"Coming up shortly" graphic – a sick-ass cartoon of Alex riding a mechatronic rhino (offscreen), with Archimedes on her shoulder and a giant soldering iron strapped to her back, doing something cool with a laptop and hardware desktop. (This was created by a human designer Hackster.io contracted years ago! I don't own it, but it rules.)

Going live in ~60m with a special, cozy #Halloween livestream: my favorite spooky-style #PCBs, plus some live #hardware hacking! I've been brewing up some fun new stuff in #KiCad 🛠️✨

DIY robotics, wearable tech, music, languages, and more – with a cozy, chaotic, techno-arcane flavor. I've been creating videos for Hackster.io's channel since 2015, and making electronics since '09. ...

Finally, here's that page with upcoming events (and an overview of the various livestreams I do – #HacksterCafe, #DayGlowShow, #HackOClock, and #SpaceSongSunday): www.notion.so/alexglow/Liv...

...Now featuring this amazing #MakerFaire Bay Area moment with Valkirma :D
Alex gives a silly grin, stabilizing Archimedes (a blue 3D-printed robot owl with bike inner-tube feathers and accents) while leaning in for a pic with Valkirma, who wears her stunning costume-assemblage. It's a dazzling black-blue-and-neon-green avian outfit, with ruffled collar and variegated wing feathers, surmounted by a crown of crow beaks.

Last week also featured a #HackOClock, wherein I spent 3.5 hours giving Archimedes a speech module and backlights behind his eye-moonstones. All survived Maker Faire weekend! 🤩✨ www.youtube.com/live/ewK7fsp...

Two versions of Archimedes, my owl companion bot who usually rides around on my shoulder. He’s mostly 3D-printed in blue, with a scarf or bandana covering the electronics, and has a beak made of cut-up CDs. He also sports a little top hat with a white arcade button. V1 (right) has a camera and speaker in his eyes; V2 (left) has LEDs set behind moonstones.

Going live for #HackOClock: assembling my new #HacksterIO SAO (my first #PCB built in Fusion), which debuted at #DefCon33 last weekend :) I'll also share some tidbits from the event.

Video thumbnail, showing a round, dark-blue board that links to bit.ly/hackstersao . It also has a parts list, "Hackster.io SAO v1", my name + the year, and "Hack on!"

Ooooo, gorgeous!

Recently re-found the Cyborg Ring kit while tidying – plus a strip of pink SMD LEDs from that co-hacking campout! Fired up one of the LEDs the other day during #HackOClock (late in the session); good stuff :D

My spontaneous "working on #hardware and thought I'd share" livestreams now have a name: #HackOClock!

Last night: #prototyping an SAO (a #PCB badge add-on) and testing mystery SMD #LEDs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtTE...

Excited to finish this – sharpening some skills, & my first commissioned PCB?
