timeless way of building = 5 out of 5 (every page packed with beauty and insight)
lighter side = 3.5 out of 5 (although one story makes the whole book worth it)
education of cyrus = 5 out of 5 (really amazing how timeless much of the advice is, although pairs well with a companion review)

excited for the next long flight
took forever to get dressed but feeling pretty good about the look
Went through my downloads folder and revisited a few systems i’ve since abandoned. Would love to hear what you think

dialing in the details now
added a more curvy primitive for half the brush strokes
palette a sort of vaporwave / stitching mash up
all made with javascript

“I’m very careful to only predict things which have already happened.”
you know you’re making progress when new WIPs make old WIPs that you used to love look terrible
first wrote the code for this in 2020
last night replaced all built in primitives with custom vertex lines. no more rect, point, background, etc

Very excited to present Scribble Together!
It's an experiment:
- I created the algorithm not knowing what the colors will be
- I've asked 20 friends to create palettes
- Collectors can select their palette
I'll share the palettes and more details soon!
Let's have fun :)

found a bunch of old phones. why and when did this color go away? feels like every home / office device for a few decades was this color and now i never see it
you dropped this…
it’s absolutely wild how much my mood can change based on a hit. was in a terrible mood for 2 days and then hit amazing this morning and really turned my day around
double edged sword of teaching your kid that something is mean to say (eg I don’t like this kid)
they now know not to say it, but they can also now be hurt by it from others

i wrote a tutorial for making a tiny language model + generative storytelling algorithm
i’d love for you to read it

writing a very simple tutorial for the newsletter on making generative stories in p5js.
excited to share. any questions or requests?
will also include some thoughts on LLMs

feels like a stupid question but do receivers degen tips expire if not claimed or connected?
“If I design fireplaces for other people-not for myself-then I never have to build a fire in the fireplaces I design. Gradually my ideas become more and more influenced by style, and shape, and crazy notions.”
The ratio of “i built it : i use it” has never been smaller. Still probably worth it for the savings.

We have a habit of thinking that the deepest insights, the most mystical, and spiritual insights, are somehow less ordinary than most things-that they are extraordinary.
In fact, the opposite is true: the most mystical, most religious, most wonderful…they are more ordinary than most things.

i'm realizing getting the scribbles to do anything i ask for is unlikely
If you want to make a living flower, there is only one way to do it—you will have to build a seed for the flower and then let it, this seed, generate the flower.

a very bad drawing of a tennis shoe i wanted to get made with a toe stripe that would perfectly blend into the baseline when returning

too many ideas. very fun. lots to build. yay. this is not a haiku. i wish it were.
latest newsletter out. first step towards moving beyond generative art and learning solidity more deeply
