I finished a new drawing yesterday

Honestly the most challenging 3D model I've done so far. Gonna polish up the firmware for it then post everything on GitHub (for the thousands of people that want to turn a BMW shifter in to a Bluetooth keyboard 😂)

I might make a change to the bottom part to let me attach to my desk with c clamps rancher than just the suction cup mounts it has now

Firstly, succumb to the knowledge that SVG files can have javascript embedded in them. Here is an example of some SVG art I made with a color-picker built into it.

Secondly, a fun fact: In SVG, a block of javascript code can live inside a tag alongside vector graphics. This means if you copy that group to another SVG document (e.g. in inkscape) the script will come along too.

So consider: an alternate history where SVG won over HTML. One where someone wrote some javascript that dynamically resizes the SVG viewbox depending on display resolution, and implements a grid-based layout system. I'm 50% sure this is possible, someone would just have to implement it.

So given paragraph 1, 2, and 3 together: I'm imagining that you could distribute scripts for SVG web pages as fancy vector graphics with the javascript inside its group tag. So if you were to load one of these alternate universe web pages into a graphics editor, you'd be able to see all the libraries it uses arranged in a neat row just outside the canvas extents. Anyway, I just think that would be neat

I wish I could find it now, because there was a guy who used to barge into any discussion about CSS to let you know you could make whole websites in SVG, no CSS or HTML needed. His personal site he linked as an example was garish and only looked right in a single web browser window size, but I can't argue that it worked

Jeremy Smith (SymphonicGames) has been out there quietly releasing fun funk music for years. I feel like he gets super overlooked, but his newest album is just incredibly good vibes. Fun stuff.
