oh yeah, I turned the sabers into a staff model. Saves on a controller and I'm really happy how the light diffusion turned out with the increased segment diameter. Next upgrade is a bigger 3d printer to make things in less pieces and polycarbonate versus current tough+/PETG builds. Flush button!

This build is live over on the github repo if you want to build your own! github.com/joshuawboone... Want one built? Coming soon <3 -Z

First build is complete! Birthday gift! Both heavier PETG and lighter Tough+ blades <3

First build is complete! Birthday gift! Both heavier PETG and lighter Tough+ blades <3

V2 build 1 - birthday gift Refined the whole build to print on an a1 mini. Durability drop tested, swing tested, twirl tested. Lighter, hollow tough+ blades or heavier (for durability) transparent PETG (in production) Same custom Arduino based SAMD21 PCB

V2 is done! (Internally I'm calling it v2.1 'cause revisions and fixes on the base v2 redesign overall)

Not exactly disappeared. Still working on things. Still working on my self. Engineering v2 of the saber con prop from #furlandia Coupler tube is going to get a different version already. A little too thicc, this one is.

Oh, hi! If anyone spots any posted photos of this fox @furlandia.bsky.social 2026, share/tag me! Yes, there were cookies. No, there was no milk. #furlandia

I tend to view everything as programming. In that sense, we're not so different from the machines. Yet agency and free will live in the space where we fight our programming.

the end of the world came. It came, not with guns, nor explosions, but the unrestricted and unchecked spread of a synthetic organism. You'd be forgiven thinking that I mean the advent of AI, yet there is an even older artificial entity that humans created long before computer systems. Society.exe

I should work on something... -sits scrolling for 2 hours- Oh, shit, well, too late now. -scrolls another hour- Sleep, go to day job, repeat.

I already eat them out of the can, cold, unheated and can eat a whole family sized can without getting sick. So this would be no problem.

Pentagon warned Anthropic it could lose contracts or be labeled a “supply chain risk” if it doesn’t accept broader military AI terms. CEO says the terms didn’t adequately restrict potential use in autonomous weapons or mass surveillance. This is a real-world stress test for ethical AI governance.

The reason why they cost so much is all the art and the 3d model they have.

ko-fi.com/s/d3c9874331 Decided I might sell them, so i put them up on the shop to see if anyone is interested.

ko-fi.com/barkitup/shop Added a lot of old characters i have to my shop that i decided to sell. If you want to haggle feel free.

Emergence Stretch the wings. Though never used before. It comes naturally. Stretch the brain. Places never used before. It's harder than it looks. <3

Decided to try drawing Orcane and before I knew it I'd drawn a few of the #RivalsofAether cast, whoops.

I'm walking the razor's edge. Between living and observing. Architecting and engineering. Want and need. Walking forward. Moving forward as a better version of myself each day. Looking back. Moving forward whilst walking backwards to see what lies behind. Always watching. Always moving.

wtf this generic pop song came on in Walmart with a guy singing about making tonight the weekend or whatever, and it sounded really familiar… It was the fucking beat from numa numa???

New note on wanting vs needing: How do you know what you really want? Do you want the constraint itself, or are you trying to convince yourself you want it? substack.com/@zettafox/no...

3 weeks into 2026! Who is keeping their resolutions? I'm down 10 pounds! :3 Start of the year has been hectic. I'll post LED stuff soon when I have time to prep them. <3 -Z

I doodled some VORE. lol

16 rolls. 300 LEDs per roll. Cut in half for 32 strips of 150. These are all going on the ceiling to be controlled by a single custom controller. Soon!

I am what I choose to be, labeled by the constraints of this world, but not defined by them.
