Chris does great video essays on films. Go watch this one about the opening scene of Iron Man, it’s very good. https://youtu.be/a7_dEjHUWa0

Before you get frothy knickers about a phone with a hinge and spend four figures on it, consider donating a little bit of that hinge money to st jude instead https://stjude.omg.lol

Opening scene hits so much harder knowing the twist #Films

Had quite a bit of fun making this grass-style effect #CSS

Congratulate yourself for doing difficult things, even if they might not seem difficult to others.

The new tape animation was more complicated than I originally thought.

First the reel size, set via an <circle> radius, doesn't grow linearly. As tape enters the spools they fill up quickly but the bigger the spool is, the more tape it takes to add the next "layer", so the spools fill up slower the more tape they have on them. The radius is then a function of the length of the tape stored, rather than a factor of the playback duration.

The second part is that the sprockets (spinny bits) don't spin at a constant rotation for a given playback speed. The tape has to move between the spools at a constant speed. When there is less tape on one spool then it has to spin faster to keep up and likewise tape on the fuller spool has to spin slower to match the same speed. So the speed of each sprocket is a function of the sprocket radius, rather than a fixed value

Fun fact, on real cassette players tape moves at 4.76cm/s

This is starting to feel reel (pun intended)

I spent about half of today trying to get nvidia drivers working on a fresh Debian/gnome install on a partition from my windows pc. I was not successful

Building tiny occult gadgets in the lab is just the right kind of weird zen I need right now…

I wired an ESP32 to a tiny e-ink display to build an offline pocket oracle. A little button press pulls a randomized tarot card, plus it wakes itself up at 7am every morning to deal a card for the day.

Still tinkering but the battery unit should last for weeks(?) Next step is adding card reversals, runes and I Ching ☺️

The procrastination is strong today

unlimited cassette colours!?

I'm trying to get my 3d buttons looking and feeling good, thoughts?

There needs to be 3 states, regular, held & disabled
