Can you find all the easter eggs?
As if the #Create4aCause initiative wasn’t already awesome enough, our very own Amie DD has Doubled Down on the giving! For the month of February Amie has generously agreed to donate $10 per spool sold of RepRed, Purple Haze, and Boss Pink PLA to the NVM Women in Technology Scholarship she’s helping to promote along with the National Videogame Museum in Frisco, TX!
I've waited 13 years for the release of Kingdom Hearts 3, so what's another 30 minutes to wait for the game to download to my Xbox? I designed Sora's Necklace in Fusion 360 and I'm 3D Printing it now why I wait for the game to download!
Wow! So excited Stef and I were features on SYFY's page for our Magicians Cosplay from Dragon Con 2018. The characters on The Magicians are very stylish, but they also have, well, magic at their disposal. If they want to glamour-up, they can do that.

Hard to believe it's already the second year for the scholarship program for girls in STEM that I created through the National Videogame Museum
Took me way to long to figure out how to design this twist in Fusion 360 to look like licorice!
Got a nice little email from Tech.io about sharing my code. These thoughts and opinions are my own. I was trying to find a platform that I could use for in-browser c# tutorials to embedded in my blog and tutorials, without the need of the user having to download software.
In C# the increment operator increases a integer's value by 1.
C# Square brackets ([]) are used for arrays, indexers, and attributes. They can also be used with pointers. Example code for potion strength.
Just using the transponder to travel to my dads for Christmas. Totally normal for my family hahaha!

Tesla Hack Diaries: Prequel I've been working on my body implant Tesla hack for about 2 months, and I have had reservations about sharing my work, after discussing with a few friends and strangers about my project at #supercon last weekend I decided I would finally share my project progress. Thanks to Amal, Andy, Drew and Will for encouraging me that "all work sucks in the beginning" and I should just share my ramblings.

Less than 48 hours until I leave for my favorite cosplay/fan/nerd convention of the year: Dragon Con!!
I normally would use a safety pin for a quick converter for the back of my bra with my cosplay costumes....until the day my safety pin came undone and stabbed me in the back(literally). So time for a new solution.
I get a lot of questions about how I add simple LEDs into my props and gadgets. Majority of people haven't used a soldering iron, and aren't sure about the investment to purchase one. No worries! You can use some copper tape and Bare Conductive's Electric Paint to light up a few 5mm LEDs, and no soldering required!
MOD. is Australia's leading future-focused museum, provoking new ideas at the intersection of science, art and innovation.
I didn't have much free time in between my workshops at MOD (Museum of Discovery), Hybrid World and AVCon. Thankfully the MOD. team was awesome enough to take me Gorge Wildlife Park to hold a koala and feed the kangaroos.
2 Canceled Flights, 3 Days at the airport, 18 hours on a plane was all worth it to inspire this little girl.
My little brother works for Facebook and in Building 14 they have an amazing LEGO wall! I knew I needed one in my house! LEGO has always been my therapeutic way to calm or wind down for the night. It's my way of relaxing. I decided to use the Bare Conductive Touch Board and Electric Paint to make my LEGO wall interactive and come to life! You don't need to know any programming for this project.
I used the support material from my Form2 3D Printer to make a corset!

Rare as a Unicorn: Female tech trailblazers are headed to Adelaide’s technology festival in droves. Yet some of them say the cutting edge of science is still a sexist minefield where limiting assumptions are made about women.
I used Form Labs new color kit to 3D Print a Coffin Charger Case for my power bank. I also designed an acrylic top and cut it out on my Glowforge Pro laser cutter.
