!!Con West 2020: Tiffany Tseng - Packages, but in 3D!
Alright. Today I get to talk to you about one of my favorite things in the whole world. Packaging design! It combines a few things I really love, including design, digital fabrication, code, and snacks. So some of the coolest examples of packaging design that I’ve seen are in the food industry, where decorative boxes are used to package things like cakes. So if you go to the arts section of a bookstore, you can often find packaging diagram books, and they read like art books.

!!Con West 2020 - Breanne Boland: You can put WHAT in DNS TXT records?!?!
Happy leap day. We are living on bonus time. So I wanted to talk about a little bonus space within DNS. And let’s start by talking about what DNS is. It is the domain name system. People like to use the phone book metaphor to explain DNS. It makes sense because it’s immediately understandable by a lot of people, though I suspect less and less as time goes on.

!!Con West 2020 - Lito Nicolai: ba-ding!
Well, hello! You all hear me all right? Okay. This is ba-ding! I am Lito. I go by litonico_ on Twitter, I work for Destroy All Software. I help run a conference called Deconstruct. If you like !!Con, you might like that one. So hope to see you all in Seattle. This is a story on what happens when you turn on a Game Boy.
00:49 - So this involves a clever and litigious company, trademark law, a microscope, nitric acid, and a very dedicated materials science student.

!!Con West 2020 - Wesley Aptekar-Cassels: Plotty Bird: Making Modern Games on Retro Pen Plotters!
Hey, everybody. So my name is Wesley. I use they/them pronouns, and today I’m going to be talking a little bit about pen plotters and some fun things that I found with pen plotters. You may be asking yourself: What is a pen plotter. And in the ‘80s, before printers really worked well at all – as if they work well today – if you wanted to print an image, what you would do is you would use a little robot that took a pen and it could move the pen in two directions and lift it up and put it down and it could select some other pens.

!!Con West 2020: Maria Mishurenko - Its alive, but not for long!!
Hi. I’m Maria. I’m based in New York. And I’m a game designer and VR developer. When most people think about virtual reality or imagine its future, they usually imagine that. When in fact, my version of the bright future of utopian technocratic Singularity looks more like this. ♫ United Underground Radio ♫ ✝ We put “sur” in survival ✝ ♫ United Underground ♫ ☢ We put the “rad” in radiation ☢ ♫ United Underground Radio ♫ ♨ We make lava lavish ♨ ♫ United Underground Radio ♫ ☣ We make you fall in love with fallout ☣ ♫ United Underground Radio ♫ ☠ We can mute mutants for you ☠ ♫ United Underground Radio ♫ ♾ Sing Singularity ♾ ✂ With Us ✂ (laughter) So yeah!

!!Con West 2020: Naomi Saphra - Get Hooked On Neural Net Inspection! That was a pun!
Okay. So first, let me talk about myself for just a second. I’m a current PhD student in natural language processing at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, which has its own strike going on right now. Solidarity! (applause) I’m currently in training at Google. Temporarily. In New York. I dictate all my code, because due to a disability, it’s hard for me to type much. My roller derby name is Gaussian Retribution, and my Twitter handle is @nsaphra.

Benchmark HPA4 pre-amp and HP amp
The Benchmark HPA4 is a high quality pre-amp and headphone amp that - although being digitally controlled - only does analog audio. I admit the HPA4 doesn’t fit the self-imposed profile of my channel since it’s an analog pre-amp but rules are there to be broken and I had good excuses. Some very loyal viewers and supporters of the channel requested a review while another supporter asked me if there could be a sound improvement if he added a pre-amp between his Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and his Arcam power amp.
