@qrs you've got a catchy name and a logo, but as per current infosec practice you're still going to need a low-fi theme track and a slick website with an indie game easter egg
a throwaway comment earlier led to me making this and i'm not gonna get into it
in japan theres this island called Computer Island where theres hundreds of computers living there, semi-feral computers, but you can pet them because they're fed twice per day
@qrs my dream version of this has a constantly rotating loop and a 9 LED array to produce transitory glowing paper tape
@phooky sixteen purple/uv LEDs and a hand pulled length of 5cm wide glow in the dark tape. I need to build the tape mechanism and figure out the interactivity for the upcoming show.
I love this weird typographical illustration for this 1998 xerox patent https://patents.google.com/patent/US6230170B1/en "Spatial morphing of text to accommodate annotations"
@phryk don't mess with my solvespace/SketchUp otp

The wikipedia article for Cracklin' Oat Bran has an unexpected illustration

@aparrish X reacts to Y is the video form of the hot take, and the hot take is the building block of the modern social web, so good luck
The static has taken form, and it is now a ghost that speaks in a code I cannot begin to understand.
Though this certainly isn't the first time somebody has used UVB-76 to broadcast words, it's rare. It always raises my hackles whenever it happens; somebody is tearing holes in my security blanket, and I don't like it.
@scanlime@mastodon.social on the fence: do I start selling smartphone diapers on Etsy right away or hold out for the Depends co-branding
Current vibes
@qrs that was the finest role for one of his eyeballs, anyway.
@saper @ardgedee It's very similar to this system/370 backplane-- I think you've nailed it!

@phooky @ardgedee any solutions? Maybe something to build CPUs using technology similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Solid_Logic_Technology ?
