We did some WILD EXPERIMENTATION today using CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY to print on plastic.

The results are so much better than expected. There's still a lot of work that we'll need to do to get this to a production standard, but we should be able to use these techniques to add high quality colored details to our toys in short order.

Two of our toys on a desk corner. They're pressed into makeshift sculpy jigs. They have pops of color across their surface, some of them are even in the locations we wanted them to be. Alignment was almost correct, but the details are all slightly skewed. A gameboy color cartridge with the Jupiter's Ghost cartridge art printed directly onto the cartridge, rather than printed on a sticker. some letters printed directly onto a white action figure torso. It says E FP TOZ LPED PECFD. Each row is smaller than the previous row. 

This is to showcase how small we can print the details.

내가 아직 블스에는 이 말 안한거 같은데 여러분. 여러분의 생각은 이 세상의 보편적인 지식 및 모두 동의하는 상식이 아닙니다. 여러분이 아는걸 '당연한 논리'인 걸로 생각하고 남을 제단하려고 드시면 그게 어떤 의미가 되는지 아십니까? 당신이 이 세상의 '기초값'이 될 경우, 당신이 한 모든 노력이 '당연히' 해야하는 것일 뿐. '특별하진 않다.'가 되버립니다. 그러니 나의 지식 및 행동, 노력을 "이게 당연한거지."라는 식으로 자신을 세상의 기초값 취급하지 마십쇼. 나의 지식은 나의 노력의 산물. 당연한게 아닙니다.

US cardinal slams ‘sickening’ White House war montage video

An American cardinal close to Pope Leo XIV has described a White House video montage mixing Hollywood film clips with real footage of strikes on Iran as “horrifying” and “sickening”.

“A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game – it’s sickening,” Cardinal Blase Cupich said in a statement on the diocese’s website.

Today I’m celebrating the reproductive success of New Zealand’s kākāpōs (Strigops habroptilus). The gorgeously goofy flightless parrots are caring for more than 240 eggs this year in response to a bumper crop of berries from the rimu tree (Dacrydium cupressinum). Kākāpō mating is triggered by an abundant rimu ‘mast’ year, and this is the first since 2022. There were only 236 kākāpōs at the start of the year, so every chick that survives will be very welcome.

Bombed Iranian girls school had vivid website and years-long online presence

The Shajareh Tayyebeh School was adjacent to an Iranian military compound and was among at least seven buildings struck February 28. Its online presence included a local business listing and a website that showed girls at work and play. Iranian officials have said students made up most of the 175 people killed that day in Minab.

去年の3月11日はTwitterが大規模障害でずっと動いてなかったので「東日本大震災で災害インフラとしての可能性を見いだされたSNSが同じ3月11日に完全にダウンしている、こんな皮肉すぎることあるんだ」と思っていた

インターネットが民生に普及し始めたころにインターネットを使い始めたぼくやぼくの友人たちが夢見たインターネット文化ってこんなものじゃなかったよ。言葉を尽くして、相互に理解を可能にする、「わかりあう願いをつなぐ」ものだった。もうこんなの、「わかりあう願いをどれだけ効率的に分断してインプレッションを稼ぐか」のゲームじゃん。インターネットを夢見た形にしてあげられなかったのは、いまのインターネットを作っている人間たち、つまりぼくたちだ。ぼくをふくめて人間が悪い。どうしてこうなってしまったんだろう。資本主義とインターネットと生成AIは、混ざってはいけないものだったような気がする。絶望感がある

インターネット技術がまだまだひとを幸せにできることは信じているから、これからもそこにコミットしていこうと思う。巨大な感情交換プラットフォームを作ることではないしカスの広告を出して責任の押し付け合いをすることでもない形で、インターネット技術で人間をちゃんと幸せにしていく贖罪をしていきたいですわね
