Say what you will about Boston (I’m not going to defend it at all) but this is great to see. Proud Masshole here 💪 I went to a smaller local town protest and everybody was joyful, highly educated, and ready to p!ss on Trump’s grave.

WTFDT

Taking my “moonshot” at this fun interactive physical basketball video game that we built. I led the tech components with my multidisciplinary crew at Hovercraft Studio 🏀

Nice to see a positive counterpoint to the spineless behavior of the largest tech companies.

ICE violence was the impetus to modernize my video aggregation site that I've been running for 16 years, now with over 1 million videos in the database. I'd like to add lots more features, but it's a start: progressvideo.tv Authoritarianism turned me back into a dev developer?

25+ years into my software development career and I still do be writing a lot of code 💖

Stop me if I’m overdramatizing, but I’m beginning to wonder if algorithm-driven public chat may have a downside.

I have friends who are/were in 18f & USDS. “The one person” is burning every single institution down to claim it all. It’s tragic, and unfortunately nobody knows the depths unless they’re on Bluesky and subjects themselves to the daily horrors.

Used Claude Code/Gemini to help me make a CEF browser->Spout2 simple app for Windows that ill release soon. Going to do the same for Syphon on MacOS because why not. There were old implementations of this, but most were abandoned. Let me know if this sounds useful!

What I'm listening to today: "Main Menu", Kazumi Totaka From "Mario Artist: Communication Kit", a piece of pure utility software for operating the Japan-only N64 modem. Maybe Totaka's most experimental work ever; it's mostly minimal ambient. One floaty techno track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgDY...

I've been working towards implementing a number of onnx computer vision models directly in TouchDesigner. It's wild how much python I'm writing these days. This is DepthAnythingV2 running at 60fps with a 256x256 input. ~10ms inference time on a laptop 4090 🤯

At the last Creative Code Toronto, I did a little demo about how to create + animate shapes with p5.strands, our new shaders-in-JavaScript system. I'll get some more polished stuff out eventually, but hopefully this sheds some light on the things you can do! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rxQ...

#Booksof2025 39 - Necromancer by @greatdismal.bsky.social (William Gibson) As a keen Sci Fi reader, I'm surprised I hadn't read this before. Even 40+ yrs old it is vibrant and fresh, with unexpected turns. Really deserves its status as a modern great. #BookSky

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

A recent client project. I built a custom solution for touch detection on a curved LED screen, and an SVG-powered content & animation system for quick iteration on design & copy updates.

I made a froggo beat, combining my generative sequencer with a couple of layers of real froggo shit 🐸

Another little jam/loop

Excellent vintage-but-more-relevant-than-ever article by @mrprudence.bsky.social 🙏 I’ve recently been working in more node-based environments and would note their increasing prevalence. This is a great read.

This is going to be the vibe coding version of the Chernobyl disaster, a wholly preventable failure caused by a combination of hubris, incompetence and design flaws.

Need a break from doom scrolling? Watch this amazing 3D LED chandelier we worked on with GlowMotion earlier this month 😍 #volumetrics #3DLED @t3kt.bsky.social

Very happy to be a small part of Max Cooper's new album release On Being.

I found a good source, although being informed is increasingly disturbing. zeteo.com/s/this-week-...
