I just posted a blog post on my hyperbezier curve: https://linebender.org/blog/hyperbezier/
I've actually been working on this for years, and only recently figured out a solution to the parameter mapping problem. I think this curve is potentially better than cubic Béziers for 2D vector graphic design. It is smoother but has the same useful expressive range.

As a fun project, I implemented race-the-beam image decompression on RP2350 with DVI output. I can get 1280x720 at 60Hz with a bit of overclocking.
PR at https://github.com/DusterTheFirst/pico-dvi-rs/pull/23
I'll probably write this up, the idea is pretty cool.

I'm getting rid of some stuff, as I'm moving to Australia in January. First item listed is a Yamaha DX7s synthesizer. This was actually the model I used to reverse engineer the emulation core that is now the basis for Dexed. $250 OBO.
I also have a full Nikon D810 camera with (I think) 5 lenses and a high end Gitzo carbon-fiber tripod.

What I'd like to do is a low-resource synthesizer that can run on chips such as RP2350. I'm reading the MITalk book … ★ 59
