Fully reversible USB A to micro B cable. The Wolfman Museum of Art is an interactive multimedia art museum.
RIGHT WAY UP USB 🔌 DIY GENERATIVE ART 🖌️ SINKING THE SPAMMERS 🚢
Heya,
I am ready for another week now that I found a very special USB cable. The instastress that comes with USB rotation could be a thing of the past. It's always the right way up, and that's a beautiful thing.
I also found bobbleheads that will appeal to roughly 87.9% of the population. You can't combine an international pastime with an international pastime without sparking more joy that OG Air Jordans. But, if you're hungry for more, then check out the generative poster maker. I spent a good hour on it before I realized I could animate it. Happy days.
Enjoy,
Chris.

They say it is hosted on an asteroid, but I suspect that's not true.

Daylen makes trippy black & white animations.
There's a really cool one, if you don't have an eye "thing", which I didn't link directly to because I was scarred by "An Andalusian Dog" back in the day.

When I was a kid the graphics from Minecraft were, genuinely, as good as graphics got. The only way the graphics got better was when they made it into a film, like Super Mario Bros.
