"Image of the Day" Fabro Workflow
Every day for a while now I've been pulling a random card from a deck of Oblique Strategies and throwing it into a pipeline to generate an image for my digital picture frame in my office (and video chat background). This Fabro workflow encodes what I was already doing and gives me an easily repeatable way to keep doing it. Feel free to download it, remix it, and change it for your needs.

Sun Orbit Intuition
I saw a tweet the other day talking about how it was harder to "blast something into the sun" than it was to leave the solar system. I realized I didn't really have an intuition for why that was, so I had Claude build me an interactive toy to try to figure out why that's the case.

Highlight experiment
I felt the classic on/off highlighting with CSS was a bit too flickery. So I coded up this test to try out different ways to do it. "Smooth" uses movement (of one object) and "Fade" uses a an animation of multiple ones. Use the duration slider. This was more about human perception than technical implementation. I personally find a short "Fade" to be the best
