nand2tetris.org Haven't finished it yet but it's all about building a full computer from a NAND to other logic gates (mux, dmux, and, or, etc) to higher level things like assembly, memory, cpu, and it keeps going to a tetris game. It's challenging, comprehensive and builds upon itself. It's awesome
here's a general rule of thumb: a man whose backlog of books isn't as least 2x as long as the books read is either (logical or here) a) consistently reading intellectually shallow or uninteresting things b) not really learning anything from what is being read.

Curious, can you share a link to the OS project and the algorithmic art project?
Also not for nothing, but Kiregaard is really the father of existentialism
