Five years ago today she left this world.

So, @occult inspired me to make my own fork of @prahou 's subversive.pics. Need to eventually self-host all the content that's currently on mata platforms. Also @neauoire encouraged me to start syndicating, so.. for now it's at least a photo feed! https://gregori.studio/photos

I made it much of the way through "Starting Forth", in order to learn some basics about stack-based languages. After I did that, I stopped. June says I should try "Thinking Forth", so that's on my to-read pile. Anyway I never really told anyone I did this so […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

I went to see "The Testament of Ann Lee", yesterday, and omg the amazing interstitial chapter title screens. They are all white on black compositions, with calligraphic ink work mixed with gorgeous period-correct typography. The ones I'm posting here are not […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

I made a personal website! Although my official background is in visual stuff, a lot of what's on the site is writing. Semi-long-form writing, like, short essays. The first piece of writing that I'm highlighting is the one most relevant to the people with […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

@patricio Patricio, your Memory Studies are probably my favorite digital artworks that have ever been made. I find them so powerful. I won't gush here further (I would like to write about them elsewhere) but I just want to say that IMO it's so great that you are preserving the work and thinking […]

A few days ago, @june gave me the best holiday card... that has ever been made. The card is coded in C++ with very custom routines for pattern generation. She thoughtfully got it signed by several members of Nouveau and Merveilles. @autumn, @mary, @sierra […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

My #DecemberAdventure is mostly a December Detour onto other projects that can't wait, like this website for a new album that my wife produced. First time doing a few things like setting up a staging subdomain for testing, and stuff. There were lots of content details to iron out. It ships in […]

Messing with Nova, with the help of @june and https://social.nouveau.community/@andnull for #DecemberAdventure https://gregori.studio/decadv#dec06

out with the old, in with the new!

@autumn Your new page on N24 is really a comprehensive overview. Great resource. I noticed it has some of the same info you were kind enough to give me when I was suffering from longer-than-normal jetlag. Very cool to see your 2024 sleep data - such a clear picture. Anyway I saw it because of […]

I'm jumping in! Joining the phenomenon known as #DecemberAdventure. Working on a personal website (just put it online, but it'll evolve this month) and also plan to noodle with some other code like Nova along the way. Nbd... but feels like a bd. To be counting myself in, I mean. And to put work […]

If you're going to be in Portland, Oregon before February 8th, there is a great - and very interactive - exhibit on Ursula Le Guin, at the Oregon Center for Contemporary Art. Can't recommend this enough. #dao #tao #scifi #sciencefiction

The heart wants what the heart wants. Who are we to judge?

Feeling proud of my former teammates who announced three (!) devices today. #Steammachine lives! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmKrKTwtukE #gaming #theLudarium

"Cocaine and Conway's Law" by @gvwilson https://youtu.be/f86KBeJ7e2M Slides (with clickable links): https://third-bit.com/talks/sdgc/ What we should teach, but don't, to young software engineers about the social impact of software.

I received a very beautiful (and bubbly) piece of pottery from @mario_afk thanks to the Merveilles art exchange! It looks perfect for serving mysterious potions or elixirs. It arrived quite intact in a box shipped from Mexico. Having sent out a very flat […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

This setup is… sublime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHPIxrcjKW4

And here's a video of the flare!

I've been operating my PC all summer without a drawing tablet. Finally added one to this setup and this post is just me telling you that I can feel the wind in my hair. I don't even use it for drawing, much, it's just such a relief to use it for almost everything.

long breaks between updates on this because the world keeps interfering.

Break a leg. Your slides are good!

Believe me I did not relish removing it. It was crooked and had to be put out. I will return it, improved, tomorrow.

One of my favorite books, mainly because of the beauty of its language, is Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë. So I've meant for a long time to read Wuthering Heights, because it is by her sister, Emily. Much has been made of the Brontë sisters' upbringing, and I knew that no matter what the novel […]

A series.

@neauoire @harpaleon I overheard (eavesdropped on?) the two of you talking at TENT about Shelly's Frankenstein and also Stoker's Dracula, the novels. Today I listened to the short (non-subscriber) version of this podcast episode about Frankenstein and it was good. Thought you might enjoy? I've […]

I posted this drawing yesterday, but then my mastodon account became compromised (?!), and someone was editing my posts and replying as me, so I deleted the posts and enabled some two-factor stuff. One theory is that they were doing this using credentials […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

A 1.5 hr drawing study of my friend before starting a painting... looks nice enough but feels scrappy because the likeness is not quite there. But the important part is that I learned about the likeness by doing this, and the painting will be closer. In theory. #theWorkshop

Hey @rek check it out

I’m in NYC, and I just saw a play. I have seen many in my time, but this one was one of very few instances in my life of an experience which induced what I would label Stendahl syndrome. The coiner of that term described it by saying “ I was in a sort of ecstasy ... Absorbed in the […]

Radio nerditry: every time I visit NYC and remember to turn on a radio, I marvel at the thriving and vibrant Brooklyn pirate radio broadcasting scene. My pal @pirateradiomap maintains an awesome archive of them at pirateradiomap.com .

I have Fujichrome R25 Single-8 8mm film on which one of the color layers has spontaneously formed #sierpinski #triangle #fractal like patterns, all over the whole 15m roll. It is unclear if this has happened through some biological or physical process, and would like some help finding out.

This post is an open love letter to my #bicycle. It's a titanium frame built by Bill Davidson, who has been crafting similar bikes for almost 50 years here in Seattle. It has one front chainring, because I just don't have any use for a front derailleur. The […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

Interesting news - the direct-join model might achieve critical mass, or it might not. They're explicitly saying "well we have to start somewhere", and it's hard to argue with that. https://cwa-union.org/news/releases/video-game-workers-launch-industry-wide-union-communications-workers-america
