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

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

Genuary Prompt 23: Transparency. Explore the concept of transparency. Borrowing from traditional cel animation, #Posca acrylic markers are drawn on transparent film, which can then be placed on top of a background surface. #genuary #genuary23

I dropped a nice stack of #postcards off at the post office today #ptpx

Our paper on the mysterious Devonian organism Prototaxites has now finally been published! See the paper here (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) and our explainer thread below! Prototaxites reconstruction by Matt Humpage

I just received this great #penplot for #ptpx Thanks @jeffpalmer.bsky.social !

miss the old days of the good programming shelf at the book store

My goal for this year is to get back into looking for a tech job after a much too long hiatus. I realize it’s not a good time for this, but I also realize there isn’t going to be a good time anytime soon. You’ve just got to work with what you have.

#Arduíno #cnc#Arduínopen plotter working* Made of PVC water pipes, a servo and two stepper motors. Still a lot of jiggle since the pipes have some gaps. But it was a fun project! *For certain definitions of work

This morning’s code: fiddle string handling. It’s a fine line between not putting enough new lines in, and putting in too many

The penplotter has been running all day making postcards. It’s such a lovely sound

What my plotter does after a long day of work #penplotter

USB-C is cool. But I barely own anything with a port for it, and I barely own any cables for it, so it’s still pretty inconvenient

Maybe it's just a sign that I don't study other languages enough, but I still get whiplash whenever I see an entire English phrase in a text in another language. I am still haunted by reading something in my old German classes and suddenly coming across the phrase: "Sie ist ein Marketing Managerin"

I got some nice #ptpx cards in the mail today. Thanks @peterkagey.com @aotearoan!

It’s a bit of a meme, but I really do like my old #thinkpad. They’re the 25 year old Honda Civic of laptops

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

What do you mean Unicode doesn’t have a superscript asterisk!?

I’m working on a simple tool for myself this afternoon. Even for tiny projects like this, much, much more of the work is in deciding what EXACTLY it should do than in writing the code to do it.

For all that #vim can do, I think the . command is one of it's most valuable features.

Posted my #ptpx (penplotter postcard exchange) postcards today. 7 to USA, 4 to Germany, 1 to Sweden, 1 to Portugal. Hope they are received well.

I wrote about the postcard I designed for the 2025 plotter postcard exchange #ptpx on my blog, based on a potato-based game that M.C. Escher used to play with his kids.

Happy Holidays! 🎄🎨🖌️🤖

Thoroughly enjoyed this book by @windell-oskay.bsky.social and @tubetime.bsky.social (with @righto.com). Cool to see the insides of so many electronics, especially some of the older stuff (Dubiler cap!). And the section on how they did it was also cool. Would love to illustrate some of these! 😉

I’m writing some #Java for the first time in a long time. It feels like seeing an old friend

Learn to write clickbait. Here's how.
