Anthony “Tony” Slosar

Industrial designer and integration architect.

Grand Blanc, Michigan. BA Industrial Design, Michigan State University.

Currently working on Single-seat electric commuter

Career

Began after college assembling service parts manuals for GM Service Parts Operations. The dated record ends on a Dealer Management System certification platform, co-conceived and later licensed as a service, on the Volkswagen Group of America, Porsche Cars North America, Ford Motor Company and Kia Motors America accounts.

Simulators

Four in-browser simulators, one machine each, all operable by a visitor.

They are also the source the design system was read out of: every control in it appeared on one of these four pages before it was a component.

Simulators

4 pages
Intel 4004 1971

Programmable simulator

A 4-bit microprocessor, programmed and stepped by the visitor.

  • Assembler with breakpoints and single-step execution
  • Animated datapath: program counter, ROM, instruction register, accumulator
  • Per-cycle narration of the value in transit

6AU6A pentode 1950s

Vacuum tube simulator

An RF pentode under seven independent controls.

  • Animated cross-section with electron transit drawn
  • Plate characteristic curves with the operating point marked
  • Suppressor grid disconnect, showing the tetrode kink
Open →
Magnetic core memory 1955

Interactive laboratory

Programs running on simulated core, with the physical cycle shown underneath.

  • Four-phase destructive read and restore, per fetch
  • Drive and inhibit currents as diagram layers
  • Self-modifying programs, as written before index registers
Open →
Conway’s Game of Life 1970

Cellular automaton

A drawable grid with a named pattern library.

  • Twelve classified patterns, each launched from its own description
  • Population history plotted as the simulation runs
  • Editable cells, variable rate
Open →

Industrial design

A single-seat electric commuter: a recumbent front-wheel-drive tadpole trike, begun as a 1988 clay speedform and now carried forward as generative CAD.

  • Two steered and driven wheels forward, one trailing
  • Recumbent seating position, low centre of gravity
  • 1988 clay model → 3D scan → parametric model

Home lab

A small self-hosted lab run as an operations problem rather than a hardware collection.

  • Monitoring, backup, network and alerting to a phone
  • Operations surfaces that read their source files on every request, so no reading on screen can be a stale copy
  • Not publicly reachable; the playlist is the record of it

Film archive

Home movies shot on 8 mm by Tony’s father, digitised and published.
