The ans Phil Warren -Let's explore the invention-in-progress of an amazing "printing machine", which re-imagines the use of a vintage typewriter, using 3d-printed custom glyphs, to type full-color(ish) images using only red and green ink- this process uses a stop-gap hack Technicolor came up with in 1921 to trick us into thinking we're using full color, as well as a hack the KGB used in the American embassy around 1981 to turn a typewriter into a rudimentary teletype machine. Now we can feed it a cypher, and a well-rendered image will spit out! The steps to get here were weirder than one would imagine- with some robotics, some elder runes, and some film history appreciation along the way! +Let's explore the invention-in-progress of an amazing "printing machine", which re-imagines the use of a vintage typewriter, using 3d-printed custom glyphs, to type full-color(ish) images using only red and green ink- this process uses a stop-gap hack Technicolor came up with in 1927 to trick us into thinking we're using full color, as well as a hack the KGB used in the American embassy around 1981 to turn a typewriter into a rudimentary teletype machine.

Once, as a child, he swallowed a bunch of nickels, which gave him the memories and powers of those nickels. Unfortunately the nickels knew very little of the natural world, so it afforded little benefit. They weren't dimes.
