#OnThisDay in 1861, Charles Darwin wrote to his friend, "But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything." 📜🧪

A line of Charles Darwin's handwriting in brown ink on cream paper, with faint writing showing through from the other side of the page. It reads: "But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything."

IKEA names its sofas after Swedish places, and most of its armchairs follow the same rule. IKEA Sweden sells 64 of them right now, and I put every one on a map. Pick a sofa or armchair and see where it comes from! karaman.is/ikea-place-n... #dataviz #maps

A web page titled "The IKEA place-name map". On the left, a dropdown has MALMKÖPING selected. Below it is a photo of a beige 3-seat sofa priced from 7 295 kr, and it is placed in Flens kommun, Södermanlands län. On the right is a map of Sweden with dots for sofas, armchairs and places that have both. Most dots are in the south, and Älmhult, IKEA's home town, is marked with a red cross.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Want to embed your @observablehq.com notebook cells in a Powerpoint-style presentation? I've created a tutorial and an interface to reveal.js that allows web-sharable interactive Observable cells to be embedded in full screen presentations. observablehq.com/@jwolondon/o...

Example slide with a pale cream background from a presentation that uses slideshow.

The slide shows a large square labelled 'Camden' in its bottom-left corner and five rows of small squares forming 15 horizontal bars aligned from the right of the large square. Each set of three rows shows a pale colour and sometimes darker colour in green, red, orange, blue and cyan from top to bottom. They represent political parties Greens, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Conservative and Reform respectively. To the right adjacent to the three orange bars are text labels saying 'alphabetically first within party', 'alphabetically second within party' and 'alphabetically third within party'. These form part of a visual explanation of the chart. Below the square and annotation is a legend across the slide width relating each of the colours to the political parties and 'unelected / elected' labels above the pale and darker version of each colour.

As LLMs make it increasingly convenient to get answers without understanding how stuff works. I think P5 is more important than ever. I learned by experimenting and figuring stuff by myself. If you did as well, please consider donating to the P5: processingfoundation.org/support/donate/

I haven't done any creative coding in a long while. I set a goal to post at least four pieces this week. After many minutes staring at a black screen and beginning to get worried, my brain somehow came up with this. I'll take it. #CreativeCode

After testing 100s of imgs comparing tiny and big changes to the algo: I am now confident to present to you: The new okpalette.color.pizza. Powerful as before, ~40% faster, better at detecting good presets and much better at finding rare colors! Test it with your pics and let me know what you think

They're playing "Midnight in a Perfect World" by DJ Shadow on 6Music right now to celebrate 30 years since the release of "Endtroducing". My favourite album of all time. One of my great regrets is not saying hello to him when we were both eating in Wagamamas before his Brighton show. 😭

There's a 10% chance that Rowboat will kill us all before the end of the decade. Until then, I hope you'll find it's drastically faster, more accurate, less expensive, and more fun than using an LLM to play with large datasets. Our latest: buttondown.com/rowboat/arch... Give it a try: rowboat.net
