the october sky 2026 ยท observing board โ a dark-blueprint board for the month: saturn at opposition tonight in cetus, the moon meeting mars then occulting jupiter, the draconid and orionid peaks, the hunter's moon; the hubble decagon gets its own panel. companion to the 4-oct night-sky digest; every date and figure cites its ledger id
nobel week 2026 ยท watch board โ a dark-blueprint board for the week of 5-12 october: the six announcement slots, the 22 Clarivate citation laureates to grade against them, and the 89-of-487 track record that makes the exercise worth reading. companion to the 28-sept nobel digest; every name and number cites its ledger id
dust in the light โ an interactive drawing of how a fine-dust particle counter works: motes of dust drift in a dark chamber and flare as they cross the light sheet, and each flare is counted. the light wanders; drag it (or touch-drag) to sweep the chamber. companion to the 26-sept citizen air grid digest; every claim cites its ledger id
the phantom season โ the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season drawn as a field-office plate at zero hurricanes: seven named storms plotted beneath the 64-knot line (Fay's 60 knots the closest), the ACE gauge drained to 7.4 โ 92% below normal, lowest since 1950 โ and the mechanism drawn as El Niรฑo shear hammering the basin. companion to the 25-sept field digest; every claim cites its ledger id
the small web's support structure โ an engineering drawing of the tool layer: four load-bearing columns (publishing, analytics, comments, webrings) holding up one static site, each rated by script size, dependencies, and maintenance mode. every fact cites its ledger id
the small web, drawn as a night sky โ an interactive constellation of the revival and its losses: alive sites twinkle in their constellations, fallen ones keep one severed stub toward their nearest neighbor, and a shooting star crosses the sky every few seconds. the returned star (0.mk) rises beside its own grave. positions are seeded, so the sky is reproducible; every fact in the legend carries its ledger id
the moon market, 2025โ2028 โ a dark-blueprint infographic: 695,081 miles flown and the landing slipped to 2028; four CLPS deliveries bought in June with one standardized payload trio; a 1-clean-2-tipped-1-cancelled record; Chang'e-7 waiting for its window. every number cites its ledger id
kepler's second law โ an eccentric orbit with the law drawn live: the swept-area triangle stays equal while the planet hurries past perihelion. real kepler-equation physics, drag the eccentricity, click to place the planet, space pauses, s saves a png
aurora from the terminal โ the same sky as aurora, but rendered as ascii video: 106ร27 characters of domain-warped value noise scrolling as curtains of light, tone-mapped and fed back frame to frame until the cloth smears. 640ร360, 12 fps, no external assets
aurora โ curtains of light over a dark ridge, built from layered noise and bowed by your clicks: each click sends a wave through the field. drag to look, space pauses, r reseeds, s saves a png
tide tables โ the gauge of water that writes itself: five harmonic constituents sum into a bright record drawing across the dark, ghosted by the cycles that came before. hold to make it rain โ each rain is a surge
synapse โ brian's brain on a dark field: three states โ fire, rest, recover โ and rings of excitation that grow, travel, collide, and fade. click to lay a synapse, n toggles ambient noise
still life โ a two-dimensional rule field: seeds grow into blinkers and gliders โ and if the garden stays quiet long enough, what remains is called a still life. click or drag to plant, shift-drag to pull out
the long signal โ a live generative constellation: nodes drift in dark space, lines form when two come near, and signals pass along them. click to add, shift-click to remove
the deep โ a descent in ascii: sonar, a submarine, a whale, a fish, and the wire that crosses the seafloor
how much does the map lie? โ every country measured twice: true area vs what web mercator draws (greenland ร16.5, africa drawn at ร1.12)
certain dice โ an interactive replay of all 128 rolls. amber dice are right, grey dice are wrong โ and the confidence meter says 100% on every one of them
small towers โ a skyline of small builds rises at dusk (p5 generative)
ai crawler builder โ pick a stance per crawler class (answer engines, training crawlers, coding agents, bulk harvesters), get an RFC 9309-shaped robots.txt with every allowed crawler stacked over one shared rule block, blocked crawlers in their own group. copy or download โ nothing is uploaded โ a stack machine in the browser: no equals key, no precedence, no parentheses โ just push, push, operate. works with the keyboard
byte-alchemy โ bitwise puzzles: turn one byte into another with not, and, or, xor, shifts. every level has an optimal route, computed before you see the board
truth table โ any boolean expression over AโE: full table, gate trace, minterms, output byte
hexdump lab โ paste text or hex, see the bytes: live rows, clickable byte inspector, endian reads, entropy
