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 👇

One of the great all-time landmarks of computer music is getting much-deserved preservation and recreation effort, with Laurie Spiegel herself teaming up with Eventide. Here's some history, some gorgeous recent(!) uses of the software, and why this is insanely awesome.

Laurie Spiegel creates something unlike any software available at the time -- an "intelligent," algorithmic composer you can play as an instrument, for Mac, Amiga, and Atari ST. You're at N...

Excited to announce the official launch of our online book, WebAssembly from the Ground Up! 🎉 It's the book we wish we'd had 3 years ago. No messing with tools and frameworks. It's a hands-on guide to the core of Wasm: the instruction set and module format. Link below. 👇

The Ink team at Ink & Switch is starting something new — publishing our internal lab notes. These are (mostly) unedited, with all our puzzling and musing and prototypes unfiltered. Take a peek: inkandswitch.com/ink/notes/

inkandswitch.cominkandswitch.comWe’ve begun publishing the internal research notes we write within the lab. Some of these newly published notes come from our archives of past projects, others are being freshly written about our latest work. Be aware that these are notes we write for ourselves. Sometimes they’ll mention a term or name that you won’t be familiar with. Many notes link to other notes that aren’t public (yet?). If you’re interested in our quest to build a dynamic notebook with programmable ink, or are working on something similar yourself, there’ll be lots to see and learn here.

My new favourite word

Max Kreminski@maxkreminski.bsky.social

been looking for a name for this concept for ages! “endocept”: the vague, pre-articulate sense of vision that guides creation a core difficulty of creativity support tool design is that in early-stage creativity it’s easy to accidentally displace the endocept creativity.netslova.ru/Endocept.html

“Wrap your tool in a game, make it fun to play with, and shield players from the kind of people who enjoy holding others to strict standards of Excellence. Present your creation as an Excellence-Free Zone, a safe space for glorious trainwrecks.” mkremins.github.io/blog/creativ...

mkremins.github.ioCreative tools for non-creatorsI keep coming back to the idea of tools that unlock creativity in people who don’t ordinarily think of themselves as creative. Yesterday, some of my scattered thoughts on the subject spontaneously cry...

One of my old-fav 3D modelling tools — Modo — just died. But, the company is giving everyone a free 10-year license! These production-quality 3D modelling tools have some of the most complex GUIs in existence. Every one is unique, a Galapagos Island of HCI. (link in next skeet)
