So out of boredom I built 8 minecraftish pumpkins and put them in random places at the university:

Needless to say they vanished almost instantly without any impact whatsoever (except the two in the library, they were moved to an empty shelf and survived several weeks). I hope at least one was not trashed and sits now in the room of a lucky finder.
I was pleasently surprised how easy it was to build something rather nice looking without any artistic skills, for Halloween I'm planning to put a very big one in an elevator.

This year for our family's Christmas ornament exchange we do at Thanksgiving, I did another laser cutter project. this time, I created "build your own ornament" rocket kits. I also did a Blog post talking about the process of designing and producing these, which can be found here:

Those ornaments are an awesome idea. I have a Vic Viper model I made out of some laser cut acrylic. I'll have to track down my photos of it.

Could be good for an abstract .. album cover. Get it on Pitchfork. >_>

Speaking of random abstract art .. I made another Liquidjava thing recently. Requires Java Applet support.

The D: was more for the Pitchfork comment.

The liquid paint is more of a 0_0

Recently I created a demo which was presented at a demoscene event. It`s a TurboGrafx-16 ROM image (also works on latest Magic Engine and Ootake) that I loaded onto an ic2005 flashcard to run on my TG16. Shows off the 10.7MHz high-res video mode, some software scaling effects, and color palette effects.

Excellent work, Sly! Looks fantastic. Is that a model kit you can buy, or did you do everything?

That's pretty neat! Is all the scaling and translucency done in background tiles?

Yes. The VDC has an option to increment the VRAM address by 32 after every write. If the BG map is organized right then you can use this to write two bitplanes-worth of a whole raster line in linear order (saves a lot of time)

Did you know that MSPaint isn't just for terrible fan art that you can vectorize in a tracing program and then color in photoshoop? It's true.

You can also use it to make terrible video game-y pixel sprites, too:
