Tea time! - Office hours with Technical Tea

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 14:20:53 GMT

We recorded office hours and, as we do, had a chat full of tangents while we figured out how to set up our livestream. Take a peak behind the scenes! This episode is free for all, however in the future, office hours will be provided to patrons only.

Make-up, but not how you think

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 15:16:31 GMT

Welcome to the very first episode of Technical Tea! Our theme this month is make-up, but not how you think!

What is CV Dazzle and will it empower Niki to roller derby vs. a hundred duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck? Would Huyen prefer Vibranium Breasts over Super Speed and would either be the ideal superpower with which to build a dream Omni-tool Cyberdeck?

This is the pilot episode of Technical Tea before we came up with a name for it! We tested it out during Experiment Week on DTNS and your feedback was good enough that it is now becoming a real show!
