Faceted Flight left Early Access ten years after it went on Steam. It has multiplayer and a map editor now, runs in a browser and on phones, and I'm making it open source.

I wondered what a map of game influences would look like, and then almost twenty years went by with nothing happening, because I had the idea and no way to build it.

Putting the backyard code on GitHub meant taking my own name out of it first, and my first attempt at that looked like it had worked and hadn't. Force-pushing a rewritten history does not clear the refs GitHub keeps from old pull requests.

On one card, half of what the trail camera caught was furniture. The automatic filter finds some of it by watching what never moves, and I draw boxes around the rest by hand.

An honest list of what's still broken or unsolved on Six Degrees. Three of them are engineering problems. The fourth one is me.

We spent months looking for something on a raccoon that would hold still enough to identify it by. The tail, the mask, the walk, the size, the hour it shows up. Then I looked up how the professionals do it.

I thought I caught a glimpse of Miss B going past the door, but she was so fast I was not sure I had seen anything. Being able to go and check is the thing this whole rig is for.

PolyFish looks like a peaceful little ocean. It started as beer yeast that behaved unnervingly like the zombies from a game I'd worked on.

Find your lost phone anywhere in the house with Gleb Shalimov’s handheld, offline ESP32-S3 signal tracker.

Sixty-four LEDs in a grid still look like sixty-four LEDs. What fixed it was a 3D printed grid with a wall around every light, and there is no code in it anywhere.

I had a pile of dead vapes, a hot air station I barely knew how to use, and no components yet. One of them came apart into a practice board, a screw I did not see, and a microphone I probably killed.

The adults had been visiting one at a time for weeks, and then they started bringing kids. Three mothers, nine kits, and we told the software not to put a name on any of them.

Comprehensive technical guide to the open-source Flock-You project for detecting Flock Safety ALPR cameras using ESP32-based hardware. Includes setup instructions, firmware details, and purchasing opt...

This didn't get built with tidy daily discipline. It got built in bursts, around a job and a long stretch of being sick, so I picked tools that could survive me disappearing for two weeks.

The underwater light was the most frustrating part of PolyFish. I didn't know how to program it, and I didn't have a good way of communicating what was wrong.

My kid was enamored with a lil LED tile in the Maker Faire dark room. In the two seconds I got with it myself, I had the thought: I bet I can make something like that.
