You can't convince me this isn't Sora2

YouTube video by Craig Bickerstaff Pirates of Silicon Valley - Insanely Great

Pirates of Silicon Valley goes so hard. Way harder than any made-for-TV movie has any business going. And Noah Wyle set an impossibly high bar for any subsequent Steve Jobs performance.

My dad was a painter. LOVED Picasso. Used to attribute something to Picasso which was that his opinion was that "The purpose of art is to make the modern world felt"

Haven't read it!

One of my favorite artists, Brian Eno, mentioned one of my favorite books, "A Pattern Language", during his interview with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social

On the surface, "A Pattern Language", by Christopher Alexander is about buildings and towns – but it even inspired Object Oriented Programming.

this is so amazing ht @btjak.es

If I say, "hey yo, Bo know this, (what?), and Bo knows that (what?)" and you keep it going, you're my kinda people

I know that in a deep sense meditation is more than just feeling good — but, regardless, it really can be helpful for feeling good.

I don't talk too much about meditation other than regarding the apps I make; but I made a point of reinvigorating my practice about 6 months back when my workload was particularly crazy — and holy cow does it really make a difference.

Harvested sunflower seeds so now I can be like Agent Mulder 🌻👽

Hmm I gotta check those out

Kinda think we should bring back the 80s term "smoke show" as a way to describe someone being hot.

Crazy that Network (1976) was basically 50 years ago 🤯

Also crazy that people still don't recognize the mechanics of media and commerce the movie highlights.

I tried "YouTube short, ceramics artist applies uranium for a glow-y effect" and got the warning lol.

I dunno – as an educated person, I do, in fact, find ChatGPT to be the superior search engine for 90% of my tasks these days.

I'm thinking the depth and gps cryptographically signed at the chip level

I think we're going to need something like, a cryptographic chain-of-custody system in digital cameras and image processing tools.

To be fully verified, source imagery will also need GPS encoding, and layers like depth information to prevent people from taking pictures of pictures.

We really need to accelerate a means for verifying authentic images and video. It's wild this is not more of a priority.

Details starting to come together on the Ice Moon environment for Apple Vision Pro.

Work-in-progress.

It's amazing what materials can do.

I wanted to create a snow dusted rock material for Ice Moon on Apple Vision Pro.

Started with Quixel color and displacement map, then used the displaced normals to create a snow mask.

Rendered in SideFX Houdini Karma.

Crazy sky tonight

Sometimes you just need to curl up with a good book
