The first 2/3 are similar to my NYC talk, but I made a really cool addition for the final third! :)

If you're doing a coding presentation, please turn your IDE to light mode and make your font size MASSIVE.

In a world of touch screens, buttons and knobs are vastly underrated.

Does anyone know of a biodegradable filament I can use for #3dprinting that can be purchased in the US? Everything I've found is in Europe and won't ship internationally. 😭

Pandora started throwing 80's music at me randomly. That decade had some *bangers*.

I've come to realize that my Kindle is the last piece of technology that consistently brings me joy. Everything else is designed to extract value out of me. The Kindle though? Almost exclusively adds it.

I designed, printed, and assembled my own logo clock. I'm super happy with it! #3dprinting #clock

This display case for miniatures is powered by Flutter.

I threw together a simple app to give each mini its own unique dynamic background.

The case took 14 prototypes and 2.5 months to create. 🙃

Took some experimenting, but I now have an Arduino sketch to show me a random cat every 5 minutes. Also working on a 3d printed case - found one that fits well but need to customize the back for the board

Transform your 3D prints:

- Start with 120-grit
- Move to 200-grit
- Add water
- Feel the surface
- Clean thoroughly
- Prime lightly
- Paint precisely

Each step builds on the last.
Skip none.
