I love this. Thanks.

In case anyone hasn't visited the Sol LeWitt installation at MASS MoCA in North Adams MA, do check it out. They usually have some other good stuff there too.

Fun and interesting!

It does loose a little of the “immersiveness” (large walls are covered by the patterns)but makes up for it in the fine details.

The mass moca exhibit is good if you find yourself in north Adams ma. One of my profile photo is in front of a Sol Lewitt wall.

Thank you for the positive feedback. The MASS MOCA is definitely on my must-see museum list. It should scale if you have a projector :)

I love writing with a dash—it packs a punch! On Writing Well by William Zinsser, who taught writing at Yale and Columbia, says this about the dash:

Somehow this invaluable tool is widely regarded as not quite proper—a bumpkin at the genteel dinner table of good English. But it has full membership and will get you out of many tight corners. The dash is used in two ways. One is to amplify or justify in the second part of the sentence a thought you stated in the first part. "We decided to keep going—it was only 100 miles more and we could get there in time for dinner." By its very shape the dash pushes the sentence ahead and explains why they decided to keep going. The other use involves two dashes, which set apart a parenthetical thought within a longer sentence. "She told me to get in the car—she had been after me all summer to have a haircut—and we drove silently into town." An explanatory detail that might otherwise have required a separate sentence is dispatched along the way.

Love this quote. In my youth, I attempted several times to use () for a thought within a larger sentence. My writing teacher at the time hated it! I never knew the correct way to do that or how to articulate it. "A parenthetical thought within a longer sentence" — I was so close!

Hopefully someone else can use the CSV to make a graph that isn't terrible

I'm a senior software engineer with 10+ years of experience building full-stack systems at the intersection of hardware and software. Most recently I led AR/VR automation at Meta, built real-time performance tracing tools with Perfetto, and drove CPU/GPU profiling pipelines for next-gen wearable devices. Before that, I verified phased-array antenna hardware and built full-stack systems for the HAPS project (SoftBank acquisition).

I love turning messy real-world systems into interactive software tools. My skillset spans system design and integration, high-throughput automation, and modern tech stacks. I’m especially into creative 3D UIs, live visualization of physical systems, and tools that empower engineers and artists.

I'm looking for teams solving weird problems that may have physical interfaces, spatial tech, or just need a hacker who figures stuff out and makes it feel polished. Growth-stage startups or skunkworks teams are ideal.
