Historian & Anthropologist of security technologies, once great lockpicker, now just a great dad.

Impossible to overstate how much I think about locks...
Lockpicks (my answer to everything, though)

Or engraved handcuffs, handcuffwarehouse.com offer free engraving on most of their models.

I biffed it, meant to do 15 for you/overhead, +100 for the pot, but didn't update my message in between. Same name as on here :)

Also what a wild cluster of syllables in that headline.

BA in Anthropology. Been plugging away at it for a decade, if I don't biff it at the finish line, I should be done by 12/5.

Mmmmmmmmmm

That's a good thought. I also haven't been able to deal with it sensorially and just generally prefer text to video in most circumstances.

It's fun!! And pretty easy, you can do the candle style or, they make wax cartridges that fit in hot glue guns now...

Not at all! Those are a delight and are actually what my wife most frequently uses her letterpress clients. She offers the real deal w/custom engraving + gives the couple the original stamp she uses as a wedding gift...but most people don't want to shell out for that :P

Oh dang, only just saw this! My wife is a printer who loves the history and culture of the craft, any chance there is a recording available to pass along?

And whenever we would need something (a projector turned on or a door unlocked) my peers would ask me to go ask the librarians for help because I was "friends with them", but I wasn't! I was just polite and the librarians were as excited to be nice to me as I was to be nice to them!

At Starbucks my district team used to meet once a month or so at the local library. Every time we got there I would stop by the desk to say hello, and every time we left I would drop by to thank the librarians for the use of their space. In 4 years I never saw one of my peers do the same.

Yup, released a couple years ago I think. Haven't really followed him, but at the store level he has come up from 3 different people during my training.

They REALLY remember the impact here.

Hiiiiiiiii. Just workin' like a jerk, moved to TJX a month ago, truly impressed how much people are still talking about Albert Gonzalez, btw! But, I recently started taking on workshops again. Did a thing with Sparrows a couple months ago and doing a gratis event for a makerspace up in NH tonight :)
