Experimental text layouts.

Latest tiling window management experiment: generating a grid background based on the screen dimensions.

Wave function collapse a face.

Unsuccessful parrot collapse so far.

Figuring out the rules. I'd like these to be more continuous, could clean up in a second pass, but it maybe I just need better first-pass combo rules...

Only clearing and regenerating neighbors on draw.

This strategy of matching on a sample of pixel colors looks fun.

Reworked the rules so I don't have to write so much by hand. Now with t-tiles and some different regen strategies.

Rects mostly working, I wonder if layering a few of these with different tilesets will end up being the way to go.

Image spreadsheet experiments.

Begin again.

Working on live edit text fonts.

Experimenting with limited color palettes as a way to make disparate images feel like they belong together.

The new wave of generative text models is impressive. It's also an opportunity to think about the purpose of reading (or listening to) information. Can generative models satisfy what I want from these activities? What do I want, really?

Why listen to an interview

I like interviews. I like reading and listening to interviews with authors or thinkers I like. When I listen, I think I'm generally looking for ways to understand their ideas better. If I've read their writing, then I've probably heard the distilled version of the argument. The cleanest and the best they could come up with. That's great, but sometimes it can be so clean it's hard to find a way in. Informal interviews, clumsier and with more digressions, can provide another way in, the messiness can be welcoming. It also helps remind me the author is a person, lessening the gulf between us. We're all just people trying to figure things out I think, there's comfort and closeness in that for me.
