#simulation
Took my wonky witch model from last October and turned her into a platformer protagonist!
Bask in the glow (or shadow as the case may be) of M87′s supermassive black hole with these pieces made for us by Lost in Space JewelryandYugen Tribe, now in stock and soon to be on display at our AAS235* BOOTHtique!
TheLost in Space Jewelry designs feature both the black hole image made by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) last spring as well as a frame of the computer simulation of what they hoped to detect. The spherical earrings shown in the top photo are double sided with the image and simulation back-to-back, as is the pendent necklace. The smaller earrings (second photo) are mismatched and flat on the back.
TheYugen Tribe design features the same image and comes as a sliding pendant and now as black cufflinks! What could be better than black tie, black hole wear?
For those of you not at AAS235, be sure to show some love to both Lost in Space Jewelry (Etsy Store,Twitter) and Yugen Tribe (Website,Twitter,Instagram,Facebook).

Orb.farm
Orb.farm is a pixel-art glass bowl you can fill with water, sand, stone, wood, plankton, fish and other things useful for the creation of underwater ecologies
A wonderful in browser simulation game that lets you create a virtual underwater ecosystem where different species of creature can live, grow and die as part of a self-contained food chain.
I wrote recently about ‘Wind-Up worlds’. Orb.farm feels like one.
But it seems to me that it would benefit from the addition of a ‘slow-social’ experience.
What does an orb game look like when its been tended and looked after by a group of people over ‘years’?
What does a group/collective idle bonsai tree game look like? one thats had 1000′s of collective hours of attention given to it?
What would a game like this feel like to play?

I’ve been doing quite a bit of World Running related consulting recently.
This essay is about Wind-up Worlds, Web3, World Running and the urgent collective pivot we need to make towards Slow Social experiences.
