I've been working on a new piece for a while now, and one of the key elements I want it to include is a gentle wave of color change. It's not especially complicated code, but for some reason it's taken me a while to get it working quite right. After resorting to pen and paper to lay out the sequence, it's now performing to spec.

As far as I can tell, it’s only affecting stories.

Snowy Railings

Another snow storm has carpeted the city in white, but this time, the wind gusts kept the snow off the trees and railings, leaving them to stand out starkly.

Snow Day.

The snow settles on railings in different ways every snowstorm, due to the exact local temperature and wind conditions.

The religious fringe is always quick to announce that natural disasters are God's punishment of their personal pet peeves. Wondering what they will make of this giant arrow of a disaster pointing directly to Washington?

I don’t know what I did wrong (or maybe right?), but the “Flashes” tab on Flashes is giving me nothing but AI babes thrusting their breasts at me.

The Spirit of Tranportation, 1895, Karl Bitter.

I think it presciently captures all the frustrations and insanity of modern transport.

A very picturesque Philadelphia sunset, the clouds breaking up after the snowstorm this morning, through the extremely murky windows of the hotel.
