Crossword Heatmap

Ran some surface level visual analysis into the per character patterns of the NYT crossword puzzle. Have I ever done a single crossword? Never. Do I like grid data and heatmaps? Absolutely

Finding a clearing On inviting a little bit of serendipity and calm into your life

My favorite part of moving somewhere new? The chance for discovery, finding a clearing, some comfort some calm and something delightful

Climate change is nonexistent at +0°C

Climate change is ravaging at +1.55°C

Climate change is grimmanent at +1.85°C

Climate change is REALITY at +2.5°C

Rising Temperature Analogizing climate change with the meltdown of LLM responses under increasing temperature

Repeatedly asked an LLM to describe climate change in 1 word, iteratively turning up the temperature parameter knob. Highly scientific results in this little code sketch

I upped the stakes to filter for a more exclusive teamwide 60-60-90 shooting club and found 14 instances of this (0 in the playoffs). As a Mavs fan, made me very happy to see a Dirk-led team in the list

#MFFL #DirkNowitzki

In the regular season, a teamwide 50-40-90 has happened 1000+ times. And 7 times both teams in a game faced off with dueling 50-40-90s

The teamwide 50-40-90 game has happened 64 times in the NBA Playoffs. In the past 2 Playoffs, only the Pacers and Thunder have achieved the feat

NBA Teamwide 50-40-90's A deep dive into some of the NBA's most efficient teamwide shooting displays.

After watching the Pacers & Thunder hit 50-40-90 percentages as a team in the Playoffs, I looked further into NBA teamwide shooting excellence

Beige A list of some of my favorite blogs / gardens / websites / products / projects that use a beige style.

Started collecting my favorite beige styled websites. I was first drawn to how it evokes old books and humanity. Interesting to see how some LLM websites (Anthropic) have co-opted the beige + illustration + serif style

Photo Gradient Generate beautiful gradients from colors or from a photo

The blurred, grainy style on the page is inspired by the Photo Gradient tool by @dan-d.bsky.social

Photos A selection of my photos mostly focused on the natural world - trees, forests, rivers, clouds - and some geometry in the built world.

As long as I can remember, I've enjoyed taking photos mostly of nature - trees, oceans, lakes, flowers. Sometimes there's cool geometry in a building or a bridge or my favorite wonder of the world: the Alhambra

Born #onthisday in 1799, the English botanist Anna Atkins. As well as being considered by many to be first woman to create a photograph, her stunning 1843 book of algae cyanotypes is thought to be first book illustrated with photographs: buff.ly/2HCCTc8 #OTD

Started adding a dark theme to the website - worked better than I'd expected and helped me organize my CSS variables

Added a #honeycomb to the front page - was interesting doing the #geometry for these elongated #hexagons

Music Tracing a quasi-chronological path through the evolution of my musical taste. So many incredible songs and genres.

Had a lot of fun going back through all the songs I've loved over the years. I wrote a little blurb for each song evoking some memory or feeling

Poems An ongoing collection of my poems, sometimes written out of reluctance. Sometimes in rapture.

Collected as many of my poems I could find, scattered across years of notebooks and scribbles and files and folders. Put them in the garden

Climbing Trees Reminiscing and collecting silhouettes of a few of my favorite trees

In a previous iteration of my personal website, I'd collected some silhouettes of my favorite trees to climb. Took those and added them to my current website as a little data sketch
