I recently bought a Polaroid camera.

I spoke recently on my podcast about making some Quake maps. Well, here’s my very first map! Read on!

Following hot on the heels of my previous post about cassette tapes, I’ve been working hard on producing more music with them.

I recently bought myself an old audio cassette player; a PYE D6600 35P Automatic Data Recorder. This model is from the early 1980s (1981 to be precise I think) and it was intended for use with home computers and for recording spoken words. The model was produced by Phillips and Magnavox too, and is pretty much identical across all three manufacturers as a kind of attempt at standardisation. Phillips’ incarnations of the MSX home computer standard were often built in a way that made it easy to connect.

I did a bunch of stuff today. But for some reason, I’m mostly just quietly proud of this 1-bit-per-pixel PNG of a monster energy can I made. It just looks kind of inviting - which is how I feel about pretty much all 1bpp images. I don’t know why, but dithered black and white images just make me feel welcome.
