Das ist überraschend gut gelungen.

Bitframes
Bitframes is a generative art project by Matt DesLauriers. Inspired by punched cards and early computer art
Matt coded this open source artwork in 32 bytes of data. After randomly generating a piece you can ”mint it to the blockchain“. I don't really care about this part, but the graphics are surprisingly varied and beautiful! I wish I could download the graphics in high resolution.

This is a summary curation of prior posts of mine on why post, what to post, and how to post, as well as some bits I wrote on the #IndieWeb wiki. This post assumes you already have a blog — if you don’t have one and wonder why you should, that’s a different blog post.If you h...
~3 weeks ago I posted some thoughts¹ about the US #election. Upon more reflection, more thoughts and some updates.~50 days until many #changes that will harm many, disrupt many more. Some changes and impacts will be immediate, some in days to weeks, mostly predictable, and so...

Have been doing a lot of different things lately. 3D printing, organizational stuff, and an unexpected side trip to Ireland for work with an interesting new project to work on there. Makes me fear I’m neglecting my website. So many things I want to do here and with the code that powers it.

I started experimenting with the ActivityPub Plugin in Wordpress. So I currently have TWO blogs, the one you are reading here, running on github.com/knot-system and a Wordpress blog over at social.tilman.me.
Please pardon the mess …
🎬 My Old Ass
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
One of those watches that I didn’t plan to join. But then Aubrey Plaza appeared as the hallucination old ass of the teenage protagonist’s younger self to tell her about what’s about to come, while she was in the woods with friends taking mushrooms. Unfortunately this didn’t continue as exciting. It’s pretty much a love story. Not really bad, but relatively conventional, which I found a little disappointing given that surprising beginning.
🎬 Blink Twice
I liked how this looked. And I think the story had potential. But towards the end it gets more and more bonkers and I’m less and less convinced by plot and performances. Was ok.

John Provencher, independent artist and image-maker based in New York City. He is very deep into generative graphics, creative coding and glitchy digital aesthetics. His website is equally great: Definitely not easy to navigate first, but the graphics are so interesting that I dug along until I understood it. You can switch between two modes by clicking on the upper left box. One mode shows text info and an overview of the graphics, the other all graphics in a slideshow where you navigate by clicking anywhere left or right. It works beautifully, even on mobile.

Für den Discord des Paperback-Podcasts (sehr empfehlenswert übrigens, wenn man Interesse an Comics hat und Input für Lesenswertes braucht) ein kurzes Review des neuen Comics von Marc-Uwe Kling geschrieben. Und nachdem ich eigentlich alles Längere, was ich ins Netz schreibe, auch auf meiner eigenen Webseite haben will - voila:
