still working on my rp2040-powered gameboy flash cart. the leds here are hooked up to the upper rom address lines and are basically visualizing the index of the memory bank that is currently being accessed. in this case, it also kinda serves as a music visualizer (presumably the game is loading the data to feed to the noise channel from a bank whose binary representation is mostly 1s)
This quarter @chouxsalad is teaching a class on Final Fantasy VII so we’ve packaged up my original PlayStation from 1997 (complete with childhood memory cards featuring saves before every cutscene!)
a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to be in charge of my own bookmarking infrastructure, so I exported my bookmarks from pinboard and spent the afternoon writing ~500 lines of python/html/css/bash to make a lil bespoke database manager/static site generator. pleased with the results: https://bookmarks.decontextualize.com/ (there's no link to the feed on the page, but it does support RSS! check the metadata)

Stuff I found on the Internet

Sad to see the #MutableInstruments forums closed but still working away at my little series studying Stages.

Here's a wistful little sea-inspired #modularsynth track I made back in December with generative #chiptune melodies and synthesized surf 🌊

Conjuring some dark, industrial, bit-crushed drumming in my latest "trackerless #chiptune" piece created by self patching #MutableInstruments Stages—maybe this is the boss level? 👹🌋

Here's a playlist of the full Secret Stages series:

"Before high-speed internet, nationwide dial-up services like HiTEL and Nownuri served to connect like-minded people [in South Korea]. Dubbed 'PC tongsin,' or PC communication, these early online services could be thought of as the Korean counterpart to AOL or CompuServe. Combined with a 1996 government decision to abolish prior review of music for censorship purposes[,] the mid-’90s height of PC tongsin culture was a hotbed of musical creativity in the underground."
