These are all beautiful! I'm inspired, thank you. Do you have a blog or a public code repository? I would like to read about your process and techniques.

I'll second this, Embassy on the ESP32-c6 is great.

This is great! How do you design the puzzles and score the moves?

I agree with Andrew, side projects are a great way to rediscover joy. From my own experience:

- Decompress and seek fun, instead of aiming to "get a project done". Follow whatever excites you. If nothing excites you, step away from the keyboard. Go for a walk, bring a notebook.

- The Artist's Way is great for processing burnout, and self-discovery. One does not need to consider themselves an artist to find the book useful. ( https://juliacameronlive.com/book/the-artists-way-a-spiritua... )

You mention hardware, have you made a silly hardware thing recently? I can recommend running Rust on an esp32, lots of fun.

You’re right, being able to hold the music is nice. PDF liner notes aren’t the same. For your next release you might be interested in the cassette label run by a friend of mine: helloamericalit.com

This is great. I'd also be curious to see other boroughs, distance to nearest subway stop, and how long the lots have been empty.

*And height limits.

You might enjoy Oliver Sacks' book Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain. You're not alone in your experience.

San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) scrounges around for hardware to run Windows 98: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32884814

> When a BART car runs into trouble, Shawn Stange steps back in time. He pops open a circa-2000 IBM Thinkpad running Windows 98 and opens a portal into the train’s brain — the Automated Train Control system — through the DOS computer language.

> Stacks of vintage laptop carcasses are common at BART warehouses. The train software is so old it won’t work on modern computers.

Reminds me of the software archeology in Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky.

Awesome. Thank you.
