Great to find old artwork on a usb pen. I sure did a lot of art with our program. Hopefully more in the future.....

Just found a BBC micro design I did. I think I was trying to imagine it for the 50th. Quite a funky teletext design

I just bought one of those M VAVE FM synth things for 40 quid. Someone has just released firmware for it that turns it into a sampler or subtractive synth. Who would have thought we could do all of this for 40 quid. A.I is changing everything..people writing new experimental firmware..interesting!

I've managed to get an old Windows Mixed Reality VR headset working on a Mac with Quest controllers working. The Quest feeds the controller info back to Google Chrome running this synth I created it. A miracle! The whole thing runs on a local web server. It's very Heath-Robinson and electrickery!

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!

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 🤣🤣🤣

Look at this amazing spaceship A.I built for me in VR. I love the light blooms and RGB glitch. I might do a music video soon for it or even get A.I to do one

I just made the VR version of The City of Domes from Logan's run . You can also open it on your computer and move around with WASD: logans-run-cityof-domes-vr.vercel.app www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HJM...

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.

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

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

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.....

I've been experimenting with a new synth I designed. You can control it with your hands using Open CV ( see my had in the bottom right corner). It's very interesting this. To stop patch cables getting put in the wrong place I implemented the key Z to grab or place them and to action moving a knob

That Amiga 1200 is tempting. £169! Even though it's FPGA but I'm no FPGA snob To me it's the feel of the keys and the mouse - and of course - Deluxe Paint V. Me wants! Where is our new BBC micro eh!

Just when you thought the BBC Micro had been pushed to it's out limits.....here comes another Zarch has been rewritten for the beeb. This is most impressive indeed. Like some other things in life the second time is even better than the first. Hats off to Angus! bbcmicro.co.uk/jsbeeb/play....

Drawing people during an eclipse is more interesting that the eclipse. Human nature. Also the crows were completely silent. My little corner of the world where I sit every evening was suddenly invaded with thousands of people.

This is just incredible. A.I is getting amazing! A year ago I tried to reverse engineer a Euclid file on the Acorn Archimedes. It couldn't even convert the jumbo jet example properly. A year later - Grok ( not the best engine as well ) has reversed engineered Euclid, Arclight - all from the ADF!!

Back in 1985 I wished and wished my favourite art program AMX Super Art for the BBC Micro was able to work in Mode 2 (8 colours). Oh how I wanted that and dreamt of it. And dreamt. And dreamt. Well..............😀 Are you out there Joe Lavery?
