Madman with a box.

I like to make stuff, fix things, mod reality. I like to post longform nonsense here and on my blog. Avatar made by a real flesh and blood human.

I think it may be time for me to make a new t-shirt :) Option 1 or Option 2?

I don't think of myself as "old" and yet, I just used the word "fashion" as in "I am happy to fashion [object] for you."

Immediately after I said it - I realized I could have just said "make," which made me wonder at how far down in the definition list this use of "fashion" was.

7th, dead last, and "obsolete"

🤦‍♂️

I shoulda been working or sleeping

Instead I was fucking with ATTiny45's

A little thermal sticker printer is also a handy-dandy printer, so I figured I'd see what happens when I try to run it through my laminator...

Honestly, it's a lot better than I was expecting it to be :)

Working on lightsaber designs and laying out some of my old designs and prototypes as inspiration.

I kinda want one of these "Twist Sabers" but would only want it if I were printing it myself. They appear to have stopped selling the files after their first Kickstarter, which is kinda a bummer.

This kind of stuff usually leads me to this evergreen Bender quote

Got my sticker printer to join the cool kids' sticker friends club! @alpenglow @clomads

Also, trying some 8-bit versions of my avatar, inspired by @alexglow, mixed with QR codes :)

Printed over USB, will try the app in a bit

This. Fucking. Idiot.

TFG is radioactive and burned everyone who was close. He really thought his money made him different.

It only made him more of a tool.

Anyhow, I made this copy paper phone holder in a few minutes with Inkscape

I bet if I made it out of cardstock or 300GSM paper, it'd work even better

Maybe it's the capitalist in me - the idea of creating something cool, getting a patent, and then not monetizing it seems so strange.

They make them, give them away, won't sell them, and don't want to license it either? What exactly is the patent *for* then? Just to stop people from using cardboard to hold up their phones?
