Imagine being comfortable with needles.
The FDA on Monday approved a pill version of the weight-loss injectable drug Wegovy, offering patients who fear or are uncomfortable with needles a more palatable option.
F.D.A. Approves Wegovy Weight-Loss Pill
The agency greenlit an oral version of the obesity drug Wegovy.

I try not to be a hater, but if you're giving a wedding toast this year I beg you not to read it off your phone. If you can't memorize it, it's too long.

Hey the Philadelphia Data Visualization Meetup is looking for two things:
1. A venue to host a bi-monthly meetup in Center City
2. A sponsor to cover costs for food and space.

We bring 50+ smart technologists, academics, journalists, etc together each event.

DM me if you're interested!

Day 13 of my posting some of my old @glitch.com projects.

This was a follow up to yesterday's, where I coded a gravity sim with oscillating gravity. You can see clusters form and then explode when the sign shifts.

Day 12 of me posting my old @glitch.com projects.

Technically not a glitch project, but a pre-cursor to all of them. This was the first one I wrote to see if html5 was fast enough for animation.

Maybe there needs to be additional meetings and reminders for DRIVERS TO STOP BLASTING THROUGH CROSSWALKS WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN THEM JFC
ah yes, the problem is with the high school runners, not the drunk, distracted, or dangerous drivers...OR the systems that allow drunk distracted and dangerous drivers to run amok sans consequences

I started these @glitch.com projects a long time before Glitch existed. In 2010 I was auto generating a lot of charts in Excel and the process was slow and awful. I started getting into @dataviz for real and realized js was fast enough to draw charts and animations.

Not sure I have enough worthwhile projects to make it to 25, but I have a few more.

Something like Cameo, but I can get one friend to give a video pep talk to another friend.
