Does @standard.site require more from a server than a static site? I like that an RSS feed can be built as a static file.

Found a nice Sudoku algorithm, and made it Cuttle-ified, which means arbitrary glyphs and seeded random. I solved this one and it took a while for the emoji to click, but it was fun doodling. cuttle.xyz/@forresto/Su... #CuttleXYZ #puzzle

any polyrhythmic nerd rock duos need a parametric animated music video? #CuttleXYZ

This is the most detailed 3D rendering of a eukaryotic cell to date, obtained using X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy datasets. 🔬🧪

Biggie Smalls vs Thomas the tank engine

I have a "Shadow" modifier in Cuttle that can do pseudo-3D. Here's a growing fractal vase, Sierpinski curve. #CuttleXYZ

Click around there. 😎 I made one of the "T" sketches, a port of my animated Sierpiński curve. Impressed with the other sketches, music, and background effects. Good company.

Cooking vid algo showed me someone making garlic powder... by toasting and grinding the skins. I know better than to reply. But it's such a weirdly specific confident wrongness, and doesn't seem to be intentional ragebait.

Hey, do you know string instrument teachers or have a beginner student at home? What if the material given to beginner music students for home practice were something that facilitates intuition and gives immediate feedback instead of being just ink on paper? #violin #viola #musiced #musicteaching

$8/ gal = €1.84/ l 😅

Found a nice way to modify a QR Code that makes it friendlier for inlay, pen plot, laser score, 3D print...

Fixed! The idea: concat the lakes path to the land path, and use fill-rule: evenodd. Found lakes geojson via @nvkelso/natural-earth-vector. observablehq.com/@forresto/or...

I want to port my Observable notebooks to my own site. There are some fun experiments in there, and it would be nice to have that notebook authoring flow in my own space. observablehq.com/@forresto/mu...

I really like Wes Hargis' series of illustrated stories of feral childhood in the 1970s. youtube.com/shorts/8D4Fx...

I made it wavy by rotating the small squares. Catnip for parametric design... you can animate the parameters here: cuttle.xyz/@forresto/Ti... #CuttleXYZ

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.) finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk. enjoy. cabel.com/wes-cook-and...

Helsinki transport had a phase last year where they demanded ID to make sure you weren't using someone else's ticket / phone. Felt wrong, but I didn't look up if it was legal.

Thursday sky was doing some kind of optical effect with the sunrise, and @jhilden.bsky.social got this picture, which I had to enhance with fuego Elmo.

Still thinking about worker vs boss mentality about AI.

One way this could work: Amy replies to Bob's post, and it shows as a quote post on Amy's profile. If Bob approves it, then it also shows as a reply under Bob's post. This kinda unifies replies vs quotes, which people use inconsistently, and makes it easier to ignore bad replies,

Highly recommended to watch this 20min experimental docu

Sorry @zed.dev and @zen-browser.app... one of you is going to need to add some color to your logo or something.

Boomer family member AI-edited a summer family photo to add xmas sweaters. I can see that being innocent fun for them, but everyone under 50 was uncomfortable with it. We said please don't, but I wonder if there's some good articulation about why we shouldn't fake memories.

Isn't it the friends we made along the way?

If there is room, is it more efficient to keep 12 liter boxes of oat milk in the fridge, or in the cabinet and chill them as they are used?

Hypercard / Flash / Dreams... all thriving creative scenes within a closed ecosystem. All kneecapped by business decisions. Could an open source tool build such a scene?

fed my digipet today 🌞

Love it when a plot comes together. Score wheel, pens, blade. ObservableHQ/D3 for map projections and Cuttle for Boolean ops on the vectors.

I still think that replies should need to be approved to show up. I've never really had "numbers" >10 though, so I'm speaking as someone who accidentally looks at replies on occasion.

Review of Lily Allen's new album: it's like a tv series of a messy failing open marriage. It's cool to turn an album into a coherent story. People that do creative stuff should keep coming back to it.

Hello again Blue skies

Considering making a boot-to #Picotron system, it is so cozy. This one-button gravity flow game introduced me to Tiki Pona, a cozy constructed language. www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=154...

#30daymapchallenge 17: A new tool Helsinki enjoyed a grand total of 12 minutes of sunshine in November (1.–13.11). No better time to remember that yes, the sun does still exists. This map shows Helsinki's shadiest / sunniest places. New tool? #GRASSGIS solar modelling. By @tadusko.bsky.social

Are there any body tracking computer vision thing for sports movements? One person? Groups? Open and local preferred.

After experimenting with Urban Müller’s minimal programming language, “Brainfuck”, we created our own version, “bff” – a soup of thousands of randomly interacting 64-byte tapes initially filled with random noise.

Blaise talks about getting in "swing" with a rowing crew, the boat finding a soul. This is what it feels like to swing with a gym full of contra dancers. youtu.be/KevQxr-saFw...

This talk is absolutely tremendous. AI, cellular automata, how to define intelligence, how life emerges from building blocks, symbiogenesis… Incredible. overcast.fm/+AAhjRoBRgM0

Server Charms are tiny, portable microcontroller setups made with recycled vape batteries. They create their own Wi-Fi network, inviting curious people to connect with their devices where a captive portal opens, leading to small webpages. codeberg.org/actinomy/ser...
