Over Thanksgiving, I tried out Google AI Studio + Gemini 3 Pro.

Recently, Stanford published an paper about AI Agents Simulating People (Jan 2025), in which AI simulated survey responses that humans answered with 85% accuracy.

I had a fun musical journey these past two weeks (in between holiday celebrations, and so so so much food).

Now that we've figured out where to press or touch to play notes (Part 1: Harmonics and Hui Positions , Guqin Part 2: Open & Pressed Notes), we need to figure out how to jot down music. 1: The Old Way, Jianzipu (减字谱) Traditionally, Guqin music is written…

In the last part of this series, Guqin Part 1: Harmonics and Hui Positions, I look at how harmonics determine the position of the 13 Huis (Huī 徽).

At the top of the Guqin, there are 13 dots, or Huī 徽.

Lately, I picked up my old Guqin (古琴).

Here's a video on how I made a digitally designed shirt with fabric printing.

So I've been fiddling around with AWS and setting up serverless computing.

I made a new dress using the same process discussed in this post.

This project plays with perspective and digital manufacturing techniques (sewing simulation, 3D modeling, laser cutting).

Step 1: buy fabric Step 2: LASER!!!!!

Jenny from Caret Dash Caret made a blog post about using Blender to generate sewing patterns for a stuffed animal.
