A creative technologist takes an idea and works out what technology can do for it. Then builds the way it gets made, so it works a second time too.
That's the short version, as a 39-second pixel film. I'm the one with the hat.
In my own work it goes two ways. Creative workflows make the work: the images, clips and films. Operational ones keep it running, like the setup behind a team using AI every day. For both, the loop is the same: test it, break it, build it better.
The voice in the film is a synthetic version of mine. The animation is drawn in code.
Love this definition! "Works a second time too" is the real difference between a cool experiment and actual creative technology. Building the system so it repeats is where the craft is. That 39-second pixel film sounds fun - love that you put yourself in it with the hat! 😄
Every AI app makes you wait. Most show a boring spinner.
So I made a free "AI Generating" loading screen template. Swap the logo, image, text and colors.
Built with the SVGator MCP, and edited in the SVGator.
I learned that I can keep prompting in any coding agent and edit the animation too! Very cool!
seen so many matcha cafes lately that I wanted to see the anatomy of one 💚
so I'm building one. this is the first prototype.
it's a matcha bar, where the drawing is your order tracker. your cup moves through the bar, station by station, as the barista makes it: sift, pour, whisk, milk or ice, the window. I wanted the wait to be the best part.
what you're seeing is just the design. the full submission will be a whole website for a matcha cafe, built on Base44: you order your matcha online, your order lands straight on the barista's screen, every tap there moves your cup along, and an email tells you when it's ready at the window.
coming later these days.
