Tinker, hacker, maker, engineer. Where do you fit?
I’ve made a consious decision not to adjust my content to include topics related to current events, pervasive as that may be for everyone. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say about the current situation. But my instinct (bad instinct, as it may be) is when everyone else zigs, I zag. So my rules has become (excepting this little bit right here) no plague talk, which I extended to my appearances at VRRF last weekend. It might have been the only times during VRRF that weren’t dominated talking about COVID-19.
Last weekend was meant to be at MRRF. But there is no MRRF for… uh.. reasons. Fortunatly there was not just one, but two online MRRF replacement live streams both called VRRF. Which wasn’t confusing at all. One ran all day, the other, most of the night. At least, it was day and night if you were in North America.
If you want to just skip to the good parts of VRRF (aka the ‘moi’ parts), here’s a couple of links:
I set up a table to kinda of simulate what I wanted to show people at MRRF. Of course had I been at MRRF, it would have been a little more interactive with people being able to build with the printabloks. And I would have had time to get the Chibimals stage dancing. Maybe. Hopefully. Probably not, but I’m still blaming the plague for not being able to do it. See, the library didn’t send us all home, even though we closed the doors and stopped letting the public in. So we started doing inventory, which meant I had to change my hours to work with everyone else and I couldn’t play at the makerspace all day. And all because of stupid COVID-19!
I… uh… oh I said I wasn’t going to plague talk, didn’t I? Dang it.
