Absolutely gobsmacked to receive not one, but two awards at the Swancon Art Show!
Both were for "The Infinite Library" - a little story kiosk project I thought up one evening, loaded up with all the little bits of fiction I have shared here.
Inside the library-shaped shell is a Raspberry Pi3 and a M02 thermal printer, along with some scripts that I wrote to randomly print a story on the press of a button concealed as a part of the roof.
I received the "Judges Selection" and "Technical Innovation" prizes.
A huge thank-you to the Swancon49 Committee and Guests who made up the judging panel.
I will be bringing the Library to any (and all) cons I attend in the future, so that everyone can have a little story to read any time they need one.
