20590	31090	All right. G, you want to start it off? Sure. So, welcome to DEF CON Safe Mode.
31430	36770	So, you know, Badge Life at Blue Team Village this year, a little bit different since we're all
37190	42390	kind of separate, but together we thought we'd make Badge Life reflect the extreme social
42390	46630	distancing that, you know, we're practicing this year. So, the thought was, you know,
46630	49310	you've probably got a pile of masks sitting around. Why don't we do something cool with them?
50810	56390	So, we've been putting together a bunch of different examples of stuff. DeSert's got,
56390	60210	it's been building, you know, kind of Mask Level 1. We have some Mask Level 2 stuff that's pretty
60210	67470	cool that we'll be streaming the builds on later this weekend. You know, then really we just want
67470	72150	people to have fun. You know, if you're into, like, wearable electronics, doing stuff with,
72150	78650	like, NeoPixels and, like, voice modulators, you know, really kind of the sky's the limit.
79270	82490	That was, see what cool stuff people can come up with.
84210	89430	Yeah, I guess, go ahead. Oh, I was just gonna say, I'll be, I'll be showing people on stream
89430	98350	tomorrow how to take this mask and put LED sequins, like these little guys,
99070	107370	and make the entire thing light up. And then Saturday, I will be doing more with the NeoPixels,
107370	112870	like these. And I will actually be affixing it to the inside of this mask, along with a
112870	120310	microphone, and making it voice activated. Nice. I may, I may jump in on some, some build
120310	125850	streaming as well. I was, I wasn't able to build mine due to a, we got hit by the hurricane a bit,
125850	129830	so I've been cleaning out my house. So not, not a lot of time to solder stuff, but I,
129830	138370	I got some time carved out over the weekend. So, so really, you know, going into the weekend,
138370	143150	just things to keep in mind. Anything you do must conform to DEF CON and Blue Team Village
143150	149330	acceptable, you know, conduct policy. Nothing, nothing crazy in there. Stay safe. Don't,
149330	153650	don't do anything that's going to asphyxiate you, electrocute you, or otherwise harm yourself.
153770	157890	Just be careful, especially if you're, you're selling around, you know, lithium batteries. I
157890	163310	think, I think when we were prototyping stuff, we might've had a mishap. Don't, don't burn your
163310	167870	face. Yeah. Yeah. You want to, you want to be careful when you're messing around with the
167870	174170	lithium batteries. I got myself pretty good when I was prototyping. Yep. We, we've been tweeting
174170	179170	out, there, there's a kind of an FAQ that has kind of full contest details. We won't read them
179170	184530	verbatim. We'll send that out again right after this, just so that's more easily accessible.
185630	189230	Really, you know, sky's the limit, you know, you don't have to make your mess from scratch.
189550	193030	You can, you can customize a pre-made one. It's really whatever you want to do with it.
193030	197790	You can incorporate whatever artwork or, you know, iconography that you want to.
199490	202430	And they don't necessarily have to have the electronics either. You know,
202430	207950	they could just do really cool artwork to showcase whatever your creation is.
208630	212990	Yeah. Or, you know, if you want to, you know, if you want to design up in 3d print a,
212990	216650	like kind of a whole, you know, like a whole kind of like crazy helmet or something,
216650	222430	you can do that too. It's, it's non-prescriptive really. At the end of all of it, the, we have
222430	228130	some contest categories that will, again, they're in the, they're in the FAQ. There's a whole bunch
228130	234290	of different ones. And, you know, whenever we go through judging, we'll announce winners on Sunday.
235030	242970	Really the idea is, you know, have fun with it and we'll have some swag for folks who,
242970	246650	you know, so if you're, if you're submitting, there's a, there's a Twitter hashtag that you
246650	252070	can tag us with. It's in the FAQ. That's just hashtag BTVMaskCon.
253730	257450	And I guess just be prepared to, you know, if you want swag, we'll need a mailing address to
257450	260830	send it to. Don't care if it's yours. Don't care if it's your neighbor's. Don't care if it's a
260830	264550	dead drop somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Just give us, you know, a postal address where
264550	274230	you can pick it up. That's all. That's, that's really it. Like I said, Adisa, do you have any,
274230	279170	anything else you wanted to include people in on? Let me check something here. Well,
279170	282710	we could talk probably about some of the, the categories as well, you know, just to give like
282830	288210	a brief overview of what we have. I've actually got the FAQ up, so I can just go ahead and read
288210	295930	those off. We're going to have, right now we have nine categories, possibly might add more.
296070	302090	But right now we have the BTV Organizers Arbitrary Choice. So it's, as a group, we will decide which
302090	306370	one we like the most. That will be a contest winner. We're going to have Community Choice
306370	311270	Individual and Community Choice Family. So what we mean by that is, you know, with us all being
311270	316870	at home, we thought, well, G actually had this idea. He thought it'd be cool if people got their
316870	321010	kids involved. So, you know, get your families involved, build stuff with the kids. You know,
321010	327110	this is pretty easy. It doesn't require a ton of skill. You'll see tomorrow. I am a awful seamstress.
327110	333450	I'm terrible. I'm very bad. And I can make a functional mask. So, you know, it's, it's not
333450	338850	terribly difficult. Get your kids together, show them how to make something fun, and tag us in it.
338850	344170	Let us see it. So the Community Choice will be ones that y'all pick. And then we also have a
344170	349050	Most Cohesive Family Effort. So something that, you know, the whole family gets together, even if
349050	355550	the kids are gluing like macaroni to the mask and painting it all up all cool. We'd like to see it.
356050	359890	So it's the mask equivalent of, you know, wearing your matching t-shirts.
359890	361110	Yes, exactly.
362250	367070	And then we also have the Most Elaborate Incorporation of Electronics. So, you know,
367070	372490	somebody builds like a, somebody comes in like a full helmet, a la Daft Punk,
372490	378050	probably stand a pretty good chance if you built that. We'll have the Most Elaborate Non-Electronic
378050	384010	Wearable Mask, which will also be BTV chosen, which will be very cool. And the Most Elaborate
384010	390010	Incorporation of Theme Work and Artwork. I'm excited for that one, because I love seeing
390010	395770	people's cool art, because I have zero artistic skill myself. Then we also have, subjectively,
395770	399670	the Best Couples Effort and the Best Kids Effort. So, you know, get your kids in there,
399670	403010	let them build their own thing, and they might win some cool swag.
404510	408010	And I think that's all the contest categories we have so far.
409130	415910	Yep. We also have some example masks that you can, if you want to kind of build yourself,
415910	420030	we have some example ones out there that aren't affiliated with any of the makers that have put
420030	425390	those out there, but they're patterns that we know to actually work. So they're a starting point.
425390	430650	We also linked some basic electronics tutorials, if you want to take a spin through those
430650	434750	before he starts streaming the build process tomorrow.
440090	446790	And like I said before, this does require zero skill. I'm terrible at sewing, and I managed to
446790	453230	take this mask and some thread and make a functional light-up mask. So if I can do it,
453230	457450	you can definitely do it. I'm god-awful at this, and I've never even thought of trying to do
457450	462430	something like this before, but we had to adapt to the environment that we were given.
463270	473430	Yep. That's the theme for 2020, really. Cool. I think that's all we got.
474170	479570	Yeah, if you have any questions, I think we have a MaskCon channel in the Discord that you can drop
479570	485110	questions in. We'll try to lurk in there. Feel free to tag either one of us if you have questions
485110	491190	that are kind of more burning. We're trying to pay attention to a bunch of other stuff as well.
491190	494830	Feel free to tag us. We'll drop in and happy to answer any questions or help.
495290	499670	Yeah, I'll be in there all night. I don't have much going on, so I'll be on the Discord most
499670	503690	of the evening. So if you have any questions, just go ahead and tag me. I'll be happy to answer
503690	515110	anything I can. Great. Great. Take care.
