Testing out printing little foldable music boxes with the barcodes. Fun to try and decide on dimensions - I really want a spine.
I want to do something more interesting than the cover in a black-and-white. Maybe run a line art filter and then color them in?

Tried implementing a naive 'fingerprinting' on the table. Just measuring the distance between the points (with some threshold built in) and classifying based off that - I think this opens up possibilities for things like dials.

🌱 Making: More IR frame experiments
I got the projector sized to the IR touch frame. I made a desk inset for it and a wood overlay to sit on top.

I ordered this IR touch screen frame not knowing what to expect and am so far pleasantly surprised. I need to map the projector to it but touch detection seems pretty good.

Infinite loading - need to do some offloading to smooth it out i think

New from me on constraint.systems:
Cosine lets you embed and hash any text and view its nearest neighbors.
cosine.constraint.systems
I wanted to explore what it would be like to use the similarity capability of embeddings as the central organizing feature of a site.

I've been listening to a lot of playlists lately and wanting a way to learn more about the currently playing artist without pulling out my phone. I put together a little raspberry pi setup to sit on our shelves and display info about the current playing artist.

I made a (Spotify) web player for the excellent Herb Sundays (herbsundays.substack.com) playlist series.
It's focused on surfacing a random playlist from the series. I've been using it to put something on in the morning. It's nice to have hand-curated playlists with some intention to them.

Stitched together some Neovim autocmds with Niri window commands so that the app window is bound to the special "app" buffer position and size. One step closer to NeovimOS.
