Botacon 0 – as seen through Twitter
Botacon 0 was beyond awesome. I got to meet people whose things I print on Thingiverse1, whose blogs I read every single day, and who I correspond and chat with over e-mail, Twitter, and IM. I also met with other dads who want their children to grow up not just experiencing life, but understanding they have the ability to actually effect change on the world. Putting names2 to faces and meeting these people while we shared experiences about the robots we love was the absolute highlight of my trip. Thank you to MakerBot Industries for putting on an amazing Botacon 0 and thank you to everyone else I met for taking the time to stop and chat with me.
To help memorialize the event, I’ve compiled the 19 pages of #botacon hashtag search results into one long post. 3 (Remember, it’s in reverse chron) 4 Share and enjoy!

I can read your website on Internet Explorer 8 running on Windows 7, although Adobe Flash puts up a bunch of messages asking for permission to write to the drive. But FireFox 3.6.13 on Windows 7 crashes after Adobe Flash crashes, complaining of a script taking too long. Given your audience, you might want to get this looked to.

@Charles: Yikes! I’ll see what I can do about that!

Hmm. On FF 3.5.7 on my Ubuntu 9.10 box, I get no less than 2 message boxes pointing out that “a flash script is taking a long time to run, do you wish to quit?”, but if I answer “continue” to them eventually the site will load. I suspedt that it’s this very blog entry, which is large and apparently all in flash.
Oh well, it works with linux, so officially I guess I don’t really care. Maybe you want to make a separate web page out of this blog post and just publish the link.
