I made my pink hoodie cooler. I just have to wait for it to dry… (it’s oil based ink so it will take awhile.)

In a night of pure magic with the incomparable @thejoedante.bsky.social and some gremlin friends, we had the best time at our sold out screening of GREMLINS 2 on 35mm (big shout out to our projectionists who helped make the night so unforgettable)

Whoever designed whatsapps "swipe up to talk" must not be in *any* group chats with elderly relatives.
24/7 accidental audio chats and non-stop confusion. 😐

To get away from the computer a bit I am doing some late night math hobbying with a friend so naturally the first thing one does is to make silly visualizations on the computer. 😅

Wow I sincerely hope that no one who reads my blog has noticed that every time I talk about the app TikTok I’ve written it as “Tik Tok”. That would sure be embarrassing if everyone knew that I was making that mistake.. for four years..

😆Guess what unicodedata.normalize / str.normalize("NFD") / COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AI / (pick your poison) do 😂
A diacritic is a mark put above, under or through a letter, changing its pronunciation and/or meaning. For example, in Spanish tengo doce años means “I am twelve years old” whereas tengo doce anos means “I have twelve anuses.” So forgetting the tilde in that sentence would be a dire/critical mistake

Last weekend was the Nova 2025 demoparty in the UK. I worked on a couple of the productions released there.
I made a 4Kb Executable Graphics picture "void main".

Since then I've also put a variation of the code up on #shadertoy www.shadertoy.com/view/3fySDR
