iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Day something of whatever: Poking the algorithms with an RGB stick. This mirror wall at @ccslaughterspdx.bsky.social Constantly has me captivated looking into infinity. Thanks for letting a weird fox twirl rainbow sticks on your dance floor. <3 #furry #fursuiting #edm #rave #flowarts

What's worth more to the bsky algo? Short form? Long form? Let's poke the algorithms with a big RGB rainbow stick. If this is 'The Matrix' timeline, then maybe we just need to show the machines what it is to be human. Or, y'know, plug me in to the reality where corporate is not extracting souls.

In case anyone has been wondering. Bit of a hectic year, but an interesting journey. Pieces are still in engineering testing phases and given some recent durability and cost concerns, I need to upgrade the materials before I feel comfortable with the quality. New printer. Soon™ <3 -Z

🎵 Eskei8 - To the Sky I started practicing less than a month ago. There's a variety show at a local venue for furry night. It brought me back to originally wanting to do dance comp stuff at cons but I never got into it. I have a performance in mind for the next variety show at least. Friday. <3

"Hey Zetta, what have you been doing?" Oh, you know ... I've been around ... Apparently I decided to become a cryptid and dance in the streets.

Software update and repaired the microphone on the staff build. The LED strip wraps around like a chainsaw now instead of parallel strips. Bonus Ruby foot. My arm was apparently tasty. <3

Don't mind me, I'm just poking the algorithms to see what they do. <3

Zetta @zbit.barkitup.dog · 18/07/2026

oh yeah, I turned the sabers into a staff model. Saves on a controller and I'm really happy how the light diffusion turned out with the increased segment diameter. Next upgrade is a bigger 3d printer to make things in less pieces and polycarbonate versus current tough+/PETG builds. Flush button!

Close up of handle with flush button offset to one end. Staff is lit with the same ZettaLights controller as all my other builds.

Staff - lit in rainbow mode. Room lights on to see all parts.

V2 build 1 - birthday gift Refined the whole build to print on an a1 mini. Durability drop tested, swing tested, twirl tested. Lighter, hollow tough+ blades or heavier (for durability) transparent PETG (in production) Same custom Arduino based SAMD21 PCB

V2 is done! (Internally I'm calling it v2.1 'cause revisions and fixes on the base v2 redesign overall)

Not exactly disappeared. Still working on things. Still working on my self. Engineering v2 of the saber con prop from #furlandia Coupler tube is going to get a different version already. A little too thicc, this one is.

Prototype v2 saber design.
Separate sabers joined with a coupler for double blade mode.
Pictured separate.
(Same platform as other LED gear, some code modifications)

I tend to view everything as programming. In that sense, we're not so different from the machines. Yet agency and free will live in the space where we fight our programming.

the end of the world came. It came, not with guns, nor explosions, but the unrestricted and unchecked spread of a synthetic organism. You'd be forgiven thinking that I mean the advent of AI, yet there is an even older artificial entity that humans created long before computer systems. Society.exe

Pentagon warned Anthropic it could lose contracts or be labeled a “supply chain risk” if it doesn’t accept broader military AI terms. CEO says the terms didn’t adequately restrict potential use in autonomous weapons or mass surveillance. This is a real-world stress test for ethical AI governance.

I'm walking the razor's edge. Between living and observing. Architecting and engineering. Want and need. Walking forward. Moving forward as a better version of myself each day. Looking back. Moving forward whilst walking backwards to see what lies behind. Always watching. Always moving.

16 rolls. 300 LEDs per roll. Cut in half for 32 strips of 150. These are all going on the ceiling to be controlled by a single custom controller. Soon!

Box of LED strips shipment.
Plan to stick 4800 LEDs on the ceiling to make a rave room in the living room.

Going to MFF this weekend? Keep an eye out for Zetta in 1 of 3 styles of harness. Stop him for a hug! Ask questions! Check out the gear! Ask him about the (soon to be) 4800 LEDs on his living room ceiling that will run off the same hardware he is carrying around!
