  This phenomenon has been around for a long time, but it is still psychically jarring that when I plug my phone into my computer with a cable to sync some music, it says, enter your password to use "accessory."

In this example, the red dots represent the shape's vertices/anchor nodes (with a north, south east, west orientation). The green dots are the Bezier control points. It feels strange that the green control points are paired together by edge ra...

  @sideb0ard recommended this book in at a Cycling '74 Office Hours video stream. got a copy through my library and been messing around with p5.js and the concepts in the book. i have been wanting to experiment with the p5.js library for creating visuals and animations in a browser, but find it hard to relate to most of the imagery you see in p5 tutorials. i'm good with the code side, but need a little inspiration in the visual arena. i think this book provides exactly what i was...
