I also find it excellent for research & focused deep writing. Writing about these two paintings recently, I “hung” them in my bedroom with a keyboard on my lap & Obsidian in the center, with a map on the side & private music without headphones. Top tier setup, no distractions.

WIP excerpt: Encouraging follow-up questions with an LLM, by highlighting less-known scientific concepts which generate automatic questions you can refine. Trying to make it easier to be curious!

Pressed the wrong button while slicing my 3D print but making an infinite number of one of my project’s parts seems more fun than the complete project??

Stopped by Shopify’s “shop local” NYC popup & realized everything on my body today went through Shopify: Rains & Baggu bags, Meller sunglasses, Phluid shirt, Outdoor Voices pants, Allbirds shoes, down to TomboyX underwear, socks. To shop outside big box & Amazon, they’re impressively inescapable

This weekend I co-ran the 10th annual ITP Stupid Hackathon! 50-something people gathered at @itp-ima-nyu.bsky.social to make a tamagotchi that forces you to vape, a table that criticizes & shakes everything off itself, fish locomotion, a Chrome extension for gravity, a working knitted breadboard…

Online shopping fills me with guilt & indecision. Gasmask Clippy could amplify those feelings by explaining to you the environmental/health hazards that come with a product

If I were to design public art, I’d erect a super-scaled USB-C port as a fountain in Brussels near the EU headquarters, as a monument to their power in mandating the port. The stone sculpture will overstay its welcome just like the port surely will

🦋 As a prolific liker & lacking bookmarks, it’s hard to find past Bsky likes. I made an infinite canvas search tool for all my likes, auto-positioned by similarity, using OpenAI embeddings (can search for related keywords; none of these posts say “pet”) & with media/link filters for visual browsing

For some reason this photo looks fake but going to the Connecticut shoreline was real & v relaxing 😌 (📷 @dylanwahbe.bsky.social)

This week I received junk mail from the ASPCA with these holiday photo cards of animals…all badly generated by AI??

It inspired making a tool for you to get ahead on the AI junk mail trend & print your own: junk-mail-generator.vercel.app

Apple is claiming the new Mac mini is the first carbon neutral Mac. Fascinating that the majority of the carbon footprint reduction came from clean power, across manufacturing & product use. I expect these clean power investments are profitable, plus the marketing drives sales

TIL balloons/inflatables are just a sheet of Mylar heat-sealed‽ You can make one in whatever shape (for next to free) using a heat press around the edges of a sheet & inflate it with a blood pressure pump. Physical materials >>>

It’s so wild in NYC where everything costs a fortune that the two outdoor things we made free are beautiful parks (yay) & car parking??

Constant notifications about bad news zap us of our ability to work on big problems. In protest, I made a calendar feed of fake environmental calamities to bring that chaos straight into your focus space, overlapping with your life/work/sleep & preventing you from using your time well

If you ask Stable Diffusion to generate equirectangular imagery (3D panoramas for VR environments), you get the aesthetic of a pano with totally glitchy sides/edges. I made a little generator-viewer tool to explore these equirectangular-glitch.vercel.app

So so excited to re-join Watershed as Design Engineering Lead after I graduate next spring!! I had a blast piloting the role this summer 💙

I started in Feb ‘21, when we were a dozen people on Zoom. Today, it’s ~400 across 4 offices managing a gigaton of CO2, yet just beginning!

From late last night, when I finally set up my circuit correctly for an Arduino to measure the voltage of the solar panel powering it 🌅
