If you look really hard at this you’ll see my contribution of bad saxophones and metal chairs making music (and you should anyways because everyone involved is very cool)
Recurse CenterFour Recursers built an arcade cabinet that you can ship games to by pushing to GitHub. It has a real CRT with a custom display adapter, and over 50 new games made by the RC community. Watch the full talk on how the RCade was built from the hardware up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Op...

Thank you to the Recurse Center @recurse.com for inviting me to install Between at their 15th birthday party! I did a batch last fall and it inspired me to get back into programming while meeting so many smart, generous people. I loved being able to do something fun for the community!
I built a "minimum viable PNG" generator during my batch @recurse.com. Just pushed up my work: github.com/adrianparson... `pngcheck` says my little 1x1px image is valid (it's not, but close).

A puzzle where every piece is a phone. A joyful moment from pairing jam demos at the Recurse Center. The demo was almost thwarted by all the iPhones trying to share contact details with each other. @recurse.com
What's it like being an unschooler? What are the weirdest projects people have done at the Recurse Center? What surprises people about our admissions criteria? I talked with Samuel Arbesman about these questions and more. Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/23Kr... YouTube: youtu.be/URxJxTu1WBY
Applying to @recurse.com was one of the single best decisions I've ever made, both personally and professionally. My life would be very different if I hadn't done that - I'm extremely glad I did!
Nick Bergson-Shilcock15 years in and there's still no place else like the Recurse Center. Courses are rigid and don't provide community. Founder residencies are just about building startups. Working alone is lonely. Only RC provides community, lightweight structure, and freedom to follow your curiosity. @recurse.com

This computer is the reason you can't download all software for free. The Franklin Computer Corp was a computer manufacturer founded in the early 1980s. Their flagship product was a clone of the Apple II, one of the most popular personal computers of the day. 1/4

Recurse CenterJoin us in our quest to make an open, hackable, alt-control, modular, multiplayer arcade cabinet! The future home of many a Recurser’s game:
easiest and best job in the world: being a cheerleader for people at Recurse who push&support each other into doing their best lives' work. (this is my answer to "what would you do under UBI")
