Testing my prototype NFC tags with wireless LEDs, powered by a phone's NFC reader! Now I just need to work on my video editing skills to do the colours justice.

On sale tomorrow: notfarcomms.com

3D printing adventure continues. Can't seem to get a decent photo of this but it looks better in "real life".

The process was: upload my poor caricature of Spock to ChatGPT, ask it to generate a 3D model image of it, upload that new image to Image to 3D on Makerlab, print out the result.

Getting ChatGPT to create 3D model versions of my old T-Shirt designs. Pretty good! It couldn't handle the zombie hand stuck on the sword, but I'll let it off.

Here's an old process video I did for a mash up T-shirt design I made - On A Michonne. The "track" was made in Udio.

3D printer up and running. Going to be integrating LEDs and other components for some pretty cool models, phone stands, keyrings, NFC related stuff and then onto including the ESP32.

Yes, the middle model is Marvin the Paranoid Android in Hello Kitty form, an old T-shirt design IE. Hello Hiker!

I've made a progressive web app, a kind of web page you can install as an app. Started simple with a random stuff generator, if you're on Android it can be used with an #NFC tag... write "notfarcomms" as text to the tag and it will generate a new random thing when you scan it.

Found a plastic mug to house the above gubbins in.

Behind this calm, slightly boring image hides a story of plastic fume inhalation and care free lighter and Swiss army knife weilding that would enthrall the masses, had the fumes not stricken the whole process from my memory.

What is it?

Why is it?

The underwhelming yet useful answer to come but, the connections on the Wemos D1 mini have been made using the wire wrapping tool, which you don't see very often. It's a cool little tool worth getting hold of to avoid soldering on prototypes and whatnot.

Looking through old folders from a pre-AI video world, seems I spent a lot of time doing stupid stuff.

Sketch of cute monster toy thing? Imagine it black with glowing eyes that light up without needing a battery when placed by your phone... 'cause that's what I'm trying to make!

Testing python based posting script, if you read that boring set of words... it worked! I don't know why but I always find this cartoon/meme hilarious :D

Found an old "Confused Travolta" I did. Very excitable!
