Almost almost #TGIF

Gyoza pile for lunch and the final garden harvest of damsons. #TGIF

#TFIF. I’m out of coffee, there’s no milk in the house, but do have copious amounts of burnout … so tomorrow I get on a plane to France. Yay! ❤️ 🇫🇷

In the next few weeks, we're going to learn about hundreds of programs that Dolly quietly funded without any fanfare. What a legacy.

Little moments of comfort food. #comfortfood #tuesdays #chinesefood

it’s monday and I have to talk to people again

Let’s go play outside!! 😂

(Sound on 🔉) I have learnt sound! Naturally … the first thing was finding the notes to get it to play the Tetris theme. Naturally… 🫠 #soundon #penplotter #plotterart #generativeart #creativecoding #micropython #raspberrypipico #100daysofcode #python #diyplotter #buildinpublic

Should it worry that I’m left with left with 4 important looking screws after building an ikea cabinet? The fact that it’s an even number makes me wonder if I’ve left out an entire step… 🤔 💭

Exhausting week, ending on a quad shot of coffee… one more day to go, then I think nesting, Nintendo, and personal projects for the win

Garden harvest. Given the state of the lawn and lack of rain we’ve had had all summer until today.

I’m circling around some ideas… #generativeart #creativecoding #p5js #genart #turtlegraphics #logoturtle #proceduralart #codeart

Logo. 1990. Primary school. I got to move a turtle with FORWARD and RIGHT and it drew as it moved. Code became picture instantly. The turtle wasn’t even on a screen. It was a robot holding a pen. Here's some p5.js ideation on shape #generativeart #creativecoding #p5js #penplotter #100daysofcode

I hope my use of made-up words doesn't make you...discomfortable

The whole pen-plotter-from-scratch thing: So far output is a screen narrating my own progress back at me. Pico2W, MicroPython. Steppers or servos next? (At some point… optimistically, I’ll need a pen) #penplotter #micropython #100DaysOfCode #constructionism #raspberrypipico #physicalcomputing

Tell me you don’t want to schlep all the way into the office today, without telling me you don’t want to schlep all the way in to the office today… #creativecoding #digitalcrafts

About last night…. #summertime #party

In the journey towards pen plotting, via learning python from scratch, we now have a screen. Small steps. #LearningToCode #STEM #PlotterTwitter

In today’s maker/creator installment - a detour to the kitchen … it’s pizza prep time…

The middle child of adults #adulting

Happy #humpday everyone… One of those weeks. The “real work” thing is particularly frustrating because it’s designed specifically to interrupt you at the moment you’ve finally figured out what you want to create. Dilemma!

Fun eclipse fact: Despite being a well-studied astronomical phenomenon, the effect of total eclipses on werewolves is not fully understood by science.

Solar eclipse = excuse for a mid week beer in the garden. Catching some fun shadows tonight. #solareclipse #pinholecamera #cameraobscura #beer

Oh I see, it’s one of those Sunday evenings, is it? 🤡 #3Dprint #fail

Meanwhile in pen-plotter-but-first-python land… the potentiometer lessons have begun. 😍 #RaspberryPi #pico #STEM #python #coding

A quick little Grace figurine of the internet, for this afternoon’s company. #3Dprinting #projecthailmary

Week one of building a pen plotter from scratch. Current capability: makes LEDs go on and off in a pattern. Stated ambition: generative cartography. There is a gap. Yes. I am aware of the gap. 😂 #PlotterTwitter #CreativeCoding #RaspberryPiPico #STEM

Journey of a thousand steps, with a creative goal in mind: to create my own #penplotter from the ground up. I know… I’ve had a few confused looks from people. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Yesterday I started with one LED blinking successfully - this is my own little engineering journey, and I love it. ❤️
