  • Coding Color 01February 19, 2023
    I’m embarking on a new series of posts about coding color. And I’m pretty excited about this one. Color is Complicated … in which I attempt to overwhelm the reader by listing out everything you could possibly write about color.…
  • Coding Curves 14: Miscellaneous CurvesFebruary 17, 2023
    Chapter 14 of Coding Curves This is the last planned chapter of this series. I might add another one here or there in the future if I find a new interesting curve to write about. There were also a couple…
  • Coding Curves 13: Superellipses and SuperformulasJanuary 22, 2023
    Chapter 13 of Coding Curves In this chapter we’ll be talking about some interesting shapes. Superellipses are quite useful in design and UI work, especially a specific superellipse we’ve come to know affectionately as the “squircle”. These are basically rounded…
  • Coding Curves 12: Guilloche PatternsJanuary 16, 2023
    Chapter 12 of Coding Curves Guilloche patterns are very intricate and fascinating patterns. You’ll often find them on bank notes and other official documents as well as watches and other intricate machinery. Because they are so intricate and complex, and…
  • Coding Curves 11: RosesJanuary 8, 2023
    Chapter 11 of Coding Curves Now we come to another one of my favorite types of curves – roses or rose curves. To me, these look a lot like circular Lissajous curves, or very regular harmonographs. In fact, they are a…
  • 2022 in ReviewDecember 31, 2022
    I’ll keep this light this year. Professionally, a strange and difficult year. But at least I still have a job, so I’m grateful for that. Beyond the job though, I did do some fun coding projects. Probably the biggest was…
  • Coding Curves 10: SpiralsDecember 16, 2022
    Chapter 10 of Coding Curves OK, let’s talk spirals. Spirals are a lot like circles, in that they are a set of points with a distance relationship to a fixed center point. But unlike circles, where that distance is fixed,…
  • Coding Curves 09: Roulette CurvesDecember 14, 2022
    Chapter 9 of Coding Curves Initially I was going to title this chapter “Trochoids and Cycloids”. I thought they were two different, but related things. As I got into it, I realized I was very confused about what each thing…
  • Coding Curves 08: Bézier CurvesDecember 12, 2022
    Chapter 8 of the Coding Curves Series I had to hold myself back here. Bézier curves are fun to program, fascinating to explore, and you can go down a deep hole in explaining how they are constructed and what the formulas…
  • Goodbye TwitterDecember 12, 2022
    I’ll keep this brief. I’m leaving Twitter after 16 years. A tough decision. 8000 followers. Lots of history. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience. But the platform is in a very different place now and I just don’t want to…
