With the passing of Rebecca Heineman today, I wanted to share some images from her last, now forever unfinished project. She was working on amazing stuff right up until the end.

It was Dragon Wars remastered.

Jennell Jaquays was art directing.

Added sun, moon and an atmosphere to my sky demo. Here's a sped up view from "outside". The sky is intentionally "artist" driven colour rather than simulated, in order to be easier to get the desired aesthetic. As before, the positions of everything should line up with reality. #gamedev #skybox

Les imbéciles incompétents et trop sûrs d'eux du DOGE (à l'image de Musk quoi) pensent faire des économies en remplaçant des stockages de données à long terme sur bande magnétique par un stockage "moderne" (i.e. du cloud, donc des disques durs).

these stupid fucking stemlords think that any form of hardware or software older than they are is clearly obsolescent so we should just store it on the cloud like a modern country

Was having dinner with work colleagues and was told that hiring is now horrible. Everyone lies through their teeth and every online interview has the candidate stalling until chatgpt answers on another screen.

Things need to change, fast.
Not saying that AI is bad, just that humans need to adapt.

My Apple 2 video renderer that hooks to the in-development Appletini board has more features. Appletini plugs into an Apple //e or 2gs and sends the bus information over USB. My software renders it with cycle accuracy, among other things (sound, music…). 1/

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand.

They see Canada, and the best of our values.

Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

TIL that some GL compilers puke on `uint[4](0u)` and require 0u,0u,0u,0u.

While of course most compilers are totally fine with it.

The internet, ladies and gentlemen. There’s always someone somewhere who will blow your mind.
This wonderfully bonkers chap recreates Formula 1 circuits and cars in Lego, then films the race highlights using stop-motion, keeping it in sync with the commentary.

F1 fans may love it, and Lego enthusiasts could be slightly in awe. This was, in some ways, more enjoyable than the actual race.

Huguette Caland at Kamel Mennour Gallery in Paris.
I had the opportunity to meet this brilliant artist at her studio in Los Angeles 2 decades ago.
May she rest in peace, her art continues to amaze generations.
