Ever spun the globe with your eyes closed to pick a random location? It sucks. You usually get oceans. I made a quick demo that spins the globe in a population-weighted way! When you "spin the globe," it selects a random location *weighted by population*. prismika.github.io/projects/ran...

I love things "of the year". Coin of the Year. Color of the Year. Allergen of the Year. I made a page on my website to keep track of a bunch of my favorites: prismika.github.io/projects/thi... I have strong opinions about the 2026 contest for European Tree of the Year. But I digress.

A crude modification of a famous tweet by @screaminbutcalm. The modified text reads:
writing a convex relaxation: Haha fuck yeah!! Yes!!
Analyzing my convex relaxation: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

The meme where the cartoon guy is looking at a butterfly. The man is labeled "me," the butterfly is labeled "Heraldry jargon," and the text at the bottom says "Is this a wavetable?"

"Mix with your ears, not your eyes" is timeless advice, but I'm still bad at it. But I've found a workaround: if there are a bunch of parameters I need to tweak, I just play the sound on a loop, map the parameters to a physical controller, and turn away from my screen while I tweak them.
