lamp shopping makes me feel old af

[changterhune@mastodon.social]

@sean_ae I mean… define lamp amirite?

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@changterhune you mean now now or now when you posted that cos like idk if that's how the future works but i'm no scientist and i've been wrong before about this kind of thing

[changterhune@mastodon.social]

@sean_ae ah sorry that was the future now then not the now now. This is the now now.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@changterhune the now is now!

i get it now, or rather i just got it then and i still get it now which implies i might get it in the future

@changterhune @sean_ae the bulb told me in a dream the future is now but unfortunately it requires a firmware update before it can confirm this.

Now the lamp is also unsure whether it is currently illuminating or just being imminently obsolete.

@HAPPENINGHOTDOG @sean_ae (it's his nipples. It's a well-known fact that Jesus loves to have his nipples touched.)

[changterhune@mastodon.social]

@sean_ae oh dear I’ve just gotten word that the now now is in fact almost always the old now as it’s I constant update mode. This is in fact the new now now

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@changterhune the only lamp in the 'replaceable bulb' section of the shop

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@HAPPENINGHOTDOG @alisynthesis oh that's nasty

[changterhune@mastodon.social]

@sean_ae yeah I’m not feeling this Modok reboot one bit

[alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com]

@sean_ae @HAPPENINGHOTDOG I mean, I'm not the one who made the lamp.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@alisynthesis @HAPPENINGHOTDOG thanks for clarifying

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @changterhune How did we make it this far without a reference to The Phantom from 'Inland Empire'?

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @changterhune if they made it now he'd need to have a whole lamp in there

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @changterhune

I like how the main dude's ketchup stain in this scene kind of becomes a light (after this iirc)

Inland Empire (2006) - Who Are Those People?

older upload of this video got taken down, probably the most iconic scene from my favorite movie of all timeit makes almost as little sense in context as it ...

@sean_ae always thought that block cellular automata patterns could make a nice lamp, with thick semi-translucent acrylic or glass. I really should take steps towards actually making something like this, and/or using these patterns for things like furnishing fabrics, ties or socks.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@GuyBirkin rule 30 could make a nice pyramid shade

[guybirkin@post.lurk.org]

@sean_ae pyramid's a nice idea. did some things with pyramid shapes based on 2D CAs - actually built this one in Lego for my MA, with around 8,000 bricks

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@GuyBirkin oh i really like that, very nice

@alisynthesis @HAPPENINGHOTDOG @sean_ae I think he said "Blessed are those who touch my nipples, for they shall enlightened"
