The Old Blog

Where it all started — years of trying unique hobbies and writing about them: butcherblock shelves, a backyard catio, biking to work for a month, blizzard time-lapses, and more. Read the archives →

The workbench

Everything Else

New experiments land here first — prototypes, one-off tools, and whatever hobby comes next. Check back anytime.

Glossa Mechani — a programming language written by my friend cptclvtch, where a program can rewrite itself while it runs. His interpreter, carried over to run in your browser and shared in his memory.

More from his code: a goal planner that works out a character’s steps on its own, and a collision lab built on his physics engine, and a node planner for mapping ideas as boxes and arrows.

Everything here is made for the love of making it. If something helped you, you can support the hobbies:
