Things I’ve built.

  • A map of the United States on Every Golden Dragon, shaded by how often sesame chicken appears on Chinese-American menus — about 68.6% nationally, darkest through the South and Northeast, palest in California and the Mountain West. A sidebar ranks the most common dishes. Interactive atlas Every Golden Dragon ↗ 10,000+ Chinese-American menus, mapped.
  • The Japan Train Explorer map with the Shinkansen network drawn in red from Fukuoka through Osaka and Tokyo up to Sapporo, station dots strung along it, and a panel offering starting points such as "Explore from Tokyo" and "Kyoto → Kanazawa". Interactive map Japan Train Explorer ↗ Every rail line and station in Japan, on one map.
  • Cradlesearch's page for the name Andrew — 1.3M babies, peak year 1987, best rank #5 in 1988, #68 in 2024 — above a chart of its popularity from 1880 to 2024 that climbs to a sharp spike in the late 1980s and falls away after it. Data explorer Cradlesearch ↗ 144 years of American baby names.
  • Four iPhone screens from Inkdrift: choosing between Chinese, Spanish and German; the word "caballero" tapped to reveal "knight; gentleman; horseman" in context; a shelf of starter books; and a page of Spanish prose with "pueblo" defined along the bottom. iPhone & iPad app Inkdrift: Graded Reader ↗ Learn languages by reading.
  • Darwin's sign-in screen: the wordmark above the line "Notes that keep up with you" and, below it, "A quiet place to write — organized into spaces, and shared with the people who need them." Notes app Darwin ↗ Notes that keep up with you.Sign-in required.
Ancient history

Older things.

  • The Dokibo home page: a dolphin drawn in sage green above the name and the line "Chat with friends to learn Chinese", a Get it on Google Play badge, and two Android screenshots — a list of chats, and a conversation where tapping 欢迎光临 reveals its pinyin and meaning under the message. 2018 · Android app Dokibo ↗ Chat with friends to learn Chinese.
  • The Chestnut page as it has stood since 2011: "Chestnut by astromme" in heavy dark green type on pale green, a paragraph explaining that it runs simulations on an NVidia card through CUDA, and a syntax-highlighted example filling a 2d array with random numbers using foreach and reduce. 2011 · Programming language Chestnut ↗ A simple programming language that compiles down to Cuda.
