  • Zero Branch

    I created a branching algorithm in Mathematica where every aspect of growth (e.g. number of branches, branching angle, length between nodes, etc.) - as well as how random (or not) those aspects are - is prescribed. I had endless hours of fun creating these. YouTube probably isn't the right format to enjoy this; consider pausing and really getting a good look at some of the patterns that grab you. There are a million little stories in each one.

  • Branching Algorithm Animator - Crown Shyness

    My first few experiments with a branching algorithm animator I built from scratch in Mathematica - I could watch it forever:)

  • A relative, common and harmless to you

    When I encountered this fella all by myself in late summer sun I let out an audible sound of astonishment and surprise

  • Mug-of-tea-sized Lake Michigan

    This is certainly always possible at any speed at any size, I’m guessing

  • Backside of storm that caused 8+ tornadoes in Chicago

    The atmosphere is a bubbling liquid only slower and gassier

  • Ray's Catch-All Sustainability Presentation

    As I state at the beginning, this is a rather disjointed presentation in which I call attention to pretty much ALL of the sustainability-related insights and ideas I have encountered over the past 10 years all collected in one place. I hope it is useful as food for thought.
