But why not some sort of hip-clip and cable for battery, or some sort of laser-tag vest with a Mac mini on the front and a battery on the back?

I mean- even the Sony Walkman started with audio streaming from a hip-mounted computer/power device, especially for work/industrial usage?

Look up laser projectors. Random article: https://www.hisense-usa.com/post/laser-light-projectors-vs-l...

Looks like 3k lumens is your maximum. https://www.google.com/search?q=3000+lumen+projector+in+dayl...

There was an old blog post that talked about "hot tub communities" ... legend says there was a backyard with a hot tub with a passcode lock. The owner didn't mind people using it until the A-holes showed up and then he'd change the passcode on the lock again.

There's more to the story (of course) than this half-remembered paragraph, but I've thought through if there was a way to reproduce that.

Nowadays, there were two schisms. One was between Facebook and YouTube... FB being content walled and protected by default, where YouTube (and old blogs and StackOverflow, Reddit, etc) were public by default.

I hate feeding Facebook, but now, "speaking in public", you're "just feeding the bots". Your content is vaporized into the aether the instant you make it public.

I've thought through if there were a way to make more private, semi-distributed communities, but you run smack into the difficulty of one "traitor" that rebroadcasts content (or any rebroadcasting at all) ends up ruining the closed system.

Time to change the lock on the hot tub again, and delete all the recordings from the cameras. :-/

I'd forgotten about that one... cosmo/ape (and *.zip) opens up a few interesting use cases for portability, but the in-place editing with web-dav and ability to use the browser as an IDE (file->save) would have to be built-out with something like redbean.

You download "blank.html", make changes, then save it as "mine.html" and you're off to the races. It's pretty wild!
