An awesome piece of hardware meets a terrible unboxing video! The TinyNES (Tiny Nostalgia Evocation Square) is an awesome open hardware version of the Nintendo Entertainment System and Famicom using the original 6502 chips! https://www.crowdsupply.com/tall-dog-electronics/tinynes

We (FOSS & Crafts, ie Morgan and Christine Lemmer-Webber) helped with the crowdfunding campaign for this lovely device. https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/39-tinynes.html

Unfortunately, Christine is the worst person to unbox anything and Morgan is the worst person to get nice looking angles so this video does NOT work out well... but it does end up being funny in how badly it goes.

A talk I gave at http://mug.org about the the tech we're building at https://spritely.institute and also a long demonstration of building something on top of the Guile version of Spritely Goblins live. Including some hacking on the Guile Scheme port of Terminal Phase!

I actually had only planned on the first part of this talk, I didn't realize this was two hours! So there's a lot of improv, and at one point in the middleish things get screwed up because of a module path issue. However things pick up from there and once I show off how to implement time travel and it works the talk really takes off towards the end.

Want to unlock the full power of Lisp/Scheme but don't know where to start? In one hour we'll go from NO background to Scheme written in Scheme!

This is the video tutorial version of A Scheme Primer, as published by the Spritely Institute.

We go from 0 prior Scheme experience to Scheme programmed in Scheme in about an hour! Hold onto your seat!

This was originally presented at the Hack and Craft usergroup / crafting circle of FOSS & Crafts on 2022-07-16!

The whole album is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bGU_Ib0Eog

It was fun making this video. Will I regret posting it? Hm...

For our 13th wedding anniversary, I commissioned the amazing Sophie Jantak to make some portraits of our cats! This is the recording of when I first revealed it to my wife, Morgan! Done in Blender and Grease Pencil!

We've released the .blend of this file as CC BY-SA 4.0 (so is this video, but YouTube only lets you select CC BY...). It's pretty neat, poke around! https://dustycloud.org/gfx/goodies/sophie-jantak-anniversary-cats.blend

Sophie did an awesome job! You can commission her yourself: https://www.sophiejantak.com/pet-commissions

Also if you aren't watching her amazing videos WHY NOT?! https://www.youtube.com/c/SophieJantak

PS: This was totally unscripted so it gets pretty rambly! 😃

Talk given at FOSDEM 2021 about Spritely Goblins. Spritely Goblins is a transactional, distributed programming environment, designed to be safe to use in mutually suspicious networks.

This one talks a bit about the history of Spritely Goblins from a programming language perspective, then goes on to talk about how the ideas can apply to the Guile and Guix communities especially, as well as in-progress work to collaborate with Agoric folks.

A talk I gave at RacketCon 2020 on Spritely Goblins... includes a live game programming example extending Terminal Phase!
