Two weeks ago I gave a talk about SHE BON at one of Supply Frame's HDDG Meetups in San Francisco!

This was super exciting for me, as it was the first time I spoke publicly about the project. I really had no idea how it would go over with humans outside my immediate social bubble- and I was pleased with the amount of feedback I received from everyone at the bar afterwards.

Sitting on the couch in the dark and moody pub, I had my wares on display all over their drink table. It was interesting to witness the reactions of the hardware developers of SF. Observation is sometimes the best form of critique. Not everyone keys in on the why, but everyone most certainly is engaged by the content and the challenge I've placed before myself.

This was also the night I met a fellow sensuality hacker, @qDot, in person. I'm new to this other world of sex-tech and hardware creation/hacking, so it was helpful and assuring to meet a veteran who had wisdom to pass onto me about the path I've started walking.

It's still summer and there is plenty to do before SuperCon, so I best get back to that! 

(Also, this was probably the first talk I've given where I wasn't scared out of my undies.) cheers to personal growth.

Huge thanks to @Sophi Kravitz for making this happen, and for seeing the value in what I do <3
