Every AI/HCI paper I review now just sounds like this.

I'm delighted to announce the forensic recovery of the original single-stroke font data from Vib-Ribbon (1999) — exhumed from Playstation ROMs — and now part of my archive of procedural skeleton fonts for #p5js: github.com/golanlevin/p... #mediaArchaeology #typography #plotterArt #creativeCoding

I had the immense honour of being invited to work on the World Bank's Atlas of Global Development 2026 project last year and today it finally launched. I couldn't be more excited, it has been a career highlight to work with such an amazing team on this.

this seems very plausible www.warman.life/blog/2026-04...

I love this essay very much!!!!

One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com

Last chance! April 30th is the deadline (yes, only two weeks from today!) for submitting a paper to the @visualisingclimate.com summit. 📊 🇮🇹 Note: Uploading the FULL paper is required by that date! Same submission deadline, April 30th, for a ‘talk only’ (without a paper) 👉 visualisingclimate.com 👈

I've been working on a new shader language called "easl". The goal is to bring the conveniences you'd expect from a high-level language to the GPU. It's still got some rough edges, but if you're into shaders or creative coding you should check it out! More info in the thread 👇

[Worth reading] Ooof, I was not expecting to be mindblown on a Tuesday morning but here we are: "what if the exhaustion everybody feels isn't a moral failure but the completely rational response to being made responsible for an ecosystem of objects that never stop asking?"

Just released heerich.js, a tiny voxel engine that renders 3D scenes to SVG ╬ Boolean ops ◮ Oblique & perspective 𝑥 Zero dependencies ◌ Pure vector output, infinite scaling Named after Erwin Heerich's geometric cardboard sculptures. meodai.github.io/heerich/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=jndl...

The discourse around AI and coding tends to resolve into either anxiety about job displacement or hype about productivity gains. This week a secret third thing: a new generation of makers and explorers. newsletter.sachajudd.com/archive/unde...

I made a tiny tool for quickly sharing small datasets (< ~1000 rows) without uploading any data to a server. 🔗 ziptbl.com It compresses the data into the link itself, so there’s no account, hosting, or storage layer involved. Here's Florence Nightingale's famous 📊 data: ziptbl.com#d=eNpdlE-LGz...

people often don't appreciate how dramatically the intensity of knowledge work, especially in STEM, has changed in the last 60 years even prior to the advent of AI. tough to imagine that a scientist would spend most of their time literally plotting data

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤 A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.
