Writing detailed and a bit math heavy blog post about specular microfacet-based BRDFs.

A personal CRM system that lives locally in your device, no data shared anywhere

I've been vibecoding* a calendar-based personal note-taking thingy: https://github.com/cu/doneski

The idea is that each morning, you click the "New Day" button, and your Todo list along with other notes carry forward from the previous day to the new one. When you accomplish something, you add it to the Done section. Other sections can be added as needed. I have been using a text editor and/or shell script for this purpose for about a decade, but have been inspired to make it into an app now that I can delegate the boring bits of app development. It is not quite done yet, but it's getting close to being usable.

(* To the inevitable downvoters, this is in part an experiment to get familiar with what SOTA LLMs can handle. With the intent of comparing it to local LLMs once I get my Strix Halo set up as a coding assistant. I only code as a hobby currently, and have too many other hobbies, and this app wouldn't exist without something else doing the heavy lifting. That said, this is a pretty low-stakes application and I don't commit any code that I haven't reviewed and don't understand.)

i guess some kind of a mashup Airtable x Yahoo Pipes, but i've never used either of these

in each job i find myself trying to enhance information in order to visualize it, so this time i'm finally giving it a try

i keep building more to https://service-zen.com instead of finding my first client. but this is what i’m working on

I'm working on a system to create animations, and a new cicd system.

wasm based in browser steganography with a full file system/viewer embedded.

I made Right Words (https://www.rightwords.io/) a fun little solo project, tl;dr it's a twice weekly word puzzle where you trace two-word phrases on a grid by finding a path with exactly one gap (the space between words). Think NYT Strands but with a jump!

React + TypeScript with Vercel handling deploys, no backend (yet), the puzzles are just JSON. The toughest part is the puzzle generation: packing multiple snaking paths onto a grid like jigsaw pieces with the constraint that each answer has exactly one valid path. Coming up with good two-word themes has been its own challenge too!

Always looking for feedback or suggestions for improvement. :)

I’m developing a Gizmondo emulator. It’s an old gaming handheld.
