It's nice to have you here!
You've reached my
blog,
digital garden
and all around
playground.
What do I do?
I write code for the climate, because I believe that's the most impactful thing I could be doing.
In past lives, I've been a food & wine photographer, (involuntary) Instagram influencer and dabbled in data markets and cryptocurrencies.
I promise it makes sense (somewhat).
Fresh writings
The main reasons for this website is to host my blog (and play with some new tech). To get a sense of what you'll find, here is a selection of personal favorites.
Project in-residence: the Munsell solid
The first time I saw a representation of the Munsell color system, I was mesmerized. It was the first color system to separate hue, value and chroma (now commonly used in HSL and HSV) into three independent and perceptually uniform dimensions.
I also recently stumbled upon a fun little pseudo-3D library called Zdog, loved the philosophy and all the cool things people built with it. So, why not turn a little trip through color spaces into a nice 3D visualisation? Feel free to drag it around!
What's really interesting is that a lot of the colors from the original work, which used paints, cannot be translated into the RGB color space used for digital displays. Out of the 2745 original colors, 1537 of them can be represented in RGB.
I added an option to show the missing ones, mapped to the closest representable color. I will let you ponder on the implications this has on the color palette of some of our most popular medias, like film, video games or digital art.
The code is available on GitHub, including all the color transformations and the data itself in JSON format, if you want to have fun with it as well!
