Hey #Badgelife creators, fans, or collectors. Read and boost this!

In January I will be in DC for some meetings. Because I will be there anyway, I reached out to some of the curators at the Smithsonian to ask them to meet. To my surprise, they accepted!

I want to bring them some awareness of the Badgelife community and projects, because I think Badgelife represents an incredible amount of creativity, innovation, and technological advancement, and it's happening right under everyone's noses!

So I'd like to ask: If you had an opportunity to share something about what Badgelife means to you, how it is advancing human ingenuity, or just what it means for creativity in the 21st century: What would you like me to share with the folks at the Smithsonian about Badgelife?

Share your pics. Share links to your projects. Share your stories of playing weird proximity games over NFC or wifi. Why do electronic badges make you happy? How do people use them to tell stories? Tag it #SmithsonianBadgelife so we can find it and collect it to hand over to them.

Please spread far and wide. I'd like to get as much community feedback as possible to share with them.

Thank you in advance.

Two weeks ago at #SuperCon I traded simple add-ons with
@geekmomprojects and received one of the first Bendy SAOs!

Unfortunately one of the first LEDs pins was not connected, so only the first LED glowed. Fortunately this was easy to fix, especially now that I gifted myself a cheap screen microscope on aliexpress.

I'll definitely try to fix the SAO connector to later add it to my SAO wall.

Also "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tubemen"

Apparently I've been to the Supplyframe DesignLab before it was cool. There is picture proof, this was my first time in America and this seems like a prototype of #SuperCon ! I remember distinctively standing next to Samy Kamkar, @geekmomprojects and others with no idea who they were (found out later). Plus someone from autodesk promised Eagle would never go cloud or subscription model 🤡

The absolute madlads at PCBWay went full send and gave me the razor thin claws I wanted on this Wolverine SAO 🥰

I put off ordering this design for half a year as I was almost certain they would refuse to manufacture it and I would have to redesign. Turns out: I didn’t!

(Not sponsored, but credit where it’s due. This design is ridiculous and turned out beautiful)
