Next time someone calls themselves a 'futurist', maybe read the futurist manifesto they're alluding to..
"We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.
We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice."

Btw the techno-optimist manifesto quotes and references Marinetti who wrote both the futurist and fascist manifestos

Hmmm. Write Z80 first, then port to 6502? Write 6502 first, then port to Z80? Write 68000 first, then port to both Z80 and 6502? Write a bytecode interpreter on both 6502 and Z80 and then code to that bytecode?

I guess I'm looking for an excuse to think about writing code instead of, you know, actually writing code.

Huffing nitrous seems to be of increasing popularity these days, which is of interest to me because people keep leaving heavy duty gas cylinders lying around after they're drained of their intoxicating gas, and I'm wondering what possible use I might find for these cylinders

I'm planning on being at EMFCamp again this year but also I am entirely out of ideas for anything to submit so my bias is to actually just go to an event where I don't have to care about doing so, but is there anything I could do that people would maybe be interested in?

So happy. I now have 2 Farnsworth's (technically one is a Woodroffe for reasons people who know me will appreciate)

They can talk to each other with both audio and video, either both on the same network or externally via a Strowger server (I decided against calling this Exchange) over UDP

Code (PhiloFax)for the Farnsworths is in github ExtremeElectronics/PhiloFax

Details on the build https://www.extremeelectronics.co.uk/farnsworth-warehouse-13-artifact-creation/

Big thanks to @brian for sharing his pico camera code and circuit

Lots of fun just now closing an @emf round of talks/workshops, I want to see and do all the things! Such a varied and exciting programme shaping up for EMF attendees, I'm so excited. (If you submitted a talk or workshop, check your email!) #emfcamp #emf2024

Who knows where I can buy cheap omniwheels to fit N20 motors ?

I have an Idea for the #tildagon.

I know I say this once in awhile, but it’s worth noting:

Every good railroad track inspector out there has found something on the track during their career that has prevented a derailment. The money saved by that derailment that never happened would more than pay for all the wages, insurance, tools, training, and equipment for that track inspector’s entire career.

Today, I found one of those derailment-type track defects, and paid for my whole career for about the fifth time.

I want to try the "make 50 of something" technique again!

So this week, I'll try to find 50 things to do with a Software Defined Radio! 📻

I'll use this simple USB dongle, which you can get for around $30.

Dreamt about an X-men movie whose climax occurred in the parking lot of a Walmart set somewhere like West Texas. Mutants divided into two warring parties battled each other amongst parked cars out on the asphalt.

Right when it looked like the tide of the fight was turning, an enormous tornado appeared on the horizon, flanked by two smaller tornadoes.

The mutants tried to flee to safety inside the store, but most were sucked away by the twisters.

Standard EMF planning call:

• Someone pitches a wild idea
• Discard idea due to practicality
• Finish meeting enthusiastically agreeing on a ridiculous new plan that involves a bouncy castle blower OR a vacuum depending on testing in a nearby canal

I have given lettuce a comfortable home where she can be safe, with soft, warm blankets and plenty of food, but her crazy little half-feral self would rather spend her nights outside sleeping on a chair
