Spotted an Xbox 360 Kinect still in use in the wild

I've had backups of a hyperstudio "game" i made in 1997 for forever but havent been able to open them. The other night I had claude fix the files so I could open them in a macOS9 emulator and I was not prepared for the level of peak 13yr old nerd I was about to witness.

Taking requests for weird AV equipment to make out of polymer clay. This is my first attempt at a little midi synth

Not sure who needs to see this, but if you ever need a MacOS quicklook extension for non-standard video codecs - I just discovered this and this repo does the job well: github.com/Oil3/QLCodec

GitHub - Oil3/QLCodec: Quick Look Previewer extension to 'quicklook-play' every video and audio formats not natively supported by macOS.

It would be pretty cute if I got to 300 pre orders this week, just saying

networksofny2026.bigcartel.com/product/netw... hi, did you like my book Networks of New York when it came out in 2016? you might like the updated 2026 edition which I'll be releasing in September and you can pre-order now

I have to do a lot of napkin math for interactive installations and just realized i could make a multitool for common things. Welcoming comments! laserpilot.github.io/interactive-... -Monitor placement, LED simulation, projector, sensor, speaker positioning

If anyone in NY-10 hasnt voted in the primary today - please vote for @bradlander.bsky.social and oust that phony Dan Goldman

IMDB but for creative tech project credits "oh shit, you were tech director bystander #3 on that project? that role was life changing"

I made a fake experiential agency site, processing over a decade of working in real ones. Case studies are fictional, but feel too real at the same time. palatable.work

Photochromic dye and UV laser projector experiments continue - now on a much larger canvas

Plotting some of my generative trees from a tool I’ve been working on. Lots to do but I like what I’m getting so far!

6-ish weeks off and on of progress working with Claude Code to make a tool to make pen plottable trees/svgs. Tried like 3 or 4 different approaches and ive finally landed on manual branch placement and auto twig/leaf placement

Working on making a happy little tree generator for pen plotting a forest, but not with pure L-systems, just a little SVG tree builder tool with manual adjustments and then going to make it more procedural later

Now on to some generative pipes…

Braaaaids! 🧟‍♂️ BRAAAIDS! 🧟‍♂️

That feeling when someone sends you an Alibaba Express link they found because they think the trusted hardware you recommended is too expensive

The fun kind of pen testing

Still dipping into some time to mess with generative braids - tried a new technique of having the strands "break" to simulate a highlight and i love how it is looking even more natural in spots. fixing those tight foldover curves is my white whale though...

Hell yeah @bradlander.bsky.social - excited to see he’s running for congress in my district youtu.be/qmoyCPtPSTw?... (Obligatory fuck my current rep, @repdangoldman.bsky.social )

Pen plotter results of some of the generative braid work I was doing a week ago. Still have some work to do to make it feel more organic but I’m encouraged by the results so far #plotter #penplotter

Trying to vibe code a generative braid that i can eventually pen plot has been quite a journey in trying to break down the problem well enough for AI to get what I'm trying to do. I've still got a little ways to go to fix edge cases, but im very pleased with what i've got so far.

ive been trying to figure out 2D braids/barber poles for pen plotting/faking occlusion and this took so long to get to but im so satisfied (havent worked out whats going on with the phase glitch in the middle, but whatevs)

I’ve been trying to find a good way of making thicker pen plotter lines for years and finally cracked a way with some new code. This is originally a drawing I made, converted to vector and then an attractor laid on top to thicken lines within an influence field #plotterart #bantamtools

Sharing a little pen plotter calibration tool made with Claude laserpilot.github.io/Pen-Plotter-... Code on GitHub. Meant to let me figure out just how close and fine I can get certain pen tips for fine drawings. (Cc @golan.bsky.social if this is useful for any students)

Another great move from the Adams team, our embarassing mayor who can't be out of office soon enough. Sidenote - is $100 considered a decent bribe? was it jsut like a balled up pile of 20's, 5's and 1's? what were they trying to cover up with so little money? an ill timed fart?

Great ad timing on this DC tourism ad in your app @nytimes.com food! History! Raids!

Shout out to that time in 2016 where i chopped up images of a Where's Waldo book and had @genekogan.bsky.social 's amazing ofxTSNE sort them by similarity to make a hellish Where's Waldo

Wow - someone in my neighborhood doing a real deep clean this morning
