I recorded a video of my current Neovim + Niri setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCbwL1iRWXk
Music boxes
Testing out printing little foldable music boxes with the barcodes. Fun to try and decide on the dimensions - I'd really like a spine.
Also not sure what I want to do for structure. I put a cardboard in one of these - I bet I could cut up some scrap 1/2" plywood to use as blanks...
Barcode experiments
Testing out a barcode scanner as a way to play albums (through Spotify in this case). Wondering if this is a way to bridge from tangibility of physical media to flexibility of digital.
Working rough player scanner. TODO: I accidentally mirror-flipped this video
Spotify IDs are kind of long to do directly so switched to sequential IDs and a lookup
Screenless office
A "artistic operating system" made up of printers and a barcode scanner. http://screenl.es/
Looks like a barcode scan amounts to clicking into an article - probably feels satisfying to do
Receipt printers seem to be in use as well
A week of prototyping at the Creative Lab
Four recent experiments:
1. Webcam to avatar on canvas
Webcam to avatar on canvas
Tapestry Loom
Apparently a set of folks are working on IDEs for visualizing base model completions as trees. I love that people are experimenting with this.

Touch painting
Painting with an IR touch frame, projector, and http://image-paint.constraint.systems
paintbrush
ball
More IR frame experiments
I got the projector sized to the IR touch frame. I made a desk inset for it and a wood overlay to sit on top.
The overlay makes the section non-interactive (it had to be an overlay bc the IR beams need to get from one-side to the other).
AI Coding checkin
Thinking about a couple posts in relation to AI-use.
One by Geoffrey Litt on using agents to prep a tutorial, particularly this:
IR Screen
I ordered this IR touch screen frame not knowing what to expect and am so far pleasantly surprised. I need to map the projector to it but touch detection seems pretty good.
