i'm still making lots of small changes/improvements to ktistec: upgrading dependencies, fixing bugs, and cleaning up. i'm laying the foundation for improvements to the experience of reading posts on your ktistec instance—a reactive user interface with streaming updates/notifications, the ability to follow arbitrary collections of objects, and a timeline that can flexibly highlight content you find interesting (vs. displaying posts in chronological order). underpinning all of this is a flexible, scriptable, rule-based language for customizing the experience.

it would be nice to have a way to federate users around topics or areas of interest, without having to join a specific server. it would make it easier for people to discover each other based on interests, regardless of the server they join. federated interests...?

the williamsburg bridge is still my favorite…

today was my second attempt to conquer the new york metropolitan museum of art—egyptian antiquities wing. the previous attempt met with failure due to insufficient provisions. i'm happy to report that i was successful, having viewed relics of 20+ dynasties. tomorrow i start on medieval arms and armor.

dragon con is over and i'm heading home. i spent much of my time in maker panels this year. attached is a picture of a drone built on a frame made from badminton rackets!

the team that built this was composed of grade school students!

#dragoncon

this year for dragon con i printed a legion of little star wars inspired heads/beads to share/hide during the con. it's part of the tradition of swag n seek.

it doesn’t quite work during the day but I think this will be quite creepy at night… especially with the right mood lighting… and sound effects…
