A photo of a die bonded to a circuit board using many many separate little bonding wires
A photo of four uh.... are those teletubbies? The caption under the photo reads: "Four young PhD students."
Screenshot of a desktop app called Shindig. The app is showing a page called settings with a bunch of boring form controls in there. The cool part honestly is the logo at the top, which looks like a burger on a grill that's on fire.
The orb pondering meme image of a wizard staring at a glowing blue ball. Sounds familiar, eh?
A photo of the assembled ploopy nano trackball sitting on my desk next to a (much) older logitech marble mouse. The ploopy ball has a comforting blue glow like some kind of wizard orb. The marble mouse is just shiny red: no glow, and no suggestion of eldrich magicks.
A photo of my old soldering station set up on my wood desk along with the ploopy mainboard wedged into a stickvise with components placed, secured, and ready for soldering.
A photo of the building and sign for the New York Structural Biology Center
A Corsi-Rosenthal-like box sits on a dresser. The white window mount dual-fan unit sits atop a rectangular box in matching size with commodity furnace-style air filters on two of the long sides. Only one filter can be seen from this angle though. Duct tape permeates the design.
A screenshot of an early draft of documentation for the SmolWeb protocol. The page shows an overview image of the protocol consisting of Guests, Hosts, and a Beacon Server. The Host is depicted as a potato with a wifi antenna perched on top.
A screenshot from the Firefox "Privacy & Security" settings page showing "Website Advertising Preferences" with a checked-by-default option to "Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement". The description beneath reads "This helps sites understand how their ads perform without collecting data about you" with a link to "Learn More" that I'll copy into the next skeet.
A Smol globe drawn in a cartoon style with thick black strokes and a cute, if somewhat silly, face.
A screenshot of the SmolWeb server dashboard showing a list of connected hosts. The dashboard has buttons to add new hosts and edit or disconnect existing hosts.
Screenshot of a web browser extension called Burger Identities. The tagline reads "Portable Identities for the Internet." The screenshot shows a popup window that allows you to share your identity with an app called "ext:burger-test-app@cuchaz". No identity is shared yet, but an identity called "Jeff" is selected.
