It's no secret that I've been struggling, and my therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

@davebauerart I’ve heard her interviewed on Geoff Feder’s Full Blast podcast a few times and she’s always good. Your episode with her is in my queue.

I consider this one of the best chat's I have had with an artist about the experience of building a practice of creative exploration. If that sounds interesting, i hope you check it out. I am super lucky to get to talk to a wide variety of creative people and learn all the different ways we can find a path to creativity. If you know someone who might dig it, please share!

@davebauerart you may remember we met at the Carolina Sponsored maker meetup in Altoona. I have to make it up to Maker Cap one day, unfortunately that’s a weekend with several conflicts for me.
@davebauerart the slow printing is offset by the need for only a few layers
@davebauerart 9 or 10 years ago I showed off “rubber stamps” at MakerFaire Pittsburgh. I used NinjaTek filaments which were the first on the market. I got my best results with the original NinjaFlex which was the lowest durometer available. Cheetah was a little harder I think, and worked ok too. There was a third even harder one whose name escapes me. You’re right you need to print quite slowly, and I used a little retraction to cut down on stringing. #maker #3dprinting #rubberstamp #makerfaire

what do you mean #elonmusk did a #nazi salute on live tv at the #unitedstates presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

@hauntedhideaway one of my kids does this. I have to just look the other way
@foosel as a long time user of Octoprint, I’d say you’ve wildly succeeded.
@rasterweb the old “boot and rally.” Usually seen in college. Usually associated with alcohol. Don’t ask how I know.
