Got this cool piece of merch from c90adventures on youtube: all his mini-jeep videos on a usb stick shaped like a mini-jeep. Makes me wonder what kind of nightmarish effigy i could put all my videos on

Just saw this on the science feed, and i'm pretty sure it saw me too

There's a scene in that movie where there is an ipad on a table, and the concept was so beyond my imagination when i was a kid, i thought "thats weird, having a tv screen built into a table at a funny angle"

I do have a stack of home-made comics that I did buy. These are a couple of good ones.

Bumchild: the pros and cons of rectal parenting, by Tim Leopard

One of my biggest regrets is seeing this comic on the shelf of a newsagents back in the 90s and not immediately buying it poopsheetfoundation.com/index.php/mi...

front cover of "Giant Skull on Wheels", featuring a picture of a giant skull on wheels. "Now I am going to kill you!" says the giant skull on wheels

Did a talk recently and thought I should share a couple of slides from my presentation that perhaps warrant further study.

Diagram of the animation career path, illustrated with a winding road on which Cyriak joyfully skips as he navigates his creative journey. Places of note along this circuitous route include "detour via job centre", "boring office job" and "making loads of weird videos". The journey ends with Cyriak striding purposefully into the future, though his hair takes a different path

Diagram of "The Process Rainbow", dividing the creative process into a spectrum of "making it up as i go along". The spectrum ranges from "no idea what I'm doing" (red), to "kind of know what i'm doing" (yellow), to "totally know what i'm doing" (blue). These categories are ordered along a vertical axis according to their "messing about level", from "not much" (blue) to "loads" (red). The horizontal axis measures "weirdness level" with blue being "normal-ish" and red being "crazy shit"

Always seeing this at the top of my feed annoys me more than it probably should. It looks like i'm saying "whats up?" to nobody in particular. And I'm not. @twittersupport can we change this please?

Cyriak@cyriak· Jan 14

Decided to animate this, just to see what it would look like

Gave him a little friend with the left over bits

Finished building my lego santa

Seeing as its christmas and steam sale time I figured I should recommend some games I enjoyed this year, even though they are mostly of the old school shooty bang bang variety that nobody else likes. I've probably mentioned all these before so feel free to ignore this

I woke up in the middle of the night with an image burned into my mind that heralded the coming of the end-times. I have re-created this image to the best of my memory, though looking at it now I dunno if it inspires the same feeling of dread as it did at 3 in the morning..

There are some great freeze frames in this

I was curious what my experiment would look like if the temporal distortion was rotating. Not sure if I would call this a "success", but its definitely a something

Cyriak@cyriak· Nov 21

A friend asked me what it would look like if I plugged that video back into the original experiment sideways, and the answer is whatever this is.

Cyriak@cyriak· Nov 21

Decided to revisit this weird slit-scan style experiment I did years ago

Cyriak@cyriak· Nov 8

Trying to watch that new frankenstein film and for some reason all i can think about is Steptoe & Son

St. Cyriac is an excellent saint to petition to protect children from temptation online. Because he is the saint associated with eye disease, St. Cyriac is also an excellent saint to petition for children's eyesight, which can be strained due to screen time.

Saw what appeared to be a painting of a magpie on the ground, but on closer inspection it might just be some random dirt. Its eye is a ladybird that decided to sit there.
