Source code art in the Rivulet language (github.com/rottytooth)

Honestly I’d stop if I could, but I just get carried away. After making a compiler for tmux, then solving sudoku, then playing video I wasn’t planning on making a game. These things just happen to you. Well maybe not to you, but they happen to me.
Cake is watching you: I built a camera cake (medium.com)
I attended the 95th New York Hardware Meetup on Smart Cities and IoT at Viam headquarters and during the mingling period, I met a very interesting and fun attendee named Abigail.

She showed me her website and our love story began.
The Year of the Picotron Desktop (arnaught.neocities.org)
1 year ago, on March 14, 2024, Picotron released! I had a lot of fun messing around with everything in the days after its release. On the 20th, I wrote up a blog post about some of the programs I made in it: a DVD screensaver, a bunch of cli utilities, a wordle clone, a very basic and janky Mastodon client, and a pipes screensaver. I’ve also posted on this blog about my pretty_printh function to print with ANSI codes.

Bending Spacetime in the Basement (1997) (fourmilab.ch)
One of the things I detested about being a little kid was that every time I thought of something really cool to do, I was invariably thwarted by my little brother shouting, “Mom! Kelvin's mixing rocket fuel in the bathtub again!” or “Mom! Kelvin's making a submarine out of the old refrigerator!”.

Bedtime was chaos. Then I made AI versions of my kid’s favorite characters to tell him stories. Now he calls a Cowboy (833-760-1978) or Barbie (833-674-2491) before bed. It’s bizarrely effective.
