Hello! I'm a maker, LED enthusiast, electronic artist, software developer, 3D printer, laser cutter, and hardware tinkerer.

I sell and share what I make as Evil Genius Labs: evilgeniuslabs.org

Everything you see here is currently available in my store: lectronz.com/stores/evilg...
This little motion-sensitive 75mm Fibonacci256 prototype might be my favorite new thing I've made in a while. This was totally inspired by @starduststorm.art's brilliant "The Hexagon" which you should definitely go buy instead of waiting for me to make more of these. 😁

With the INDX 4-tool conversion kit for my @prusa3d.com CORE One scheduled for delivery today, it is once again time to disassemble my perfectly functional 3D printer. 😁
This will be the fourth time I've upgraded this printer, which I assembled as an i3 MK3S+ kit five years ago.

Hey so a little while ago and to not much fanfare I had a crowdfunding campaign for an arduino programmable amulet. The project i called anwaar and the idea was a platform for people to be able to make personalized pcb art amulets. www.crowdsupply.com/chipperdoodl...

Perlin noise flow field pattern. Particles follow a noise flow field that slowly evolves over time. The flow field has a strong upward bias. Each particle leaves a fading trail drawn from the currently selected color palette. Particles respawn at the bottom when they drift off-screen or age out.

I'm revisiting "Sol v2". I tore it down, rewired the 1,628 pixels into eight parallel channels, and went from 20 to 72 FPS. 😁

I just read up on "BrowserGate" where LinkedIn is secretly searching users' computers for installed Chrome extensions, and I just had to make a simple demo web page.
It uses only client-side javascript & doesn't send any data anywhere: jasoncoon.github.io/chrome-ext-l...

For me, Children of Strife by @aptshadow.bsky.social is a "drop everything else and read (listen) immediately" kind of release. Children of Time is one of my all-time favorite science fiction novels by one of my favorite authors. The narration is superb.
