Love that the world still finds joy in creating & solving mazes! I discovered my love for them via the video game "nethack", back when the Internet was text-only ;). I rekindled the flame in 2021, published a series of js playable mazes on the genart platform fxhash.

Holy shit, now THAT'S a supercapacitor!
175 F per cubic cm
142 F per gram
93% capacitance at 50,000 cycles
*stability at up to 3.4 V*
This may be a game-changer for a LOT of tech!
(PS: bet it's possible to DIY this in a home lab with a kiln + nitrogen bath, ez)

The beginning of a new #sculpture. Next, I'll coalesce or clear most of these bubbles. I shot this video just to test a new "manual ptz platter" I built, but after watching it I decided it's worth a share. For perspective, the paint and dichroic glass in the center here is roughly the size of a BB.

One last shot of the #heartshaped bubble before I reshape the piece.
This #sculpture is 1cm wide, made of mixed media & clear gel sealed in a snowglobe. I apply force from outside to "sculpt" the work.
It's also a #stereogram. Cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D!

When a bubble splits into a heart-shape, a photo shoot is mandatory... albeit cliche :)

How I strike the globe has dramatic effects. The shape & firmness of my hand, total force, the globe's orientation as a bubble is in flight, all must be considered.
Before filming this, I overstruck & nearly sent paint into the wall, but twisting the globe saved the day.

#macroPhoto of my latest #sculpture, seen 180° from my last post.
To make these works, I seal acrylic & gel in a glass snowglobe, then direct force into it by hand, moving bubbles to "sculpt" the colors.

Brilliant! I'll have to dig in to be sure, but I think this means sveltekit/svelte can now potentially be used to create interactive works on @fxhash.bsky.social's #genart platforms!
An often requested SvelteKit feature is now available!
Day 19 — single-file bundles for SvelteKit. By default, your apps use code-splitting to ensure that you only load the code for the current page. But sometimes you need a single bundle for the whole app, and you can now do that with the new `bundleStrategy` option

Svelte!!!
Tried it a few times, always ad-hoc, DIY "jig" kinda projects though - no planning, "just start writing"... never got off the ground.
Today I decided to port an existing project to svelte after bindings became unmanageable.
In 2 hrs, I took ~800 lines down to ~150! Way faster, no bugs!
