Data, Durian, and Discovery | June 11, 2025
Creative Seeds
I may be on a break from posting new videos, but I’ve been busy exploring new creative directions. One of them is a series on data visualization!
I’m hoping to shift the format a bit, focusing more on how I come up with ideas and concepts, rather than just showing how to code. The idea’s still taking shape, but I’m excited about where it might lead. In the meantime, check out an old favorite above.
Spikingly Delicious
I took a little trip to Chanthaburi recently—a province known for being Thailand’s durian capital. I tried some fresh from the market (10/10 flavor, maybe 6/10 breathability), and each variety had its own distinct texture and taste. It got me thinking about how much nuance exists in things we usually group together. Still noodling on it, but there’s definitely a data sketch idea hiding in there somewhere.
Back to Basics
Even though I’ve used JavaScript for a while through p5.js, I realized there’s still a lot I hadn’t explored when it comes to how the web actually works. So this month, I’m filling in the gaps, learning how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fit together, along with commonly used tools.
It’s been exciting to finally connect the dots, and I’m hoping this deeper understanding will open up new directions for integrating other libraries and tools into future sketches and tutorials.
Until next week!
