Clean signals from the void. 2026-05-26T00:00:00Z https://xstaticprocess.dev/ Kelly Sharadin 2026-05-26T00:00:00Z https://xstaticprocess.dev/transmissions/odetocyberdeck/ <p>I've been obsessed with cyberdecks. Cyberdecks are small, purpose built devices. Creators often use small raspberry pis, or other single board computers as the brains of the device. I've seen some amazing work recently from a few folks in the community. But, this video by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIWp_F9PPzI">Janku</a> is on another level.</p> <h2>Where art and engineering intersect</h2> <p>This video encapsulates mastery over multiple modern disciplines. Design, 3D printing, Rapid prototyping, electronics, software and the list goes on. What's truly amazing is how these disciplines are integrated. This is an incredibly inspiring video of what is possible.</p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gIWp_F9PPzI?si=dytDhWkEcjfuho4-" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> 2026-05-20T00:00:00Z https://xstaticprocess.dev/transmissions/indieweb/ <p>One day, combing through my YouTube recommendations, I came across a video about this thing called the indieweb. This short 20 min video explaining what the indieweb was, instantly hooked me. Growing up with the Y2K personaility of the web, which wasall about creativity and expression, then having that crushed by the social media monoliths, this felt like coming home and rediscovering a part of myself I thought was gone forever. I'm not the only one who feels this way.</p> <h2>Where to start</h2> <p>What was my site goin to be? What are digital gardens? What were other people doing? As most things I start with diving head first and figuring it out as I go. The answer is: whatever I want it to be.</p> <p>Wanting it to feel like the Y2K website of my dreams. I thought about the design and making it anonymous, without my face or name. I got through a couple of quick iterations. Learning about 11ty and how to create my own components. How to get connected with the indieweb. Before deciding I needed this site to be the cornerstone of my digital presence.</p> <p>I needed something that I owned and controlled. Somewhere I could weave my professional and personal life. A place to share my projects, my thoughts, my interests, my identity.</p> <p>So I created, X-Static Process.</p> <h2>What this is</h2> <p>A hub for all my projects, opinions on security news and bringing back that Y2K personality of the web.</p> 2026-05-17T00:00:00Z https://xstaticprocess.dev/transmissions/sumie/ <h2>Pressure and Power</h2> <p>Had the pleasure of taking a workshop with reowned Japanese artist <a href="https://masumisakagami.com/">Masumi Sakagami</a>. Learned the different calligraphy brush strokes, how to hold the brush and some Sumi-e techniques.</p> <p>Intense focus on every line. Precision.</p>
