It's been difficult to get anything past my "is it good enough to post?" filter recently. But sometimes a displaced surface with a noise pattern is ok.

I've spent my life chasing the creative flow state. So often it's just out of reach, but sometimes it just switches on, which is nice. π’

We can always use more rainbows. Except if we hit maximum capacity at which point we might need to start compressing them so we can fit more.

Sometimes I get in the right state to add new stuff and sometimes I just trace and outline what's already there. It's sort of nice to be able to keep momentum without inspiration. Until I run out of stuff to trace. π

Apparently YouTube view counts can decrease. Maybe it's when Google detects that people have forgotten what they watched?

I've been getting into spectral color fields. They've got so many colors, and spectra. Some additional clever commentary on what is essentially just a grid with some rainbow stuff.

The Artist / Developer Spectrum video is now out for public release! TouchDesigner users tend to fall into a spectrum from Artist to Developer. Each style has advantages and disadvantages. The trick is to combine elements of both!

I'm not sure I can reliably produce dailies, but maybe like biweeklies of a continuous series of TouchDesigner experiments. It would be a good structure to keep some sort of creativity flowing. Right now so much of what I'm doing is building systems and tools, which I love. But it's different.

the reality is trump is definitely without a doubt going to try to install himself as president again in 2028 and the reason no one in the media is really saying that or taking him on when they say that is they know itβs probably over a 50% chance of it working and they want to be on his good side

From 2018, which is apparently 7 years ago which is bizarre. I was really into the "plexus" technique for a long time. This version used a geometry shader to generate the lines. With pops it's much simpler to set up. Might be time to revisit those old projects.

Somewhere in this UI is a tiny button indicating whether the currently playing track is a 'favorite'. To whom it may concern at Apple, that button is like 2 mm on my 23" monitor. You can do better.

People wonder why I'm so insistent on 100% consistent, logical, and accurate naming of files and related stuff. It's because when you don't do that I have to clean up after you. Because similar doesn't count for code that's looking for things by name.

Gestural interfaces have trained me to just sort of paw at devices when I want them to do or stop doing stuff. Sometimes it works. Sometimes I'm just tapping a piece of plastic that knows nothing of my desires.

This was a test for a recent installation with @immerse.studio. And yes it's horizontal. And I don't feel like recapturing it. Rotate your phone I guess. Or don't. Or maybe shake it a bit. Also

There's something about large codebases that gives me an urge to modify and restructure and expand. I love TouchDesigner dearly but it's a different experience.

I've made this scene before. I will make it again, slightly differently. We can call this refinement. Or redundancy. π
