Love it!
Let's Dance! A quick sketch with @p5xjs and the Gemini API The prompt starts like so... "We are both dancers, I'm the 🟦 puck and you're the 🟥. We are trying to convey mutual love and respect in our dance..." I really like the third turn at the end, sort of sweet

Having a blast watching @technology_greg tweeting from @recursecenter today!
... and now, a word from our take over-er, aka me aka Greg: what is the Recurse Center..? it is the most inspiring place I’ve ever attended. it has every single best trait from hackathons, meetups, conferences, maker labs, hacker spaces, r&d labs, art studios and writer’s room.

folks at the @recursecenter wanted to create virtual machines to play around, so we bought a $200 computer and installed proxmox on it and wrote a bunch of glue for it today, it's glorious. you can start/stop/run hundreds of VMs for free.

Getting going and building gets you most of the way to something great. Edison wasn't wrong when he pointed out that most things are 99 percent perspiration!
You can build something great Everyone who’s ever done something great has at least two things in common: they started, and they didn’t quit when things got hard. This goes for any kind of work, including programming. 1/2

The Momobox is a DIY MP3 player for a toddler! It’s made with a Raspberry Pi and 3D printed components, and runs on CircuitPython. Blair is building it for his daughter, with special Momies — figurines that play different songs when you put them on the box with a magnet.
