Old flam3 fractal
Be the light that casts the shadow forward if you can.
Backwards-facing shadows only help them with their plan.
Tomorrow may be darker, if the bastards get their way
but that's an insufficient reason to let them have today.

It's almost harder to get a bad spin that is short enough for a social media video.

I haven't been this overflowing with ideas in a long time. It's great to have a tool that can keep up with me. I love the idea that these coins will still have these fractals on them a hundred years from now.

A maze is made with walls or ways, and a wary wanderer.
This idea is inspired by The Stanley Parable. A game without a player is just rules. A player with no game is just a dreamer. A maze isn't a maze until someone is inside it and unsure of which way to go.

These might be my favorite. Hefty, shiny brass coins with a secret that turns them into tops that spin for minutes!

After Geno is done carving the metal with photons, it's up to me to make it shine. Here's my process.

Exactly how I see it. "Look how stupid/evil this person is" posts are just part of the propaganda.
My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

My love for the color orange is rooted in this gnarly Japanese Maple that grows outside my window. Every year, it undergoes a stunningly vibrant transition before losing its leaves for the winter. I've enjoyed it since childhood, but this year I recorded it so you can enjoy it too.

I discovered they have a secret use as a flow toy.

Took a risk and ordered a few spot rugs with my art on them. The vibrance is fantastic, and the details came through reasonably well. We'll see if they're popular enough to do again, but if not, I think I'll be happy to have them around the house.
So will my cat. 😅

"Wiggy" is a word that means "I'm feeling weird, but I know it's because of the substance I've consumed", and implies "I need to change my setting, but communicating is difficult". It's an alternative to attaching those feelings to more important things, and a reminder that the discomfort will fade.

I found the feature that changes the angle of the laser's approach each pass.. Whoops, I mean Geno learned Geno Whirl!
This coin is a map of how I see emotions. Each emotional state has its counterpart on the back. We oscillate between each pair (and others), and the combined result is our "now".

Laser Fractal Space Wizard isn't just a silly title. It's also a map of my creative phases. In Laser phases, I'm chasing a specific result. In Fractal phases, I'm exploring possibilities. In Space phases, I'm creating big ideas. In Wizard phases, I'm performing. Phases often overlap.

Hello, laser!
I think it needs a name. Probably something with a prominent G, inherited from its model. Geordi? Gali? Oh! How about Geno? Inspired by my own personal childhood Boba Fett, ♡♪!?.

Laser upgrade!
It took a lot of fractals and a lot of Plotboxes, but I finally saved up enough to get a 30w fiber laser setup I've been eyeing. Soon, even the finest metals will be subject to my photonic ablations through the power of Ytterbium-doped silca fiber. (And a hefty HEPA filter!)

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.
Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

Some products create value through convenience. A spork, for example. Let's come up with silly opposites of that. Fusion products that aren't any more convenient than their constituent products. Like Diaper + Firework, Bicycle Pump + Protractor, or Toothbrush + Dog Collar.

Ever get that feeling where you encounter a work of art, music, performance, or whatever, and it's so captivating and wonderful that you don't want to learn anything about how it's made because you don't want to be able to see the flaws that people learn to focus on when they're taught how to do it?

After 20+ years of listening to it, I noticed that the first two tracks on the album Signs by Badmarsh and Shri have opposite perspectives. The first implores "You gotta make up your mind to face reality all the time". The second starts with "Run. Free. Reject reality!" Great album regardless.
