The Physics That Sounds Made Up
time bends, a single particle goes through two doors at once, and two specks of matter can share one fate across a galaxy. a beginner's field guide to the two theories that broke common sense, relativity and quantum mechanics, one strange idea at a time, with honest analogies and a lot of pictures.

The Far Side of the Body
a field guide to the human body at the ends of its range, from agony and ecstasy to strange sleep and real superpowers. the same gene that means a life on fire, turned the other way, means a life with no pain at all.

How Old Are You in Space?
enter your birthday and see your age on every planet, counted in each world's own years, with a countdown to your next birthday on each.
-

The Living Ocean
a mostly wordless dive through the ocean in three dozen high-resolution photographs, from tide pools and coral reefs to the deep sea, hydrothermal vents, and creatures named only last year.
-

Obi Juan Algorithm
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.
-

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.
-

The Old Masters
a small private gallery. Storms and saints, harvest fields and harbour scenes.
-

The Ghost in the Swarm
100,000 particles obey three lines of math on the GPU, while an invisible field steers the swarm through sacred geometry.

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.

Daylight Globe
a small WebGL globe for the day/night line, daylight hours, and sunrise/set.

Rendering Particles Without a Canvas
three physics demos with no canvas, no WebGL, no SVG. The whole renderer is one CSS property on a 1px div.
