The full triptych is out of the kiln! They all have flaws (e.g. s-crack in the too thin bottom of the one on the left), but I like where they'e heading!

Don't normally post my ceramics on here, but this one is a chance to talk about George Ohr the "Mad Potter of Biloxi" and the teacher I learned about him from, Steve Horn.

My first piece out of the kiln, being inspected by the neighbors cat!

Just registered for an @oshwassociation summit workshop. Very excited 🤩

Open Hardware Summit is in Berlin this year btw!

Ukrainians have now lived with four years of war. They have lost limbs, loved ones, livelihoods and homes, but not hope. Here are some of their stories. All posed with photos taken before Russia’s full-scale invasion changed their lives.

We found so much to include that the book ended up a full third longer than I had originally planned. It took years longer than I originally expected. But it was a labor of love, a passion project, something we made because we wanted to make something beautiful and inspiring. I can hardly believe it’s finally finished. I hope you will love it too.

TIL that there is a very nice, free PDF book called “Conway’s Game of Life: Mathematics and Construction” that systematically introduces common structures and patterns and discusses how to reason about their behaviour.

It’s beautifully typeset with tons of diagrams. Well worth a look.
