A few months ago I built a large bookcase for the guest room + office. Then I decided that the lower half would be better utilized as a dresser.
The final (for now)
I partially disassembled the dresser and then replaced the front and the knob. This saved me from needing to make and fit drawer boxes. The old sides are still visible (that's how the dimensions happened to work out).
I wanted my dock laptop to feel more like furniture - maybe nostalgia for the 'family room computer' from when I was a kid.
The box
It did feel different! But not too long after I went a pretty different direction for the room (less screen) and moved it down into the basement.
I wanted to document some of the work I've been doing at our house. I put up a bench seat + shelves + a sort-of sideboard in the living room in December. And I finally got our artwork up in a gallery wall a little after that.
Bench with custom dog cubbies and bookshelves. It's since gotten a cushion
The sideboard somewhat organized.
I was reading about using random selection of proportional tickets to schedule CPU tasks and wanted to try probabilistically selecting pixel colors. This effect was interesting but I think I was hoping for more structure or more of a feel like a physical process. Will keep exploring.
Making another custom spotify interface - focused on surfacing 6 random albums from a collection I've put together.

I recorded a video of my current Neovim + Niri setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCbwL1iRWXk
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...
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
Four recent experiments:
Webcam to avatar on canvas
Painting with an IR touch frame, projector, and http://image-paint.constraint.systems
paintbrush
ball
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).
