I'm going to add a 'featured' section to this blog. To highlight the arc of specific projects. Trying to decide on how I should display them.

My react jekyll post editor is now running off the Jekyll theme templates (rather than my hand-edited JSX ones). Cautiously optimistic about this one.

I finished my notebook on how the three.js camera works.

Report packaging station.

The printed reports are here!

I had to rethink my "three.js for 2D visualization" notebook because it was getting too unwieldy. I broke out the camera section into its own notebook.

I was tired of scrolling up to the visualization as I work on this @observablehq notebook but then I realized it syncs automatically across windows so I just have two open side-by-side now.

Always inspired by stuff Jake Dow-Smith. Interesting interactions scoped down enough that they're not distracting.

The first day of the average sky color clock running for (almost) the entire day.

The data only starts at 2:45 but I'm very happy with how the sky clock is shaping up. Looking forward to seeing a whole day in there.

Working on the brooklyn sky color clock. I got Micha's python code running locally. The sky hasn't change much since I started it up though.

Observable notebooks are a fun way to write about code. This one's getting really long and much more involved than I had planned, though.

I'm going to make an observable notebook.

I extended our blog post editor to handle are markdown newsletter emails as well. The newsletters require absolute links so I used marked's ability to custom block renders to create warnings when the necessary site.github.url prefix is not included.

I figured out a cross-site custom font issue, so now the blog-post editor is fully operational. Going to try and think of ways to generalize it so it can run on any github-hosted jekyll site.

The post editor edited this.

The markdown editor loads existing posts now.

I made the dialog for importing a markdown file. Now I just have to make it actually work.

Pumped I got this image library feature working for the post editor, slightly worried I'm going to end up recreating the wordpress admin by the time this is over.
