in surface mount soldering mode 22 Oct 2026 so what we have here is (a) a program i wrote (b) in a programming language i designed (c) compiled to game boy assembly language with a compiler i wrote (d) running on a game boy emulator that i wrote (over the summer) 24 Aug 2026 current status of my solar powered alba generator as i work to finish things up before presenting it at ELO next week. the words in {curly brackets} are meant to be replaced at generation time by other words of the same part of speech (to add some variation that is welcome when you're working with such a small corpus). but now i kinda like how glitchy they look when passed through directly haha 09 Jul 2026 doing some random maze generation on the gameboy... in a programming language i made up, which i compiled to gameboy assembly with the compiler i wrote for it. i'm having fun and learning things! 17 Mar 2026 was out of town for a little bit 15 Nov 2025 I've been working on an RP2040-based Game Boy flash cartridge for a while, and the source code, schematics, production files are now online, all with copyleft licenses. The cartridge is called ABC ("Allison's Bootleg Cart") and you can find all of the materials here: https://abc.decontextualize.com/ (also in bio) This is by far the most complicated electronics thingy I've ever made, so there are bound to be mistakes and weirdnesses (which is why I'm calling this a "pre-release"), but I think I did pretty well in meeting my design objectives: low power use, versatility, and hackability. (The other design objective was to "learn a bunch of new stuff" which I definitely did.) I'm not selling any pre-assembled boards for the time being, but I have a handful of unpopulated PCBs and I will send you one of 'em at cost plus shipping—there's a link to my little shop doodad at the URL above. (US only, apologies!) 01 Jan 1970 Join us for a virtual reading of Allison Parish's Two of Pentacles featuring guest readers Holly Melgard and John Cayley on Sunday May 18th at 4pm ET. 🎊 07 May 2025 They're here! The first print run of Two of Pentacles by @allison.parrish has arrived. Our production assistant Kim has confirmed the books are excellent to stand on! Every copy of Two of Pentacles is uniquely shuffled like a deck of cards and printed one at a time, so every one of these books is different inside. Every copy brings new and unexpected juxtapositions of images and thoughts. Preorders are live now on our website! And if you're in NYC, don't miss the launch reading on the 26th at @woodbine.nyc, featuring guest readers charles theonia, Todd Anderson, and Nick Montfort! 11 Apr 2025 💻✨📚 Meet Allison Parrish, a computer programmer, poet, and game designer whose teaching and practice address the unusual phenomena that blossom when language and computers meet. She is an Assistant Arts Professor at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program. According to Ars Technica, Allison's work "delight[s] everyone." She was named "Best Maker of Poetry Bots" by the Village Voice in 2016, and her zine of computer-generated poems, "Compasses," received an honorary mention in the 2021 Prix Ars Electronica. Allison is the co-creator of the board game Rewordable (Clarkson Potter, 2017), and her books, chapbooks and collaborations have been published by presses such as Counterpath, Instar, Aleator, and Anteism. Her poetry has appeared in BOMB Magazine, Strange Horizons, Taper and Ninth Letter, among other publications. In 2024, she was the recipient of the Electronic Literature Organization's "Maverick" award. Allison is just out here every day doing her best. She is originally from West Bountiful, Utah and currently lives in Brooklyn. Save the date: Saturday, April 26th at Woodbine! #BookRelease #SupportSmallPress #IndieBookLaunch #IndependentPublishing #BookLaunch2025 #SmallPressBooks #IndieAuthors #LiteraryCommunity #NewBookAlert #IndieLit #NothingtoSay #Twoofpentacles #poetrybook #poetry 09 Apr 2025 We said goodbye to Althea last night. The vet found a tumor under her tongue two weeks ago, and a biopsy later confirmed that the tumor could not be treated; it grew quickly and ruthlessly until she was in constant pain and no longer able to eat. She was the most puppy-like kitty I have ever known: she loved ear skritches and belly rubs (soft and warm) and learned how to do tricks (shake, stand up, both paws in my hands, high five, lie down). I never got her to wear a walking jacket, though, but she did outsmart me and steal a few treats from me while I was trying to train her to do so. She loved our morning routine; she loved to wake up early and watch the sunrise. She loved me: sometimes she would make eye contact with me across the room and start kneading the blanket she was sitting on. She taught me how to love and, more remarkable and more difficult, how to *be* loved and I am so thankful but now my whole heart is missing. She was a very good kitty, and she did a good job, and I wanted you all to know that. 15 Feb 2025 here's a little video about recent progress on my custom gameboy cartridge project. i decided to add a little (optional) multicart functionality, as a treat. did I teach myself gameboy assembly language for this project? yes. yes I did. apologies for the frame rate problems in the video; i am used to working at 160x144 (also note that the cart is the same size as any other gameboy cart; it's only protruding here because of the boxy pixel housing's unusual dimensions) 25 Oct 2024 summer 2024 pix 05 Sep 2024
