I finished the prototype demo video player for the prototypes we've made at Fast Forward Labs. We wanted something we could project at events/booths. It's a good overview of the machine learning prototype work we've been doing for over 4 years now!

Making a video player and figuring out some sizing. I'm continuing to explore doing almost all the layout as math in the render function.

So justified photo layouts are done by turning layout into a graph-traversal problem, and that approach is based on a dynamic line-breaking algorithm Donald Knuth and made for laying out text in TeX.

Moved part of my blog over to a new, grid-based layout which shows the browser-size at the top. Lots to clean-up but enjoying the move so far.

Trying out some of the grid stuff on my blog.

While thinking about layout/grids I've been looking at SSENSE's editorial stuff. The use of indents/different fonts is really interesting.

At the stage of working on this idea where I'm not sure if it is a really good one or not actually an idea at all.

Always enjoy going to @jxnblk's site to look something up and finding out how he's restyled the front-page. Looking default-minimal-styles good right now.

Projection (probably t-SNE) as interface for labeling data. Cool to see something where projection is the main interface.
