Ever spun the globe with your eyes closed to pick a random location? It sucks. You usually get oceans. I made a quick demo that spins the globe in a population-weighted way! When you "spin the globe," it selects a random location *weighted by population*. prismika.github.io/projects/ran...

I love things "of the year". Coin of the Year. Color of the Year. Allergen of the Year. I made a page on my website to keep track of a bunch of my favorites: prismika.github.io/projects/thi... I have strong opinions about the 2026 contest for European Tree of the Year. But I digress.

About 30 years ago some mathematicians came up with some theoretical drum shapes that solved a long-standing problem. Some undergrads and I tried to make them! Wrote a short blog post about it: prismika.github.io/2026/03/01/w...

"Mix with your ears, not your eyes" is timeless advice, but I'm still bad at it. But I've found a workaround: if there are a bunch of parameters I need to tweak, I just play the sound on a loop, map the parameters to a physical controller, and turn away from my screen while I tweak them.

Neat trick: if you use a spectral morph plugin (like Melda MMorph or Zynaptiq Morph) and sweep your carrier and modulator in opposite directions, it can make some fun sounds!
