    How Old Are You in Space?

    Enter your birthday to see your age on every planet, plus your next birthday on each.

    The Living Ocean

    A fish with a transparent head, a shrimp that strikes twice, and animals filmed more than two miles down. Thirty-three photographs, with a short caption and research links for each.

  • A glowing spiral of gold and green points winding into a bright core, a Lorenz strange attractor rendered live on the GPU. 21 May 2026

    Obi Juan Algorithm: A Million Points of Light

    a million points of light you fly through in 3D, some deep structures from math, some algorithms you set running and watch work, all computed live.

  • A Gray's Anatomy engraving of the teeth set in the jaw. 21 May 2026

    The Optional Body

    an interactive descent through the parts of the body you can live without, from a spare foot bone to a heart on a machine.

    Sluice

    my own 2D mining game, free forever and playable right in the browser. Dig down, collect ore, sell it for fuel and upgrades, then go deeper. No win screen, just a deeper hole and a heavier haul.
