Three Kind Words – Spread kindness one mysterious postcard at a time

Ever wish you could anonymously drip-feed kindness through the mail? I tried answering that with Three Kind Words (https://threekindwords.com), a vending machine that sends three mysterious postcards over three weeks, slowly revealing a message. Here’s how it works: you pick a three-word message (like "You are awesome" or "I love you"), and each word is printed on its own postcard, mailed one week apart to your unsuspecting recipient. You stay anonymous until the final card arrives, completing the message and revealing who sent it. I made this because I love getting real mail and…

Stack all three cards to reveal my complete message! Stack all three cards to reveal my complete message to you! Now for the big reveal... it's me who's been sending you these kind words! I'm sending you three words, one at a…from threekindwords.com

  • I built a hardware processor that runs Python▲983

    Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
