pedram@smash:~$ cat WELCOME.md

welcome

This isn't a normal website. It's my shell (PASH: Pedram Amini SHell), and you're logged in right now.

Everything you see on this page is the result of a command I already ran for you. The tabs up top trigger commands too. "Blog" is just cd blog. You may click, but you don't need to. The whole site and much more is reachable from the prompt, just start typing at the bottom of the page.

Use common commands like ls, cd, cat, tree to explore the site as a filesystem. Every page is a directory, every post is a file.
Try help for some basics, ls /bin for the full arsenal, man anything.
Pipes and loops work too! fortune | cowsay | lolcat, banner hello | wall, for i in 1 2 3; do stoic; done
⌘K (CTRL-K) searches the whole site, and lists the toys too.
You've got tab completion, up-arrow and CTRL-R for command history, CTRL-C to break out of the current running command.

You should know that there are more Easter eggs in here than actual content. Some are games, some are toys, most you'll find only by poking. There are flags hidden around too, run ctf to track your progress.

So explore. Poke around. Try what you'd try on a box you just popped. Nothing you run leaves your browser, though I do log commands (anonymously) so I can see what people go for. If something breaks, that's a bug report, tell me.

I'll run a few more commands below to introduce you to some of my work then you're on your own.

# Hermanos Amini Art Project · 2026-08-22

Weekend art project. Inspired by a music compilation my brother shared with me. There's dozens of knobs to play with and a slew of keyboard triggers. You can also interact via voice keywords or full blown agentic chat.

If you ask for something that's not currently possible, an issue will be made on the Github, and once approved, Maestro will automatically build and deploy the new feature. Notifying you via email to come back and check it out

An open source living art piece:

hermanosamini.com

Check it out on our multi-screen office display: YouTube. You can even download it as a screen saver for Windows/MacOS, see the releases panel on Github.
