This is a place for things which don't fit into the blog format of mikelynch.org
Creative coding
- Bookflock: part of a UTS project to visualise library collections
- FourJS: visualisations of 4D polytopes using ThreeJS
- poptimal: vibrant generative dot patterns made with d3 and Observable
- CATALOGUS STELLARUM: A catalogue of named stars with facetious definitions, implemented in d3
- SphereFlameJS: more ThreeJS code rendering flame fractals on a sphere
- A demo of weird SVG filters which I can't remember writing, I probably nicked it from somewhere in 2019 or so
Music
Every year I participate in Looptober, where people post a short loop or beat every day in October. This is a lot of fun but I tend to let tne music go in the other eleven months of the year, I'd like to change that in 2027.
- Looptober 2021: mostly SuperCollider
- Looptober 2022: mostly modular synth stuff
- Looptober 2023: combination of the modular and SuperCollider, probably best place to start
- Looptober 2024: a lot of noisy Arduino hacks
- Looptober 2025: I bought a Korg Volca beat box
- Looptober 2026: in progress, stay tuned!
- There are a few other odds and ends on my Faircamp page
Writing
Text which I wrote
- The Cremaster Cycle Cheat Sheet
- The archives of FSVO, a very niche Twitter alt where a lot of this material first showed up
- The Stepwise Palace, a combinatorial poem
