Nature’s Middle Finger: Why the Honey Badger Gets Me

Daily writing promptWhich animal would you compare yourself to and why?View all responses Most people pick something majestic when they compare themselves to an animal. Eagles. Wolves. Maybe a lion if they’re feeling extra dramatic. That’s cute. Me? Honey badger. Not because it’s noble or graceful, but because it’s basically the living embodiment of irritated persistence. The honey badger wakes up angry, stays angry, and somehow survives everything trying to kill it. That level of […]

I send out all my warmth and love into the world with these colorful collages and time-consuming blog posts. I hope you feel it, and if it hits home with you - I sure would celebrate that.

Celebrate the small wins | Collage week 39 - iHannas Blog

I am attempting to create a whooping three-hundred and sixty-five collage artworks on paper this year. I think that is about 345 or so more than I did the year before (at least) and I am a bit behind again. The year-end is getting closer, so I will try to get to my collage table

And now, our software boots up on our hardware prototype of the #SmolPhone The keyboard kinda works, too. More work in the future but OK for now.

The substrate is able to display a "modern" UI with buttons, text areas, labels, checkbox and such under the RP2040 constraints (about 200k of RAM but rather OK compute power).

The goal is to allow users to build apps with lua scripts, as in #Scrappy https://jrcpl.us/contrib/2025/Scrappy Maybe before the end of the year, if we're lucky.

Pontus Granström: Scrappy: make little apps for you and your friends. “First and foremost, we aim to contribute a vision of what home-made software could be like. We want to make this vision as concrete as we can, by sharing a working tool and examples of apps made in it. Scrappy, in its current state, is a prototype, not a robust tool, but we hope it paints the picture we carry in our heads […]

The “messiness” of DWeb isn’t a limit. It’s exactly what makes it special and wonderful in the first place!

The Messy Adventure Called DWeb

The modern web as we know it is embedded deeply in our cultures and day-to-day lives. From social media to instant messaging to 4K streaming, we have become accustomed to a particular set of features, setting our expectations about what it should feel like to use modern software. We expect

Every once in a while, I enjoy having a closer look at my Postage Stamp with a Twist quilt.
It has over two thousand 1” (finished size) squares of scrap fabric - many with memories of past quilts & clothing. 🥰👏❤️

Next, I spent some time matching up micro-blocks to create scrappy 4-patch blocks. Sewing them all took over an hour, and pressing them all took at least that long (probably longer). But the trimming! Gods, the trimming! Very time-consuming. All told, today's effort took me about 6 (?) hours, give or take. I ended up with 91 scrappy 4-patch mini-blocks, and 10 scrappy 6-patch blocks (just to get a little fancy).
