Looking forward to hanging out at the Hardware Hack Lab here in the NYC office tonight.

Going to build a foot pedal that'll let me toggle voice chat in games without taking my fingers away from more important keys.

OMG... I can use my Macbook's touch ID as an #Okta second factor... I'm living in the future! ThoughtWorkers - check your Okta settings page if you want to do the same :)
