Tiny Memex guts:

I'm making videos about the work and posting them to GooTube. Total newb stuff, but I'm having fun.

Progress on the Twenty Tiny Memex by 2022 project is slow but steady. I made a "size and shape" model to figure out whether I like how it feels. Now I'm back in CAD working on the input and display electronics assemblies.

Yep. Still making stuff.

I had a fun day in the shop getting everything dialed in to make a polishing tool for wearable lenses.

Honestly, I'm still tired from last Tuesday.

The Transmutable Swan is now OSHWA certified to be genuine open hardware; my first project to join that prestigious company but certainly not the last.

A person lashed out at me on birdsite for posting job openings (at a co where I don't work) for senior roles for which (as a newly minted CS BS) they aren't qualified. Dog speed, angry young spaceman.

Rapid prototyping

What a time to be timing attacked.

It's Monday which means that it's once again time to put out the call for news items for tomorrow's W3C Immersive Web Weekly: 📯

Did you see a neat new WebXR experience?

Did something big happen that needs coverage?

Reply with links and I'll take a look!

Hey immersive web folks,

Running a one-day event about all of WebXR development is somewhat impossible because there's so much going on.

I'm hosting an open town hall *this Sunday* to discuss which topics and voices should to be heard in the WebXR Developer Summit on May 25th.

You might think from this screenshot that I've drawn even a single shape in this CAD file, but no. I'm just randomly moving around cells in a spreadsheet as a form of procrasta-planning.

I just pushed "publish" on issue 48 of the Immersive Web Weekly. I usually tweet out several topics that I covered in an issue but this week can be summed up as "🎉 OMG A Fully FOSS Stack 🎉" while imaging a gif of myself dancing on clouds.

The RealTime Conference happens today and for two more days. Tickets are free and there are *many* sessions that are relevant to the #widerweb. Sadly, I scanned the speakers' page and recognized nobody who works directly on web standards. 🤦‍♀️

Whelp, I tweeted about my next project (Augs by Transmutable tm) and now I feel like I'm livestreaming my underwear drawer and claiming to have superpowers. #anxiety #perfectionism
