I have always loved electronics. I enjoy creating electronic circuits, looking at components, and analyzing their designs. I could spend hours just observing them. What fascinated me the most was how their design is purely functional, rather than aesthetic. Over time, I began to appreciate the industrial beauty that emerges from this functionality.

Take capacitors, for example. Their design is entirely practical—a metal canister (i guess aluminum) filled with liquid, with two leads extending from it. It’s a strange yet fascinating object, and it made me think about how other things could resemble it. A medicine bottle with pills inside, or any other kind of container. Even the polarity marking on a capacitor could be seen as a form of branding.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve imagined a world built from electronic components—a city where capacitors serve as energy or water tanks, tall LEDs function as streetlights, and large screens display advertisements. A dystopian world with no trees or organic life, just raw functionality.

Discovering X3DOM

Recently, I discovered a tool called X3DOM through Web legend Melonking. As soon as I started using it, I knew I wanted to build my own miniature electronics city.

I have some basic knowledge of PCB design, which I picked up during my recent experiments with electronics. So, I created a circuit board—not for any real function, just as a design experiment. I wasn’t aiming for a perfect result, but rather testing the idea itself—whether X3DOM could handle it.

The Process

• Designed the board with 96 items in KiCad, Exported the board as a STEP file.
• Imported into Fusion 360 to fix and refine the model then export as an OBJ file.
• Used Blender to organize and rename parts and separate components as needed and adjust materials, then exported as a X3D file.
• Integrated it into web page using X3DOM and added some functionality with JavaScript.

After a lot of refinement, it finally worked the way I wanted, and I loved it. the project with all the files, models, and everything is on my GitHub as an open-source thing.

What excites me most is how this project added a new dimension to my imagination of the city—it feels as if I’ve actually visited this place, as if it exists outside my mind now. That’s a beautiful thing.

I’d be really happy if someone tried exploring my city sacrificing 100MB of internet. I’ll be updating the design soon with an improved version, and I’m excited to experiment with it again.

This project has sparked a lot of ideas in my mind, educational, commercial, even industrial possibilities. I think I might create a tutorial or two about this process and share them, as long as I don’t get distracted by something else.

In 2020, I made a music mix—lo-fi and rough, but I loved it.
Back then, I was deep into vaporwave, deathdream, and all that kind of stuff. It was the COVID era—gloomy days.

Nobody cared for it back then. It never got released, nobody heard it, and I had no idea where it went all these years. Today, I found it on an old, abandoned hard drive.

The mix is called ṃ̸̼̉̊͑̅́̍̆̃̆ͅa̴̛̛̲͌̿̔̌͘d̷͔̈́́̃͜͝e̷̓̆͑͘͝ ì̵̍͛̈̽̕̚͝ͅn̷͎̔̋̓́͐̅̈́͠ a̸̗̖̓̕n̶̫̓̂g̵͔̍̇͊͆́͝͝͝ë̵̝́̓̓r̷̓̽. I first called it Crystal Clear, but later changed it.

The cover is a close-up of a Creative sound card, packed with IC chips.

So I decided to put it on YouTube today.

In 2020 I made a two-minute video for an electronic music track. It was a mashup of 80s and 90s tech ads—cassette players, cars, TVs, computers, CDs, and all kinds of stuff.

Just cut-up commercials and tech nostalgia.

Nobody liked it back then except me and then the whole project got lost, and all I had left was a low-quality 352×288 3GPP 5.6 MB file.

Today, I uploaded it to YouTube because I want to keep sharing things—especially if I liked them and because why not.

I have a video on YouTube now.

I’ve been working on an exciting new project that combines electronics, and wearable accessories. The idea is to create two necklaces that interact with each other when they come close—maybe by lighting up with a unique LED sequence.

The Concept

The main idea is to use sensors like RFID or magnetic sensors to detect when the necklaces are near each other. When they get close, a light pattern would play using small LEDs. I’m aiming for a simple, beautiful, and meaningful interaction between the two pieces.

Current Progress

Sensor Ideas: Considering RFID or magnetic sensors to trigger the interaction. LED Control: Exploring the use of a 4017 decade counter with a 555 timer to create light sequences. SMD components will keep the design small and wearable.

Microcontroller Option: Thinking about using the CH32V003, a small 8-pin microcontroller, to add more flexibility with light patterns and power management.

Power Source: A CR2032 coin cell battery seems like a good fit, but power efficiency is a big focus to ensure the necklaces can last.

What’s Next?

There’s still a lot to figure out! I need to finalize the sensor choice, test the battery life, and refine the LED patterns. and see where this project goes.

Today, I thought about having a blog—again. Eleven years ago, I made a Blogspot and never wrote anything in it.

Things only happen when you make them, when you put something into them, name them, or even just consider them to exist—even if they don’t.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my presence on the web. The web is this huge space where you can take as much as you want, but that rarely happens. Nobody comes to our little corners if we claim them. So, we all end up hanging out in the spaces built for us, even if we hate them or find them uncomfortable.

I want to have my own spaces, even if they’re empty. I visit other people’s spaces a lot. Maybe some people will visit mine too. And if they don’t, at least my space will still be here, and that’s what matters—the alternative.

The internet has become either boring or useless a lot of the time.

That’s why this blog is a step toward creating my own spaces—a place to write whatever I want, even if it’s just words to myself.

I have a blog now.
