Coronal Mass Ejections and Great Tables
April 10th, 2024
Another API folks! Nasa has a coronal mass ejection api with a hilarious name. It's a good excuse to really kick duckdb into gear (spoiler: it's still amazing) and I'm taking a look at great tables
, a very cool table display library. It's got sparklines!
DuckDB and Saying Hi
April 6th, 2024
I refactored the art api for no reason other than I felt like it. Now I'm using duckdb in a convoluted but educational (to me) way. Also, it's been a while, so I oughta check in!
Search and Fonts
August 11th, 2023
I'm proud to say that I have not updated the version of python! Still rockin' the 3.11. I added a search bar, really leaning into some fun HTMX stuff. Also, it's using the sqlite full text search as a backend. Has anyone done that ever? I think not.

Heck yeah it works! Boo ya!
Does My RSS Feed Work? 1 of N.

Is making an RSS feed as simple as the name suggests? I have a suspicion that feeds update with changes to the preview content...let's see! Narrator: they do, but they don't appear as unread.
Let's Give HTMX a Try
April 4th, 2022
I saw a post about htmx and wanted to give it a whirl! It's basically an amped up markdown language, hence the radical X as opposed to the milk-toast L. I also talk about upgrading python, because sometimes you have to fix something that ain't broke just to feel.
Timelapse GIFs

I wanted to make gifs of the view outside my window and managed to make it really complicated.
NASA Asteroid API

We plot some oncoming near earth objects (c.o. another delightful NASA api).
NASA Image API

Now the NASA api! This time, just javascript.
The Met Art API
July 26th, 2020
A quick look at the Met's art api. I mention async python. I don't go into detail, because I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm trying to do a few things here. 1) Keep some sort of blog thing, 2) mess around with FastAPI, and 3) mess around with this nifty tufte.css.
