Been working on a prototype for a spaceship/aircraft building game. In this example I built a fly-by-wire stabilization system to make flying in turbulent conditions easier (you can see the elevons & rudder moving to counteract the acceleration shown on the yaw/pitch/roll gyro).

Set myself the challenge of hacking my old key operated pool cover so I can open it via web-app or HomeKit. After a few false starts and some burned out GPIO pins I succeeded www.sharpoblunto.com/News/2025/10...

You know the adage 'The bug is always in your code, never in the compiler/OS/hardware'. Well I actually ran into a hardware issue today. Working on HDR lighting pipeline in my engine the sun was appearing weirdly dim at program start, but would slowly light up. I looked for hours... 1/N

Rendering the phases of the moon in my pixel-art bonsai simulation. This is showing time sped up, in practice it matches the phase of the moon in your geolocated position. Check it out at vibes.pixelheart.io/#bonsai. #pixelart.

Love death & robots season 4 - LFG. Love the anticipation of an anthology show, which are going to be the Zima Blues & Jibaro’s and which are going to be duds.

Been working on some pixel art vignettes/simulations. They can render in both html and on a 64x32 led matrix hooked up to a raspberry pi. Might not be obvious buts it’s all very overengineered - IK solvers, particle systems, tracking the position of the sun & moon etc. lots of fun.

Built a new cherry blossom visualization for my lo-fi LED display (in addition to the existing fireplace & aquarium boxes I built a long time ago). The gently falling leaves, scrolling clouds & background audio make for a pretty idyllic final result

babe wake up new Ea-nasir lore just dropped
From the Ea-nāṣir archive:
UET 5, 643 is a list of fifty folks investing in four traders. These traders sailed from southern Iraq to Bahrain and back via Gulf. These coffers may have been literal reed baskets or something more abstract. Ea-nasir was one of those investors.

I think probably the fact that what we perceive as vast stores of knowledge and understanding are able to be frozen into LLMs so easily just means that a lot of what we think is different stuff is, in practice, really just redundant repetition of the same stuff with different signage.

basically everything good people want about the past is just because we lived so far beneath the carrying capacity of earths ecosystem so what if we just fucking ecomaxxed and biopilled and made the ecosystem so fucking sick it could just support 10 billion people idk
