been a big fan of that site for years!

maybe this is because the speakers were all kids, and kids still believe it's possible to vote your way out of the problem? but I suspect it has more to do with the fact that it's scary and dangerous to stand up in a crowd and associate your own face with that disruptive anti-capitalist message; you make yourself a target. so that message tends to be spread by the written word instead.

@klaatu listing individual features misses the point; the idea is that if the software you use every day can't do "view source" on any command you run, it's defective. if you can't edit the source and see the effects of your change immediately: also really missing the point of software.

#emacs only happens to be the most widespread instance of this philosophy being applied, and the one with the richest history and active community.

chassis is more or less complete, but I want to add a face plate to the screen

still a lot of wiring to do including the battery, waiting for a thin HDMI cable to get shipped

I want to add a panel on the left with LEDs and toggle switches, going to have a lot of fun with that

if you ever fly out of Seatac airport, check to see if the furthest left lane of checkpoint three is open; that one has a metal detector and no microwave naked scanner, so you don't need to opt out.

phone manufacturers refuse to include infrared ports on their devices because they're too cowardly to admit that there can be a low-tech solution for a task like turning on a television that is superior in every way to using an app for it.

product idea: Xbox 2π

(it's just the Xbox 360, but localized for places where they use radians)

action shot!

then I got the display installed but the bracket isn't that strong, might need to cut a thicker one.

also there's not really a battery but I think I got that part figured out
