split keyboards with a coiled TRRS cable in the middle are that way so you can stand with one foot perfectly centered in the middle for style points.

a great solution when your camera keeps clipping into the environment is to just move the environment out of the way

25 years ago a colleague from the Niels Bohr Institute showed me Agpalilik, a 20 ton fragment of the 50+ ton Cape York iron meteorite. Heated and cooled throughout its cosmic life, most of this mass is a single crystal, not the typical aggregate of random domains. Annealed to perfection, sky metal.

here's an old school pen plot of the chip layout of a 555 timer! each mask layer is on a separate sheet of transparency film.

I’ve been trying out making #bagels lately. It has me seriously wondering if I ever need to buy them again #baking

I love yaml. It’s so great /s

Hobbies are awesome. I've started screaming at the sun.

Super excited to announce my #PenPplotter #art work will be on display in the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware during the month of May 2026! Titled "Programmable Ink: Pen Plotter Art," the show will feature works from a variety of series I've created over the past 10 years.

Thinking about how funny it is that "digital" has come to be associated with dematerialized conditions when etymologically it comes from like, fingers, the thing you use to touch stuff

It's funny to think that, thanks to password managers, not only do I not remember most of my passwords, I've never even seen them.

I have unexpectedly been invited to an event for which I will need to wear a suit. Which means I just as unexpectedly need to get a suit. There’s a lot of research to do here

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

We should stick stamps on emails just because it's cute.

Sinners is a great film. That's all.

I made 256 plotted generative art postcards for a thing next week. #p5 #plotter #mailart

A thing arrived today.

Among my other projects this week, I took some time to bake this lemon blueberry tart. It was a delicious success. Recipe courtesy of Sally’s Baking Addiction sallysbakingaddiction.com/lemon-bluebe...

Here is another solid page of lines—except this time the lines are drawn in short strokes instead of all the way across. This creates visible seams where the pen raised and lowered to the paper. #penplotter #plotterart #CreativeCoding

It's amazing how satisfying and powerful it feels to know even a little #sed and #awk. They are just great tools

Here’s one of my plots from yesterday. Boxes! With lines in them! I’m still keeping things basic with this project. This is all stuff to build on later #penplotter #plotterart #CreativeCoding #Sketchbook

Here’s one of my plots from today. Now we have short lines! #penplotter #plotterart #CreativeCoding #algorithmicart

What's a good laptop for running #linux these days? Are #thinkpad s still the way to go?

On a different note, it's probably past time for me to think about getting a new computer. All my current hardware works for now, but it's got quite a few hours on it

The nice thing about #creativecoding is that any bug can be a feature if it looks cool.

I'm going to have some time to run the pen plotter today. I'm excited

Setting up a mail art kiosk at an art thing later this month. (more on that soon) Here it is in its current state. #p5 #nextdraw #mailart #generative

New woodcut print, fresh off the Korrex. #printmaking

Looking at megafauna (for the Mesopotamian game) and I am being led by the whispering devil on my right shoulder down the path that leads to Megafauna Geese. This way lies chaos.

I squeezed in another plot today. I was inspired by some of the glitches I was seeing earlier. I just pressed my hand against the paper before I ran the plot. #penplotter

Did you know that most colleges have been offering prompt engineering classes for years already? It’s in the English department and it’s called “technical writing”

I bought a new sketchbook. I’m going to have my plotter fill it with horizontal black lines now #penplotter #codeart

Experimental animation. Indian ink on found paper. #penplotter

Emergent complexity sounds intimidating. However, when you break it down, the concept is much easier to grasp. This step-by-step guide walks you through the process of creating emergent complexity with code. #penplotter #algorithmicart #art #genuary penplotter.art/p/algorithmi...

I spent the evening messing around with #python #flask for a quick little tool. It got the job done without too much fuss. I don't think I'm likely to use it much in the future, but it is just fun to learn a little of something without any deadlines on you
