Unearthing a treasure from the past and breathing new life into it. #Hueguru has been a dream for a decade, and now it's finally time to make it a reality. The whole family is wearing their Game Design and Prototyping hats!

After years of meticulous crafting, the blueprints were complete. A game so vibrant, so cerebrally tantalizing had been conceived that Josef Albers himself would have indulged in it on every subway ride. Prepare yourself for a kaleidoscopic journey! #Hueguru #HueguruIsComing

“For data to support truly creative outcomes, we must allow it to inform us of the facts so we can ask questions and experiment with the **adjacent possible** to discover the insights and potential that the raw data doesn’t provide.” —@billpardi medium.com/microsoft-design/…

Code size should be regarded as cost, e.g. "how many lines did we need to pay for feature X?" Or like weight in airplane construction. Too many coders believe that writing many lines of code for a given task means the task was important and challenging.

Made some more progress with my river render. Switched from using advected textures to Stefan Jeschke's Siggraph 2018 Wave Profile ideas. Looks much richer! #screenshotsaturday

Lake Eyre isn't really a lake. It's a salt pan in the Australian Outback. During the rainy season, it fills with shallow pools of water that reflect the sky above. Add in some mirrors and it becomes a dream-like wonderland wired.trib.al/jSp0Z98

First 1e6 integers, represented as binary vectors indicating their prime factors, and laid out using the sparse matrix support in @leland_mcinnes's UMAP dimensionality reduction algorithm. This is from a 1000000x78628 (!) binary matrix. Very pretty structure emerges.
