A Diagram to Explain the Various Magic the Gathering Formats
26 March 2024
I was struggling to explain the various formats of magic the gathering to my
friend, so I made this diagram using d2lang, a nifty diagram creation
language. There’s about 5 commonly played formats on paper and then there’s the
digital formats. Each format has different card pools and its own banlist to
enhance the health of the meta. Each format may also have different set
construction rules, but the only special one is commander.

Tire Pressure & The Polar Vortex in Jupyter Python
05 February 2023
I had low tire pressure yesterday due to the polar vortex, so I added
additional air to my tires to about 34PSI at 22F, today it is much warmer at
nearly 50F and the PSI went up more than I expected. Also the PSI doesn’t seem
to change as much from Spring to Summer, when the weather can swing up more
than 20 degrees from night to day. I decided to write some python to try to
figure this whole thing out using the Ideal Gas Law. Also no attempt was made
to account for the weight of the car, and how that adds pressure to tire.

Interactive Breadth First Search in a Grid
20 December 2020
Breadth first search(BFS) is a very powerful and useful algorithm for
exploring graph like structures. A BFS searches it’s nearest neighbors first
before moving on. It’s main use is to find a path using
the fewest hops. Here we use it to explore a grid that can be modified
by a user. In this grid, we have verticies (the grid boxes), and edges
(the box north, south, east and west).

Building the Lottery Data Viz
02 April 2019
I previously posted a lottery data visualization in which I
attempted to correlate how often a certain number came up in the PA
lottery given that some other number came up. I built the visualization
using Python, SQLite, and Chart.JS on the front end. Since, I like sql
I’ll about the queries and methods used. These methods could probably
be massively improved, but I did it in a couple of hours, because I was
bored.

Pa Lottery Data Viz Tool
20 March 2019
In this post, I provide access to a data visualizer for the Pennsylvania
lottery using data I pull regularly from their RSS feed. This tool uses
SQLite and some scripts to automatically pull data to this post which is
then visualized using Chart.js. I created histograms of the most
common drawn numbers for the drawings in which a particular number
appears, and you can see that visualized below in the charts.

My Relative Credit Card Spend
03 January 2019
I’ve had a credit card now for about 2 years, so I thought I would make
a cool visualization that shows my relative spend through out the year
on a daily basis. I think this plot came out to be relatively cool.
