"Ohhhh, I remember you! You overclocked a dildo, right?"

Deer and/or capybara, he/him, maybe a necessary quest item
I strongly believe we should all be making art that makes people do this:

Here are a few pics of the 14-part mould.

Many COG attendees theorized that 6 simultaneous users would feasible. I only managed to get 3 at once, but that should be easy to beat, right?

The creatures at #COGweekend got a sneak peek at this toy, and the first chance to try it out. I'm still processing all the lovely feeling I have from my time there this year. I'm so grateful to contribute to a massive freaky event with an experienced, enthusiastic, imaginative community 🥰

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your....*attempts to wink at the camera, fails*

Behold, the Roman Dodecahedron Fleshlight! This was the most complicated and least practical silicone pour I've ever done. Never stop making high effort goofs!

That took way longer than I expected. I could have used more of the SMD1 magic metal....

Up next is swapping out the joystick on my Steam Controller. They stopped selling these like 7 years ago? And it's very different than the new one Gaben announced recently.

The potentiometer doesn't snap back to home anymore so I'm replacing it. And look how worn out the thumbstick is, bonkers!

MY BOYYYYYYYYY, MY BOY LIVES 🥺🥺🥺

I need you to understand, this iron is maybe the tool that I have the most emotional attachment to. I'm so relieved this is all it took to get it operational again and keep it from becoming e-waste

Chipquik SMD1 is hella fun, highly recommend

Got the USB-C connector off with no lifted pads!

Hoo-ee, we are Ballmer Peaking tonight and it's time to do some rework

First on the block is my beloved TS-80P, the USB-C connector stopped holding cables but everything else works fine, I think

I'm using this as an excuse to finally try Chipquik SMD1, too

I had a spontaneous celebration of the beige computer era with @d3cay9.bsky.social who captured my image onto a 3.5" floppy with her Sony Mavica 🥺

So much old tech—just outside those double doors was the Furrytel booth where a lynx and an ibex were sending faxes and stuff

I love the sticker culture at fur cons like #AFC2025. I started the weekend with 4 stickers on here, just to gently indicate "hey this is a surface you should put stickers on," and let con-goers take it from there.

Thank you everyone! Next time Chigüire will be bare and ready for stickering again!

Found one last roll of thermal sticker paper in my bag, so I'm back out for one more jaunt as a large South American polaroident

Extra context: a few days after I first showed Flausch the Red-Blue Chair and pitched her on this idea for a pic, she saw one in real life for the first time

New smut from @roadkillcircus.bsky.social ! Featuring me and @pupballoon.bsky.social and one of my top five favorite chairs! Thank you flauschie for being such a good and sweet and round puppy 🥺

I have last-minute decided to get Chigüire the Windows 98 Capybara operational for AFC this weekend. If you see this boxy boy, please sticker him up and ask him to take your picture!

My first full-color silkscreen PCB, yaaaaay

@zakeno.bsky.social drew this headshot six? seven? years ago as just a little warmup sketch, but I treasure it greatly!

home. tired.

This Open Hardware Summit mug survived 38 days in a too-small carry-on backpack being battered around, shoved into train compartments, taken to see dozens of wonderful people in dozens of metaphorically-cool meteorologically-hot places. I was 100% resigned to it breaking, but no!

I made my first Telegram bot! The API has some really nice ways of sending media with a spoiler layer over it, but the clients make it especially hard to apply a spoiler to gifs. So I made a bot that does it for me. github.com/heyspacebuck...

Leaving Shenzhen today. On my way home to an ash-covered, thoroughly-smoked, but mercifully still intact Pasadena apartment.

Out of the Firewall, into the Fire.

updating my résumé

It's happening, I'm finally giving my deer sona a name-name: Kester! Like the brand of solder. Hello Kester!

Also taking this opportunity to update the design a little bit; some silver in the sideburns and other cosmetic changes to reflect parts of me I want to reflect.

Art by @catboots.co.uk ❤️

I'm having serious PCD today! Here's a clip of Pepper being suspiciously good at giving a 3d printed capybara an ear piercing. It's almost as if they've done this before.....

The guillotine earring is sublime, it was designed by them and by Claire (who also made the moomin, link above)

The stickering continues, and an ear piercing, too 🎵
