Week 86: Diffusions and Dispersions

16 Oct, 2022

I started writing this weeknote almost a month ago - so much for weeknotes. But it’s fine, this was never meant to be a chore. Work has been incredibly busy, and I’ve underestimated how difficult it is to build something truly new, while building an organization, a culture and being in a transition from individual contributer to leader. In a sense, I’m learning to be the diffuser of my way of thinking and doing, rather than doing the thinking or doing. ...

Week 82: Stable Diffusion as a Creative Personal Assistant

4 Sep, 2022

Admittedly, the potential of missing the generative AI/ML train that’s running full speed these years gives me anxiety. I haven’t found the way to use it in my current job yet, but I’m curious. This week I have been reading about Stable Diffusion, the open source latent text-to-image diffusion model capable of generating photo-realistic images given any text input. It being open source, malleable and run locally, is exciting. Stable Diffusion Hello World I decided to take it out for a spin on my laptop, a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro. ...

Week 81: Morephaweb and Forensic Architecture

28 Aug, 2022

It wasn’t until today Sunday that I found some time to work on side projects. Last week I added tracking to Morphaweb so I can see if people actually use the site to export reels - and it turns out people do! That gave me some motivation to work a bit more on morphaweb (yes the title pun was terrible). Morphaweb One of the major challenges has been handling multiple files. ...

Week 80: Blender and a bit of reading

21 Aug, 2022

Another light week of side project work, but I did manage to finish the Blender x Three.js tutorials and there by also the last bit of Three.js Journey. It’s been a great course, and the best money I’ve ever spent on e-learning. Bruno is a great teacher, and he’s even added lessons since I bought the course, so maybe I’ll even get more for my money’s worth. Blender x Three.js Since a couple of weeks ago I finished the UV unwrapping of the model, so the last part of the lesson was how to do model optimizations and exporting everything correctly from Blender. ...

Week 79: Morphagene reel splicer

14 Aug, 2022

This week was going to be a slow side project week due to lots of work and sunny evenings in Copenhagen. But then I saw a Github notification about a project I worked on a while back… Morphaweb One of my hobbies is modular synthesis. One of the modules I use is Morphagene by Make Noise. By their own description: The Morphagene music synthesizer module is a next generation tape and microsound music module that uses Reels, Splices and Genes to create new sounds from those that already exist. ...
