We urgently need @emfcamp sponsors - if we do not secure more, we will have to make tough decisions.

Tickets cover base costs, but sponsors pay for lovely things like our free childcare and talk transcription. Every little helps!

Very excited to share this great TEI paper led by @OliverChild being demo'd at #TEI2024 in Cork this evening. An exploration on using acoustics for fabrication by manipulating particles and active materials.

This weekend I build the Dedeterminator - a decision-making tool that harnesses quantum randomness to make choices free from causality

It's basically just a smoke detector Americium 241 source taped to a Geiger counter, and a Pi Pico just measuring the time between pulses.

@jarkman Thanks! No plans yet, just something decorative 😊

Finished a project piece today: OCOTDISPLAY. It's a spiny LCD thing

Great final day in the lab at @BristolIG demonstrating EL fabrication methods to (and learning from!) the very talented @OliverChild and Wenda Zhao.

@berlin_creators I cut the net out on a vinyl cutter, scoring along the edges, cut the copper out separately and applied it to the net, then folded and glued it together.

So the cloves we put with the pumpkin in the beer ended up dominating the brew. Had to do some last-minute rebranding 😬

Been making custom crown caps for some seasonal homebrew that's in the making
