JFC 🙃 Every year at the end of @DEF CON , People I'm with always want to insist on going to see this overwrought insane crazy dumb bullshit. MeowWolf's installations are absolutely amazing. Once. Maybe twice. Beyond that, I cannot actually comprehend or remotely fathom the number of drugs I would have to eat to want to be here voluntarily *for free*... let alone paying to get in. Hi... I'm old now. Deal with it.

This week's video is a reveal of a tool that I've been working on for quite a while and I'm really happy with how they turned out. There were several revisions and tweaks and adjustments... all part of the process of making it good enough to share with you all! Want to play with them? We'll have them at our table at @DEF CON !

This is, very likely, the absolute best thing you can read on this Fourth of July today...
