A high-tech low-res display using spools and fabric!

F21 Thread Screen – This is super cool. Be sure to watch the “behind the scenes” video so you can see how it works. It took me a while to work out that each “spool” is actually one end of a long rotor belt of “threaded fabric” that turns so the correct colour displays. You can send your own Instagram photo by tagging it with #F21ThreadScreen. (I sent mine this morning but it hasn’t shown up yet. Not sure how long a backlog they’ve got!)


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
