I have been fairly radicalized over the past ten years, so I doubt they'll accept it. We shall see if they want to hear 'Fight the Fascists with FOSS' ... in Texas. #blender29 Jan 2026 19:32 +0000at://did:plc:mgdzei6w3i5ljroxstlkz2az/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdljoud76s2chttps://bsky.app/profile/delanop.com/post/3mdhevaltnc2dI've been living at St. Jude for the past few weeks while my son is in therapy. I met other synth dads whose kids are in proton radiation therapy and we've started jamming together. We named the group Proton Beam. We're awful and it's awesome. I mainly do the visuals. The lion was Oliver's idea.28 Jan 2026 03:55 +0000at://did:plc:mgdzei6w3i5ljroxstlkz2az/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdhevaltnc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/delanop.com/post/3mcvt3b44n22tI've been making new work from the spaces here at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital where we've been living while my son undergoes treatment. The full work will be at the upcoming faculty show at Czurles Nelson Gallery on Buffalo State's campus starting next week. It's also on my website.21 Jan 2026 04:21 +0000at://did:plc:mgdzei6w3i5ljroxstlkz2az/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcvt3b44n22thttps://bsky.app/profile/delanop.com/post/3m7nzy67cpk2xIt's coming along... a new procedural, animated Jupiter-like atmosphere for Blender for my fellow sci-fi nerds.

My son, Oliver, is in surgery today to remove a brain tumor that has returned after six years. He needs your good hopes and well-wishes for a speedy recovery. Thank you.21 Nov 2025 18:23 +0000at://did:plc:mgdzei6w3i5ljroxstlkz2az/app.bsky.feed.post/3m65vpg4g6c2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/delanop.com/post/3m5j6qewvuc23He doesn't let me take many pictures of him... My son Oliver is getting his next brain MRI at St. Judes in a few hours. If you all could send him positive energy for clear scans, I do appreciate it.
