A new bike share station utility map has been making the rounds lately which shows a potential problem for Bike Share Toronto. Many stations north of Bloor routinely see no bikes while many downtown or close to the Waterfront see no docks. #BikeTO #TOpoli jdstrapp.pythonanywhere.com/BikeShareUti...
And here's a little breakdown of the visuals in that last animation, and how they're made with p5: www.davepagurek.com/blog/video-e...
This is a video I made to show what you can build out of p5js visuals when you can put it in a timeline with synchronized sound! youtu.be/txKD_dX-0ZM?...

I saw @jackconte.bsky.social 's talk about AI and I have a lot of thoughts it's a good example where the distinction between craftsmanship vs artistry vs creativity is a very useful lens as for why some saw it as an anti-AI talk and some saw it as a pro-AI talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=17_H...

Thank goodness for the feds. Toronto isn't Ford's playground where he can do whatever he wants. I hope this signifies a new trend of federal help in shutting down his destructive, money-grubbing schemes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

No filter. The reality is slightly more yellow but this is close.
I threw together hyper terminal cube in a couple of hours for a Create Code Toronto presentation. Here's the presentation! youtube.com/watch?v=KOKN... Rewatching it, cringing. I need to learn how to explain what the heck a pty is, haha

when folks say that manual procedural generation work is not the same as generative AI, this is what we mean. it's all just humans making artistic decisions, even if it is generated. it's more often than not a highly manual process as detail oriented as when i'm manually making environments.
loren schmidt@lorenschmidt.bsky.social · last mo.i'm thinking about cases for high buildings next to doors through walls. the rooftop could be connected! it could extend the rooftop so the structure merges with the wall, or it could do a narrow earth connector...
It’s surreal seeing it come full circle. The people stuck in the crowded Church Street sidewalk are now free to roam the streets! (At least during the 2 month pedestrianization pilot) Streets are for the people!
Rodney 🚧🚇@chanface.bsky.social · 2mo agoWas on Church Street last night to celebrate the pedestrian pilot passing at City Council and saw what originally inspired me to propose pedestrianizing it in the first place—sidewalks so crowded that spill into the parking lane!
I've been looking into a way to generate environments for lighting in p5 using strands shader code. That ended up turning into a little library called p5.env to help write some special SDFs that work for this purpose!
I'm very excited for when Apple will have to begin digging into some of the more obscure California landmarks to name their OSes. Introducing MacOS Gilroy Garlic Festival
A year ago I wondered aloud in a @neverpo.st editorial meeting if answering “Why can so many things play Doom?” would generate enough material for a segment. After talking to a bunch of people much cooler, and smarter than myself … I can say the answer is a resounding “yes”, and then some.

Terrible news for #BikeTO! I got confirmation from @toronto.ca that the eglintonTOday Complete Street Project can no longer be completed because of changes to provincial legislation. Given the City had resurfaced that street last fall without bike lanes, it's on them too. #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli
There are many widely available health & wellness apps that will remind you to periodically get up from your desk and walk around but I can personally recommend my own low-tech method which is to continuously drink ungodly amounts of tea.
I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
what a great end to a game, grand slam in an extra inning for the win. it's not over till it's over!
why are there never any city bikes anywhere in davisville when i need one 😭
The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.
one of the goals of the work @softmoon.world and i have been doing for new @processing.org webgpu backend is for high level support for compute shaders / particles. excited to finally get this working, 50k boids rendering at 60fps and being rasterized by @bevy.org materials system, w/ 0 custom wgsl

Experimental: PickyPalette — a color picker that shows you the weight of each color as you build your palette. See how much space a color claims. Every color fights for its territory in the color space. So you know exactly how dominant or subtle your pick is. WDYT? meodai.github.io/color-palett...
