I recently got back from Arse Elekronika 2012, where I was thrilled to receive a Golden Kleene award for my work here! Thanks so much to everyone at Monochrom and all of the conference organizers — it was a fantastic conference, and I’m really honored to have received the Golden Kleene and to have been invited to speak.

Unfortunately I don’t have a recording of the whole talk, but fellow speaker Khannea Suntzu was able to capture a couple of excerpts. Thank you, Khannea!

Part 1: I introduce myself and talk a little bit about my background (especially my “bad first time”).

Part 2: I give a demo of The Hammer and talk about how I made it. (The story of my first time using a Feeldoe, which The Hammer is based on, is here.)

Here are my slides from the talk:

I’d like to post transcripts of both of these videos (any help with that would be much appreciated!). I’m not sure when I will be able to post a more extensive DIY tutorial, but please don’t hesitate to post questions here in the meantime.
