About

Welcome to my workshop, where wicked widgets, wild wearables, and wholesome wonder are wasted on weak witticisms and worthless wordplay. We once worked for whoever wanted wires to work, but the wacky world of wcontent has wiped our wherewithal. The thing on my face is a wearable computer I use as a teleprompter! Send gizmos, gadgets, and samples to the Voidstar Mailbag! Voidstar Lab c/o Zack Freedman 3051 W 105th Ave #350943 Westminster, CO 80031

Hacking it... IN HALF!!! 3D scan with Polycam for free! Visit https://apple.co/3er4ekG ⏪ Part 1: https://youtu.be/Sy7yPwj2fsg ⏩ Part 2: 🤷‍♂️ My wearable heads-up display, the Optigon, is coming apart at the seams, but I found the perfect upgrade, the Epson Moverio BT-40. Problem: It shuts off when I disconnect a display, but this 'borg is all-monocular, baybee. Solution: TEN MONTHS of real-deal hardware hacking, complete with signal sniffing, replay attacks, and oodles of solder paste. Oodles! But my new wearable computer, the Voidstar Lab Optigon 2, is done! I'm sorry if I ruined the surprise, but it's more important to stuff this description full of keywords like Internet of Things, How to hack hardware, The best wearable computer, Google Glass, how to make your own wearable computer, and What is Zack Freedman wearing.
