“I get it. We all want easy. But that’s the devil talking, because the reality is that the ‘easy’ life is a mirage. People who choose easy end up living a much harder, less joyful life.”

Art and Invention

I have a soft spot for wacky and fun inventions, and this one is right up there.
Watch This Guy’s Interactive Wooden Pixel Machine Make Art in Real Time
Sitting in my office in NYC, I sent a CNC machine in a guy’s workshop in Wisconsin a 40 by 25 pixel drawing and watched it flip hand painted wooden blocks across a grid, one by one, until the glorious smiling 404 Media logo appeared—then watched it slowly erase, like a giant Etch A Sketch, moving on to the next drawing.
For more on the why and the how and the seriously?, see I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display.
Want to play (and have a Bluesky account)? Vist kilopixel and submit your art!

Have a few minutes to let your inner child run free?
Perhaps you have fond memories of staring up at the sky during summer break, letting clouds drift across your subconscious until “Look! An elephant! An pterodactyl! Jabba the Hutt!”
If so, this site might be just the thing for you:

Magical Things
Posted in Entertainment, Other, Science!, tagged #365Ways, #365Ways2025, cool facts, creativity, Indiana Jones, inspiration, NASA, Thoughts on August 2, 2025| Leave a Comment »
I enjoy the fact that there is always something new to learn. Some things are big, like the latest on asteroid deflection from NASA’s DART program, and some are small, like the fact that Dan Aykroyd had a cameo in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. (Did you know that? I didn’t, until last night when I did a double take and said, “Wait, the guy with the mustache and the British accent. Was that Dan Aykroyd?” It was!)
Of global importance or not, these facts are all interesting reminders that there is always something new around the corner, if you keep looking.
And that, I think, is magic.
