It turns out Weezer’s Sweater Song was about computation.

FIG. 4. (a) Diagram of knitted half-adder realized in our experiment. It adds two input bits, A and B, to produce sum bit, S
and carry bit, C. The logic gates of NOT, AND, and OR are highlighted in green, blue, and red, respectively. (b) The circuit
diagram of the half-adder illustrated in (a). (c) Experimental realization of the half-adder. The tags of the input and output
bits are attatched to the yarn loop for a visibility. The tags correspond to the input and output logic values are released from
the computer. (d) The half-adders after the computations for all four inputs, A= 0 and B = 0, A= 0 and B = 1, A= 1 and
B= 0, and A= 1 and B= 1. All outputs are confirmed to be correct.

I wrote a post about the clock language I played with at Recurse Center. www.fractalkitty.com/there-is-3-s... This is just a prototype that the main purpose was for me to explore how I would define Types and how they interact. #indieweb #recurseCenter #language #nodecode #clocks #time

There is(Ǝ) – Such that (∋)

Let me tell you about a language. But if you wish to go play instead go here. It's going to get a little abstract below. There is a Canvas to Compose Upon The canvas is a square with the largest ci...

\[ \exists - \backepsilon \] www.te-st.ing - A clock protoype tool while at the recurse center. Visual nodes and connections compose a clock. I am still working on it. Almost have a desktop version working. The export is an html. #recurseCenter #indieWeb

clock with trees, grass, orbits, center circle, curves and hands that are connected for a mandala-like appearance that makes it barely readable. The background is blue with L-system trees and pinks, greens, yellows that are muted throughout.

A wonderful caw page!

‪site updates: - created a pure html audio shortcode that can play local and remote files. - moved the roll to its own section, and added several more adjacent reads. - inspired by @fractalkitty.com et al, might even have added a /caw/ section. 🐦‍⬛ wavelight.ws #indieweb #webdev #crows
