"Caves"
I had a small puzzle RPG idea: you have to explore and find something, except that the “worlds” themselves would be easy to specify and shareable etc. Nothing very original, but still fun to make. I…
Of moons and planets
Something fascinating from an “amateur analysis” of the moon’s orbit — the sort of thing I’m sure a lot of people wish they did but never do. In other words, the Sun exerts more than twice as much gr…
Golden Sections
I was inspired by this short Randall Carlson episode to re-construct the diagram in Wolfram Mathematica. It is a geometric construction of "the golden mean", and then viewing it as a ratio,…
Circle Art
Some simple, quick, random (yet, it should be pointed out in this age of Dall-E, deliberate and human-made) art featuring colored circles: circles := Table[{RandomColor[], Disk[{RandomInteger[{…
On "butterfly" curves
A Wolfram Mathematica notebook inspired by this wikipedia article. (sadly, can't embed it properly, so a screenshot will have to do)…
Plotting diamonds
More Wolfram Mathematica fun, when my daughter wanted to make a "diamond shape" in "hot pink". Here's the "source of truth": And here's the rendering in Mathema…
Geometrick T-shirts
I had a T-shirt with a certain pattern that was fading out. I didn't know at the time that this had a name, and later learned it was a geometrical pattern that had certain interesting connections.…
Makers of Pizza
I went to pick up a pizza yesterday, which we sometimes order from this place that's about a ten-minute walk away. As I was waiting to pick it up and pay for it, I was able to see how the pizza w…
Polar Primes
This "five minutes of Wolfram Language" exercise can be surprisingly therapeutic :-) I had come across something interesting today: However, I then wanted to try it out on my own. These…
Wolfram Language "dashboards"
Playing around with Mathematica for a few minutes. Or rather, using it to play around. I'm trying to figure out the "least B.S." portions of "web3/defi/whatever". So far, a l…
A first NFT
I took one of Tara's drawings from last year and placed it on OpenSea. Mostly just to see what the experience is like. So here it is, "A princess, her castle, and an apple tree". For…
