
Laser cut box holding a receipt printer with four input buttons. Printer has an ongoing narrative with multiple choices on display.

Heading out from #teardown2025 now after an often hilarious off the record talk on manufacturing. Got to meet @joegrand.bsky.social at lunch and reminisce about the SCSISide homebrew for the Atari 2600 among other stuff. Great event!

Another fun day at #teardown2025. Had lunch with Arduboy creator Kevin Bates, then saw my buddy @mightyohm.bsky.social talk about useful tools for EE work you might not expect.

Good name for a tech group/collective/project from a phrase by @alexglow.bsky.social at #Teardown2025: Overlapping Nerds.

Was talking to a guy yesterday at #Teardown2025 about cyberpunk since he saw my author's copy of The Big Book of Cyberpunk. He said he gets depressed reading dystopian stories. I said I feel the same way when I read the news.
