Yesterday I made a “plaything” for Igarashi et al.’s excellent SIGGRAPH 2005 paper, As-Rigid-As-Possible Shape Manipulation! Works with a mouse, but it’s much more fun with multi-touch on an iPad. Link below 👇

Everyone’s seen the Sketchpad demo. Few understand how it actually works. I reimplemented Sketchpad from scratch, and I’m making short videos that recreate Sutherland’s demos and explain how they work. The first 8 are up — from drawing a line to the famous rivet. Link below 👇

Every woman that I know in tech has similar stories. I do, my partner does, my friends, and so on. Anecdotally, that it's so pervasive is often cited as a main reason for leaving the industry

@feelingof.london If you wanna know why it’s so special, they renamed it from future of code to feeling of compute and that’s all you need to know to know!

I LOVE this talk

Nearly every general-purpose programming language is Turing complete. So ask not what you can do with a language, but what a language makes worth the effort. A short note on "effective expressiveness": www.inkandswitch.com/malleable-so...

This week in Livelymerge, Dan Ingalls gives us a tour of Morphic: the scene graph, halos, text editing, and programming tools of the live, malleable kernel that lives inside an Automerge document.

I'm very lucky to do such fun computing every day with such great people 🌱 please watch and enjoy!

We put a live programming system's entire heap inside an Automerge document — every object, class, method shared + persistent. It all worked, but it was sloooow. New lab note with Dan Ingalls and @pvh.ca on the optimizations that made Livelymerge 64× faster: www.inkandswitch.com/livelymerge/...

Berlin is great

@chee.party and @mimi.computer sharing the joy of computing with us at @localfirstconf.com

another one! this is Mavis and she is a Stoll machine

“About half his texts were punctuated with a question about my thoughts and feelings. I came, finally, to understand where men are coming from. I didn’t want to talk about my feelings.” Lauren Oyler procures an AI boyfriend.

when i was at school, we had 5 headteachers in 7 years. it's really giving deja vu rn

www.inkandswitch.com/tangents/art... hey, have you read this? :))

I read this and it was like seeing color for the first time.

i saw a man on the lizzy line yesterday listening to music on a 3rd gen iPod, and I was so jealous i think the tech future that i want might be the past

feeling of computing • london • may 2026

unforeseen *benefits* include: - overhearing the neighbours' kids presenting a pretend tv show about their bug hotel (consider my faith in humanity restored) - making friends with neighbour's puppy over the wall - vitamin D

unforeseen issues now include: - accidentally squishing ant into keyboard - neighbours doing loud building work - spine health

It’s really that simple. Lovely talk from Mimi at Feeling of Computing last night.

oh no, it happened again :))

no lefties allowed

now this is a Norman door if i ever did see one

SOMEONE SHOW A CUNTY CYBERDECK AT FoC PLEASE luma.com/iwd2uv4n

@chee.party s write up on patchwork is so cute 😍 i wanna come work with yall and make patchwork good! 😅

me toooo!

FYI you can install Merlin Bird ID on Mac too! :)) It even sends little notifications if it hears a new birb 🐥🎶

✨ happy birthday Ink & Switch! ✨ I had the best time making letters! thanks @spiralganglion.com @seaofclouds.com <3

Ink & Switch is ten years old this month! We made you a card to celebrate. inkandswitch.com

well would you look at that

inspired by the tube strikes in london atm, I started making a thing: isthetubefucked.uk

i want to sit outside AND work on the computer, is that too much to ask?

we could ski together mimireyburn.com/ski

i made this animation 6 years ago and i think it's pretty cute

Software should be fun, actually

well this is excellent news :))

Lab Day will not be purely filled with talks - but also show live demos, creative experiments, and community projects. A collaborative day that’s part unconference, part showcase, and shaped by the ideas that animate our community. Lab Day is included in your ticket localfirstconf.com

please consider donating to help keep these independent community events going! 🌸✨

free open source software needs fewer engineers and more designers and product people

i think there's a knitting machine in my future

come join us again @feelingof.london for demos and good vibes! 😌💚

London FoC is back! Presented my work on data ethnographies, space + place and mapping, alongside a host of demos exploring HCI classics, malleable software and permacomputing. Lots of lively discussion all around. Thanks @chee.party @todepond.com @mimireyburn.bsky.social for being awesome hosts.

Always a pleasure to hang out with the FoC London crowd, had lots of lovely conversations about this demo and a million other things too. Thanks @chee.party @mimireyburn.bsky.social @todepond.com for hosting, looking forward to the next one!!

It felt unreasonably good saying that Feeling of Computing was sponsored by Feeling of Computing! Thank you @spiralganglion.com @jimmyhmiller.bsky.social Join the patreon at feelingoff.com, join the slack, listen to the podcast, come to the next FoC London 💚
