A bin lorry went past me today with 3 fellas staring at me through their windscreen and a big message above them saying 'Caution Operatives at the rear' 🤣

I can't get over how expensive computers are now. I saw an M1 mac mini 16tb 2tb on CEX for 480. Now they are nearer 700 quid! I missed the boat there. A.I is amazing but it's crap the way computers have gone up so much. It looks like my 2013 Mac Pro is going nowhere fast. I do all my work on it.

How exciting. I just bought a Raspberry Pi 400 for 35 quid. Now is it going to be RISC os or shall I attempt AROS ( sorry Acorn people I know that is a silly question)

Oh that's nice news to see the kids tv show Play School is returning to the BBC. I can't wait to go through the round window and see Humpty, Jemima and Hamble again. Although they are in a museum no doubt. It's a hard act to follow Derek, Brian, Floella and all the others. Please don't ruin it BBC!

A missed opportunity at 1300 dollars. Vr will not be going mainstream with quest 4. Its a shame because vr can be amazing and awe inspiring

I've just managed to create a full plasticine stop motion animation program using A.I /this was my first test.Not only can I sculpt it in VR /make his eyes and mouth move automatically when I talk, the A.I added all the bones automatically and made Berk walk! Like plasticine. It just made me gasp!!!

A journalist from The Sun decided that this picture of a Seagull eating a Gregg's sausage roll whole was another example of yobs invading Southend and running wild. That is a bit of a stretch don't you think 🤣🤣🤣

I just bought a small non ebike bike from China off Amazon. I am off Ebikes now. Ebikes are brilliant things but if you get a puncture it's so stressful. What do you do? Can't leave it out in the street. This new bike has 12 inch wheels. I wasn't prepared for how small it was! Lets see how I do!

Isn't it funny when you buy something off Ebay and you open the box you can often smell the house of the person. Not that it is nasty or anything most of the time Every house has it's own smell and the owners probably don't even realise. I find it fascinating...know what I mean?

I just had a momentary memory of playing Attic Attack in the 80s just now...where does the time go. Things have come on along way in 40 years as I sit here with a VR headset on my head and use A.I to construct worlds to wander through. I still get that excitement. It's just different now......

When I was 7 I remember the neighbour being a right old grumpy old man. One year he put his gardening fork through our football and I thought grumpy old git! Now I am older I realise the sound of a ball being kicked constantly against a wall is ****** aggrivating. If only our younger self knew..

OMG Astra 6 - everything they say about it is true...this is so stunning. Here is the Logan's Run City of Domes created in Blender from the video. What is next I wonder. Who remembers when GPT first came out and people thought that was marvellous with just words. Now look. VR worlds here we come.

Pixelblip @pixelblip.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Just about to try GPT 6 Astra to see if the hype is worth it. All those videos showing Blender models are amazing To be fair Claude did a pretty good job of Blender scripts and creating 3d objects. We are getting nearer to complete VR worlds. What an interesting an weird time

I was thinking of all those A n E accidents at Xmas. Someone told me their granny got a frozen chicken out of the freezer on Xmas eve and dropped it on their foot and broke their toe. What a think to happen. I think I've got one. It throbs like hell and I'm hobbling around like some old geezer

So the Iphone Duo.....$2500. Eek I wonder if it will go down in history like the Vision Pro. One thing that bothers me is that when it's shut one edge is curved and the other flat. Not a fan of that. Maybe they wanted a book look. Where can you use a 2500 phone and not worry it will get pinched?

Did a bit more to my sequencer tonight. Isn't it amazing A.I can write a music sequencer like this with a key editor and a virtual drummer. Just amazing. It's exciting building something like this. The possibilities and things I don't like about other sequencers. Mainly complexity gets in the way...

Pixelblip @pixelblip.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Look how amazing A.I. is I've been mucking around developing a music sequencer today. It's very simple with soundfonts and it has a virtual drummer in it. I wanted something light with no popup windows. It's sounding really great. This is designed in Love 2d. I really like Love 2d and Lua

Man I'm so done with electric bikes. They are wonderful inventions until you get a puncture. What do you do? You can't leave them there if you own one. So you have to walk back home. Not enough people who buy one even consider this might. happen or what they will do. It really sucks pushing a flat

I shall definitely be buying one of these from Polyend. For as long as I can remember no one has solved this issue of a midi keyboard and qwerty combined. I dont have room for both. Creative labs used to do one and we even had the piano overlay for the c64 - remember that? Sign me up Polyend

I love A.I and VR / Aframe. They are a perfect combination. They let you build anything you can think of. Exciting! It's a long way from my early VRML experiments - I remember all the milestones. I built a desert island with lens flares using google cardboard. People at work remember me showing them

I make everything I do on a 2013 Mac Pro. Everything It's nice to own the latest and greatest but you don't need it. Sure it would be nice to have a fast M6 mac but it's not how big it is (the price) - it's what you do with it!

Apple's new mac mini is so impressive with a 2nm chip. 2nm! What are they going to do next? Quantum? It's funny with all this amazing engineering we are lumbered with 256gb of storage. 256gb! I can't even cope with 1TB let alone that. You will really regret that even if you try to squeeze OSX on it

That Cyberpunk Commodore 77 is interesting. I think they missed a trick with that black keyboard though. Still it's nice to see someone taking a risk with a grubby looking cyberpunk computer. At least you won't have to clean it I liked that yellow Atari Pacman 2600. I still want one.....
