Flickr has a lot of sunset photographs. Too many, some would say. To build this graph I collected just a few of them, by searching for photos that have been tagged “Sunset”. I collected only 100 photos from the hundreds posted each day of the preceding 365 days, so that the photos are evenly distributed […]

I put up a new Whitney Music Box variation for the holiday. Happy Halloween!

I had a fantabulous Friday up at Yahoo! doing the jbum dog & pony show for one of their regular developer talks. I showed a bunch of fun little projects from the past two years including various Flickr Hacks and the crowd favorite, the Whitney Music Box – always nice to see the “most hypnotic […]

If you’ve been here before, you may have noticed some changes in the look of the site. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’ve turned my site pink. As you travel around the tubes of the interwebs, you will notice many other sites have as well. This is not only a good way to raise awareness […]

I’m making some new varieties of Sudoku puzzles which will be added to the puzzle pages soon. Here is a preview of my new Jigoku (also known as Comparison or “Greater Than”) Sudoku puzzles: Challenging Tough Super Tough Insane I call these Jigoku because of their resemblence to Jigsaw puzzles. Jigoku also means hell in […]

The majority of folks visiting this website for puzzles prefer the easy and intermediate puzzles. However, there is a small but vocal contingent campaigning for hard puzzles. Yes, even harder than my “super toughs”. So, I’ve added a 6th difficulty level, insane, which includes the puzzles that I omit from the super-tough class as basically […]
