Cyberpunk Culture Conference 2020, July 9 & 10 #cyberpunk
This year, in light of COVID-19, the Cyberpunk Culture Conference is being held online, July 9th and 10th. You can see/hear all of the presentations for the two-day event here.
If you register, you will be able to participate in the Q&A sessions (via Discord) and watch streaming roundtables. The editors and contributors of the excellent Routledge Companion to Cyberpunk Culture will be discussing “Living in Cyberpunk Times” live via a Zoom webinar on Friday July 10th at 1 pm (EST)/19h (CET). Questions for the panel can be sent via Discord.
I really enjoyed some of the sessions, like the one on the subversiveness of Max Headroom, the one on how a university professor is using the LifePath system from the Cyberpunk 2020 roleplaying game to get students more deeply immersed in c-punk, and the session looking at Bruce Sterling’s 1980s cyberpunk zine, Cheap Truth, and how he and other cyberpunk authors used playfulness, weirdness, and the ephemeral to (accurately) speculate the future.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
