obviously, i have no clue what io will introduce, but i truly believe that iphone era is closing and we'll be using user-programmable (plain speech) dinguses that we mostly talk to

i designed Unbound as an evolving framework for integrating digital and analog note-taking. it’s an exploration of how we can make the processes of capturing, searching, and exploring knowledge more flexible and enjoyableβ€”regardless of the digital or analog domain and brands/software.

if you fall into this super-non-specific venn diagram of 3d printing, film photography, large projects, bulk rolling of 40 canisters of film in one go, then you might find this film organization and storage case interesting.

just dropped dispatch 10 of The FlΓ’neur. this one’s about gearβ€”why we obsess, why it matters, and why sometimes it really doesn’t. introducing the β€œgear-freeze.” photos from stepantsminda, georgia, sep 2024. ttvl.co/flaneur/010/

the summaries are ai-assisted, but heavily edited. i rely on them to remember what the hell i actually did.

if you have memory like a sieve, this kind of journaling might help. it’s helped me a lot.

since 2019 i’ve kept a daily journal.
a few months ago i started turning them into monthly recapsβ€”removing private stuff, adding context, then publishing.

🧡 it’s become a kind of therapy.
march recap is up: ttvl.co/log/2025/03/

02.04.2025 02:14 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

march included:
β€” finished the darkroom
β€” started designing a hybrid 6x9 camera
β€” announced project roam
β€” too many hours scanning negatives
β€” too many sneezes

a blur, until i reviewed it.

bambu lab h2d, mmm… (i don't care about laserciutter at all, having dual extrusion large 3d "it just works"printer must be nice.)

using cursor's composer in agent mode feels like being a senior developer managing one extremely up-to-date but inexperienced intern.

i can't imagine how hard it must be to find a job as a junior web developer these days β€” i have not done web work in a decade and can implement almost anything using cursor and composer in agent mode.

flying at ungodly hours from tbilisi airport remains my least favorite. however, it does offer stunning sunrises upon landing. (athens, ath)
