Was polishing some aluminum at work today, and turned a picture of some of the polish and turned it into a space-like piece

Reading Wayne Moore's 'Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy'. It's fascinating (if you like tools, machining, math, and metrology).

This was my favorite talk from the Better Software Conference: Eskil Steenberg - You should finish your software

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGLoKbBn-VI

Eskil and his work is super interesting, well worth a listen. Yes, he likes to be provocative (I mean he starts the Q&A by saying he doesn’t use source control!), but it’s thought provoking in the right kind of way in my opinion.

Eskil Steenberg – You should finish your software – BSC 2025

Today's scanner experiment. Printing some of the sources, grabbing stuff here and there in the house.

I guess a lot of people did this in the past, do you have any references of cool scanner works ?

I got a list of stuff I want to try, including scanning diapositives and fooling around with various types of geometries and fonts

I have a room. And in that room is a handmade workbench, an antique bureau and a sofa. Plus a bunch of hand tools, bits of electronics, all sorted of materials and books and incense.

It needs decorating. The wallpaper is coming off the walls and being repainted and the carpet is coming up and the floorboards are being stained. And one day some double doors to the courtyard are going to be put in.

But all that will take time. What you need to take from this is that it is my safe space.

In this space — my atelier — I’m gonna try making stuff to sell. Here’s how I’m explaining what I want to do:

I’ve tried to set it up to try to work with my ADHD*, hence a weird set of rules and restrictions around how it’s gonna operate. If I make things a side project and in short bursts, I’m more likely to do it.

I think this is my attempt to try and keep curiosity, creativity, experimentation, design and manufacture as part of my life on terms I can deal with.

Let’s see what happens.
