Jasper Tran O'Leary's work on using computational notebooks for CNC milling really helped me expand my thinking around how symbolic representations can "escape" the computer to manifest in fabricated objects. Also a rad use of @observablehq! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35445…

One of the best moments at CHI was reCHInnecting with Nadya @nadyapeek after 3 years! She was the one who introduced me the incredible world of HCI research when I was a lost undergrad. Now I am actually an HCI PhD student (still a bit lost 🫠)!

I don't know about you... but I am very exhausted and simultaneously very inspired for all the interactivity demos we had at #CHI2022 today! Thanks to a lot of people for this special & heart warming event with our #CHI2022nola hands-on demos. 1/4

Another DIY Stock Part Special! It turns out you can make your own thrust bearings by laser cutting the retainer from Delrin as long as you dont mind installing each BB by hand.

Having too much fun making @Machine_Agency stickers on the silhouette. Orange used to be my least favorite color but I must admit it’s growing on me thanks to @nadyapeek

Made a thing! A 10cc Syringe Tool for Jubilee Toolchangers! Now you can extrude pastes, gels, and other gooey media.
Source Files are up too. Note: 10mm Cube is extruded from Pluronic F-127 on a previous revison.
Hopefully this is the last rev...

If the CHI website is not helping you find cool content we (with absolutely zero bias) can recommend just looking at the stuff Lea recommends 👩💻👨💻
Absolutely fantastic presentation by @branchwelder on work done with Jasper Tran O'Leary and @nadyapeek on the "nuanced interactions between human expertise, machine idiosyncrasies, material properties, and code" seen on #plottertwitter: youtube.com/watch?v=xqhT-8El…
