pedram@smash:~$ cat WELCOME.md

welcome

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

everything on this page is a command i already ran for you. the tabs up top are commands too: 1:Blog is just cd blog. clicking around runs things. you never have to, though. the whole site is reachable from the prompt at the bottom.

ls, cd, cat, tree: walk it like a filesystem. every page is a directory, every post is a file.
help for the basics, ls /bin for the full arsenal, man anything.
pipes and loops work: 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.
tab completes, up-arrow remembers, ctrl-R searches history, ctrl-C stops whatever you started.

fair warning: there are more easter eggs in here than actual content. some are games, some are toys, some you'll only find by poking. there are flags hidden around too, ctf keeps score.

so explore. poke at things. 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.

start with finger pedram, cat MANTRAS.md or neofetch. then go break something.

# 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.
