+# My Space Cadet Deck - an Android Stream Deck replacement with deep Emacs integration

+
+After spending more time configuring my original Stream Deck than
+actually using it, I realized I’d rather build my own from scratch—just
+to spend even more time configuring it.
+
+Change the last paragraph to something like how I was fed up with
+tinkering with software for my original Stream Deck
+
+This talk is a love letter to over-engineering. I’ll walk you through
+how I turned an old Android tablet into a programmable macro pad,
+complete with custom Emacs keybindings, because why use a keyboard when
+you can tap a screen like a caffeinated octopus?
+
+Expect:
+- *Software hacks* (SDD (Swearword Driven development), and questionable
+life choices).
+- *Emacs sorcery* (yes, it /does/ control my music, launch terminals,
+and occasionally insult me).
+- *Self-deprecating humor* (because if I can’t laugh at my own failures,
+who can?).
+
+Warning: May cause sudden urges to automate everything. Side effects
+include increased caffeine consumption, mild obsession with keyboards,
+and the occasional existential crisis when you realize you’ve spent
+three hours tweaking a button that saves you 10 seconds.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+I'm a passionate Emacs user and developer, tinkering with hardware to
+integrate it with Emacs. My talk introduces the SpaceCadet Deck, my
+Android-based Stream Deck alternative, and its deep integration with
+Emacs. I'll share my intention of building this customizable input
+device, highlighting its potential to enhance workflows. Expect live
+demos and practical tips.
