I first thought that adventure cat was playing with a piece of rubber until I noticed it is alive!

Final #Hackster round-up of the week, and today's three starts with the news from @matthewvenn that Tiny Tapeout is running another demoscene-inspired contest - and you can get a free tile for your entry!

(You don't get a chip for that, tho' - you'll have to pay for the devkit to actually get your hands on your creation, along with everyone else's on the multi-project die.)

Nice to see modern engines for retro consoles, complete with tooling: "Pyrite64 : N64 Game-Engine and Editor". It appears like the N64 is graphically quite more capable than what I expected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BCmKnN5eGA

I managed to put a new chuck on my hammer drill, since the old one seized up completely. I can now spend the rest of the day watching TV.

Excited by silicon!

I was recently asked what excites me most about the exploding open-source silicon ecosystem. Honestly? It depends who’s asking. For one person I might talk about Basilisk - the PULP team’s seriously impressive Linux-capable RISC-V core. For another, maybe the new GF180mcu MPW from Wafer.Space, or the millions in funding finally flowing into improving the tools. And then there are the community events that make the whole thing feel electric. There’s a lot happening at once, so to make sense of it, let me break it down into Foundries, Funding, Tools, IP, Community and the Future.
