CLRClear
Geometric Enlightenment
An interactive web viewer and open design pipeline for 3D-printed polyhedral lamps whose mirrored faces make endless tunnels of LED light.
Storm track
Time runs across. Height is maximum sustained wind, read from each status's METAR. The red ring marks the current position, and the cone ahead of it assumes conditions persist. A dashed stretch spans two weeks or more without a report.
