Ended up making a whole data vis for showing the massive number of deaths over the course of the war. Three.js and canvas rendering 9000+ subtly moving 3D flowers here. Plus a lot of tricks to make it performant across devices. (though if you see anything janky, lmk)

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

After a brutal stretch of winter weather in many parts of the U.S., especially the East Coast, there was an eagerness on Monday to grab on to any sign of hope for warmth. Punxsutawney Phil did not oblige.
Punxsutawney Phil Sees His Shadow, Leaving U.S. in the Cold
The supposedly meteorologically gifted rodent saw his shadow, suggesting several more weeks of winter. (Forecasters agreed, at least for this week.)

Paper Trails – 50 pre-war tourist maps from Japan, all beautifully illustrated & bound in a book. www.presentandcorrect.com/products/pap... Only available at P&C, because we made it.
It’s been a year and I use them but I have absolutely no idea what a passkey is. Half the time login fails with them and I have to do something else that works (like a password). I refuse to understand more. I’m tired of computers and don’t care. This is what it’s like for every non-nerd, isn’t it?
What are you favourite well-made apps and sites? Phones and computers alike. Doesn’t have to be “pretty,” but well-made according to whatever definition works for you.
GLSL Web CRT Shader I’m releasing my GLSL Web CRT Shader as open source. blog.gingerbeardman.com/2026/01/04/g... Have fun with it! 😎
After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible. Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.
Just in time software
I didn’t plan to write software in the grocery store last night. I was tired and hungry, kids in tow. My long shopping list sat in a text message. I wished I could check items off as I found them.…
