[00:20.590 --> 00:31.090]  All right. G, you want to start it off? Sure. So, welcome to DEF CON Safe Mode.
[00:31.430 --> 00:36.770]  So, you know, Badge Life at Blue Team Village this year, a little bit different since we're all
[00:37.190 --> 00:42.390]  kind of separate, but together we thought we'd make Badge Life reflect the extreme social
[00:42.390 --> 00:46.630]  distancing that, you know, we're practicing this year. So, the thought was, you know,
[00:46.630 --> 00:49.310]  you've probably got a pile of masks sitting around. Why don't we do something cool with them?
[00:50.810 --> 00:56.390]  So, we've been putting together a bunch of different examples of stuff. DeSert's got,
[00:56.390 --> 01:00.210]  it's been building, you know, kind of Mask Level 1. We have some Mask Level 2 stuff that's pretty
[01:00.210 --> 01:07.470]  cool that we'll be streaming the builds on later this weekend. You know, then really we just want
[01:07.470 --> 01:12.150]  people to have fun. You know, if you're into, like, wearable electronics, doing stuff with,
[01:12.150 --> 01:18.650]  like, NeoPixels and, like, voice modulators, you know, really kind of the sky's the limit.
[01:19.270 --> 01:22.490]  That was, see what cool stuff people can come up with.
[01:24.210 --> 01:29.430]  Yeah, I guess, go ahead. Oh, I was just gonna say, I'll be, I'll be showing people on stream
[01:29.430 --> 01:38.350]  tomorrow how to take this mask and put LED sequins, like these little guys,
[01:39.070 --> 01:47.370]  and make the entire thing light up. And then Saturday, I will be doing more with the NeoPixels,
[01:47.370 --> 01:52.870]  like these. And I will actually be affixing it to the inside of this mask, along with a
[01:52.870 --> 02:00.310]  microphone, and making it voice activated. Nice. I may, I may jump in on some, some build
[02:00.310 --> 02:05.850]  streaming as well. I was, I wasn't able to build mine due to a, we got hit by the hurricane a bit,
[02:05.850 --> 02:09.830]  so I've been cleaning out my house. So not, not a lot of time to solder stuff, but I,
[02:09.830 --> 02:18.370]  I got some time carved out over the weekend. So, so really, you know, going into the weekend,
[02:18.370 --> 02:23.150]  just things to keep in mind. Anything you do must conform to DEF CON and Blue Team Village
[02:23.150 --> 02:29.330]  acceptable, you know, conduct policy. Nothing, nothing crazy in there. Stay safe. Don't,
[02:29.330 --> 02:33.650]  don't do anything that's going to asphyxiate you, electrocute you, or otherwise harm yourself.
[02:33.770 --> 02:37.890]  Just be careful, especially if you're, you're selling around, you know, lithium batteries. I
[02:37.890 --> 02:43.310]  think, I think when we were prototyping stuff, we might've had a mishap. Don't, don't burn your
[02:43.310 --> 02:47.870]  face. Yeah. Yeah. You want to, you want to be careful when you're messing around with the
[02:47.870 --> 02:54.170]  lithium batteries. I got myself pretty good when I was prototyping. Yep. We, we've been tweeting
[02:54.170 --> 02:59.170]  out, there, there's a kind of an FAQ that has kind of full contest details. We won't read them
[02:59.170 --> 03:04.530]  verbatim. We'll send that out again right after this, just so that's more easily accessible.
[03:05.630 --> 03:09.230]  Really, you know, sky's the limit, you know, you don't have to make your mess from scratch.
[03:09.550 --> 03:13.030]  You can, you can customize a pre-made one. It's really whatever you want to do with it.
[03:13.030 --> 03:17.790]  You can incorporate whatever artwork or, you know, iconography that you want to.
[03:19.490 --> 03:22.430]  And they don't necessarily have to have the electronics either. You know,
[03:22.430 --> 03:27.950]  they could just do really cool artwork to showcase whatever your creation is.
[03:28.630 --> 03:32.990]  Yeah. Or, you know, if you want to, you know, if you want to design up in 3d print a,
[03:32.990 --> 03:36.650]  like kind of a whole, you know, like a whole kind of like crazy helmet or something,
[03:36.650 --> 03:42.430]  you can do that too. It's, it's non-prescriptive really. At the end of all of it, the, we have
[03:42.430 --> 03:48.130]  some contest categories that will, again, they're in the, they're in the FAQ. There's a whole bunch
[03:48.130 --> 03:54.290]  of different ones. And, you know, whenever we go through judging, we'll announce winners on Sunday.
[03:55.030 --> 04:02.970]  Really the idea is, you know, have fun with it and we'll have some swag for folks who,
[04:02.970 --> 04:06.650]  you know, so if you're, if you're submitting, there's a, there's a Twitter hashtag that you
[04:06.650 --> 04:12.070]  can tag us with. It's in the FAQ. That's just hashtag BTVMaskCon.
[04:13.730 --> 04:17.450]  And I guess just be prepared to, you know, if you want swag, we'll need a mailing address to
[04:17.450 --> 04:20.830]  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
[04:20.830 --> 04:24.550]  dead drop somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Just give us, you know, a postal address where
[04:24.550 --> 04:34.230]  you can pick it up. That's all. That's, that's really it. Like I said, Adisa, do you have any,
[04:34.230 --> 04:39.170]  anything else you wanted to include people in on? Let me check something here. Well,
[04:39.170 --> 04:42.710]  we could talk probably about some of the, the categories as well, you know, just to give like
[04:42.830 --> 04:48.210]  a brief overview of what we have. I've actually got the FAQ up, so I can just go ahead and read
[04:48.210 --> 04:55.930]  those off. We're going to have, right now we have nine categories, possibly might add more.
[04:56.070 --> 05:02.090]  But right now we have the BTV Organizers Arbitrary Choice. So it's, as a group, we will decide which
[05:02.090 --> 05:06.370]  one we like the most. That will be a contest winner. We're going to have Community Choice
[05:06.370 --> 05:11.270]  Individual and Community Choice Family. So what we mean by that is, you know, with us all being
[05:11.270 --> 05:16.870]  at home, we thought, well, G actually had this idea. He thought it'd be cool if people got their
[05:16.870 --> 05:21.010]  kids involved. So, you know, get your families involved, build stuff with the kids. You know,
[05:21.010 --> 05:27.110]  this is pretty easy. It doesn't require a ton of skill. You'll see tomorrow. I am a awful seamstress.
[05:27.110 --> 05:33.450]  I'm terrible. I'm very bad. And I can make a functional mask. So, you know, it's, it's not
[05:33.450 --> 05:38.850]  terribly difficult. Get your kids together, show them how to make something fun, and tag us in it.
[05:38.850 --> 05:44.170]  Let us see it. So the Community Choice will be ones that y'all pick. And then we also have a
[05:44.170 --> 05:49.050]  Most Cohesive Family Effort. So something that, you know, the whole family gets together, even if
[05:49.050 --> 05:55.550]  the kids are gluing like macaroni to the mask and painting it all up all cool. We'd like to see it.
[05:56.050 --> 05:59.890]  So it's the mask equivalent of, you know, wearing your matching t-shirts.
[05:59.890 --> 06:01.110]  Yes, exactly.
[06:02.250 --> 06:07.070]  And then we also have the Most Elaborate Incorporation of Electronics. So, you know,
[06:07.070 --> 06:12.490]  somebody builds like a, somebody comes in like a full helmet, a la Daft Punk,
[06:12.490 --> 06:18.050]  probably stand a pretty good chance if you built that. We'll have the Most Elaborate Non-Electronic
[06:18.050 --> 06:24.010]  Wearable Mask, which will also be BTV chosen, which will be very cool. And the Most Elaborate
[06:24.010 --> 06:30.010]  Incorporation of Theme Work and Artwork. I'm excited for that one, because I love seeing
[06:30.010 --> 06:35.770]  people's cool art, because I have zero artistic skill myself. Then we also have, subjectively,
[06:35.770 --> 06:39.670]  the Best Couples Effort and the Best Kids Effort. So, you know, get your kids in there,
[06:39.670 --> 06:43.010]  let them build their own thing, and they might win some cool swag.
[06:44.510 --> 06:48.010]  And I think that's all the contest categories we have so far.
[06:49.130 --> 06:55.910]  Yep. We also have some example masks that you can, if you want to kind of build yourself,
[06:55.910 --> 07:00.030]  we have some example ones out there that aren't affiliated with any of the makers that have put
[07:00.030 --> 07:05.390]  those out there, but they're patterns that we know to actually work. So they're a starting point.
[07:05.390 --> 07:10.650]  We also linked some basic electronics tutorials, if you want to take a spin through those
[07:10.650 --> 07:14.750]  before he starts streaming the build process tomorrow.
[07:20.090 --> 07:26.790]  And like I said before, this does require zero skill. I'm terrible at sewing, and I managed to
[07:26.790 --> 07:33.230]  take this mask and some thread and make a functional light-up mask. So if I can do it,
[07:33.230 --> 07:37.450]  you can definitely do it. I'm god-awful at this, and I've never even thought of trying to do
[07:37.450 --> 07:42.430]  something like this before, but we had to adapt to the environment that we were given.
[07:43.270 --> 07:53.430]  Yep. That's the theme for 2020, really. Cool. I think that's all we got.
[07:54.170 --> 07:59.570]  Yeah, if you have any questions, I think we have a MaskCon channel in the Discord that you can drop
[07:59.570 --> 08:05.110]  questions in. We'll try to lurk in there. Feel free to tag either one of us if you have questions
[08:05.110 --> 08:11.190]  that are kind of more burning. We're trying to pay attention to a bunch of other stuff as well.
[08:11.190 --> 08:14.830]  Feel free to tag us. We'll drop in and happy to answer any questions or help.
[08:15.290 --> 08:19.670]  Yeah, I'll be in there all night. I don't have much going on, so I'll be on the Discord most
[08:19.670 --> 08:23.690]  of the evening. So if you have any questions, just go ahead and tag me. I'll be happy to answer
[08:23.690 --> 08:35.110]  anything I can. Great. Great. Take care.
