My little hobby of a company has picked up a lot of traction.
Iām about to be making an announcement of finalizing a deal with an official distributor for North America.
Tuesday I got an unprompted message from someone on the flipper team telling me that I am officially on an approved vendor list for flipper accessories much like how rabbit labs and awok is. So I donāt have to be concerned about trade mark strikes.
This morning a very large content creator reached out for contact to do an unboxing.
Another content creator has been contacted to do a sponsored video and asked me to create the board for their video.
This is super exciting for me. Something I never really expected. I was kind of down because the list of new product idea I have is growing, but Iāve been scared to start prototyping again because of the tariffs. I have about 6 projects now complete and ready for fabrication but Iāve been sitting on them because of the tariffs. So knowing that this is all in the works really helps.
In addition to that I feel like Iāve become almost more than a hobby side project. My time is now divided between my full time job and this.
Lots of anxiety is coming with this but itās all good anxiety.
You spent who knows how many hundreds (thousands?) of hours and poured it into making exceptionally high quality products that would be unreasonable to make as one-offs, then distributed them through a community that frankly needed them.
Your products get used pretty much every day by likely the majority of daily-readers/posters here, and who knows how many others.
Frankly itās long overdue. The amount of value that youāve provided to the community is unreal.
Iāve been on this forum for less than a month and I very quickly saw and understood the impact youāve had on the community here so you should absolutely be proud of yourself. Awesome news
Well itās Friday folks! Just finished work and wonder what people are up to this weekend? Anything fun?
Iāll have to start working on my FlexSecure and setting that up properly for the next few days, although Iāve misplaced my java card for testing so maybe Iāll start with finding that first
Not this weekend, but monday Iāll have a pretty good idea if my work is switching to DESFire credentials, so I get to look forward to maybe* another implant.
Look, if you figure out a way for me to be able to transfer my mind into one of those things, youāll have enough money for all of the toys that we make.
If you donāt know U.S. geography, you might wanna grab a map.
Anywho, left SW Arkansas yesterday heading for SE Missouri. Was crossing this beautiful old WPA steel truss bridge when three things ocurred to me. This is a big ass river. Oh, itās the misissippi, makes sense. WTF does that sign say Illinois State Line?
Yeah. I got to camp a little late, but I also saw some beautiful bridges and gorgeous river views.
Also, I should note that if I was capable of explaining how this happened, it wouldnāt of.
