The full index

Almost Everything.
Roughly chronological.

Some live, some archived, some embarrassing in retrospect. We keep them all. It's the record.

  1. № 01

    Orbital

    2024–present

    A TypeScript simulation core for agent-based models — in the older NetLogo/MASON sense, not the LLM one. Several of our recent civic tools run on top of it.

  2. № 02

    Simulate World

    2022–present

    Part meetup, part open reference — a convening for environmentalists, humanists, hackers, and artists who want to build ecosystem models together.

  3. № 03

    FutureOf

    2020–2022

    A DAO-managed conference series. Three editions so far — Micropayments, The Browser, Water — each a single day at human scale.

  4. № 04

    HumanScale

    Design thinking for human-scale architecture.

  5. № 05

    Lifecards

    2023

    Our own web layout engine. You write a tree of typed card objects in a JavaScript module; the runtime assembles the page at load time. No build step, no HTML authoring, no framework lock-in.

  6. № 06

    Sugar

    2020–2023

    A small bet on what social software looks like if it's oriented toward actually being somewhere — together, briefly, in a shared place.

  7. № 07

    StarryBot

    2022

    Hold the right token in the right Cosmos wallet; the bot lets you into the right Discord rooms. A small experiment in using on-chain identity to shape social space.

  8. № 08

    Lemonopoly

    2012–2013

    Bay Area cities competed for “The Big Lemon” by doing Lemon Challenges — go find a tree, do something lemony, log a Claim. Half game, half community-food-systems intervention.

  9. № 09

    Weather Cards

    2022

    Each card is a city's current weather rendered as a whole scene: sky gradient, drifting clouds, sun and moon positions, regional landmarks, seasonal flourishes. A quiet push in the opposite direction from minimalist dashboards.

  10. № 10

    InsideMaps

    3D reconstruction of modern interiors.

  11. № 11

    Zero Theorem

    2013

    Two small tools for the production of Terry Gilliam's 2013 film: a libcinder-based video sequencer and a custom iOS player that could loop and cross-cut without the black frames normal players insert.

  12. № 12

    Luminate

    2016

    Point your phone at a surface and draw glowing 3D tubes in space. A small early bet on AR as a spatial-sketchbook medium.

  13. № 13

    LightSuit

    2011

    A full-body LED suit built for Burning Man 2011. An Arduino-driven controller, addressable LEDs sewn through the fabric, patterns that responded to motion and sound.

  14. № 14

    WhereCamp

    2008–2014

    An unconference series for geo-enthusiasts, “social place hackers,” artists, activists, and earth scientists — anybody who wanted to know their place.

  15. № 15

    ImageWiki

    2008

    A 2008 Ruby/Merb experiment in visual matching and image-as-interface. Shipped as Imawik. Receipts on doing visual search before ML-based image understanding was the default.

  16. № 16

    WhereIs

    Disjecta social lifelines.
