We have finally released our new puzzle, the Flummoxagon! We've done more tweaking and playtesting on this than any other puzzle, and I think we've managed to make a unique and addictive game. It's turned into something completely different from our original idea

Meet the Flummoxagon, a new geometric puzzle game that might just leave you flummoxed. Imagine a mash-up of Pentominoes and Sudoku. Your goal is to fit all the pieces into the hexagon frame but there’s a twist, pieces of the same color can’t touch. n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9827

We just added a puzzle frame option to our website for folks who want to preserve and showcase their puzzles n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/product...

I realized we hadn't updated our headshots in over a decade. It felt fitting to take new photos inside our own work (also featuring @nervousjesse.bsky.social @nervo.us)

We are open for commissions! n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/projects/scu...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Not at the moment

Thoroughly enjoyed @msage.bsky.social’s slime mold inspired live visuals last night for Robert Rich’s Ambient Church performance

Honestly I’m not sure. I think it might be ok but you’d need a robust attachment ring. We could make a bigger one. I think that would work better for your use

In this case, it was the customer’s request. Making it a tray puzzle does make shipping more expensive due to the larger size.

A set of geometric tiling puzzles with times hand written on them

I have been play testing our new puzzle which is _NOT_ a jigsaw puzzle. It’s been super fun. How long do you think should an easy puzzle take? What should each one of these sets of tiles be called? Internally we’ve been calling them scenarios but also considered “board” or just “puzzle”

A close up of the wooden pieces. 4 tiles have had their places swapped and stand out from the gradient field

A custom Spectre Tile Gradient jigsaw puzzle. This is a tray puzzle with more than 250 wooden pieces. Should we add this to our product catalog?

I was last hear 2 years ago when I installed it. I see they added a name plate n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9386

My current everyday wear necklace is the Reaction Möbius Pendant 3d-printed in stainless steel. It’s indestructible, doesn’t tarnish, tactile and infinite! n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/product...

The boletinoid surface on the bottom of an ash-tree bolete mushroom close us

Word of the day: boletinoid
Mushrooms having a structure intermediate between gills and pores. As seen in this ash-tree bolete. (I love these) #fungifriends

Two unique Hyphae lamps cast a web of intricate shadows on a wall

Our Hyphae lamps are inspired by mycelial networks. Each lamp is unique. We grow them using an algorithm based on how veins form in leaves. We have a few in stock now: n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/generat... #sciart

stubby rose anemone

we saw a bunch of different types of anemones: plumose, moonglow, aggregating and stubby rose. anemones were blanketing the ground everywhere

most importantly, @jensseattle.bsky.social showed me a nudibranch! Here's a lovely Monterey sea lemon, a type of dorid sea slug

purple ochre sea star

orange ochre sea star

orange sea star with a hint of purple?

My daughter's favorite was the sea stars. We saw Ochre sea stars in purple and orange. But the purple is much more common. Scientists think the colors come from their diet (purple ones eat a lot of mussels) @echinoblog.bsky.social has an article on it: echinoblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/why-...

macro photo of a Northern Feather Duster Worm with feather like plumes striped burgundy and blue radiating from its mouth

I think my favorite creature I saw was the worms! These feather duster worms use their plumage for respiration, filter feeding and sensing. If you disturb the water they quickly retract into their tubes

I was recently in Seattle and I got to go tide pooling with @jensseattle.bsky.social who I have been following online forever!

Two hyphae tea lamps on a wood shelf in my office. They cast intricate shadows on the shelf above and the wall.

We made 5 extra Hyphae Tea Lamps. They are available in my shop n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/product...
