Hey Folks,

It's been a busy week! We have a working theory in our house that challenges cannot come singly, but always in pairs or trios!

Things I Made

I wound up diving into splines this week in a quest for brainwave-looking blob outlines. I can't take credit for this neat technique, George Francis had already done all the hard work of creating a spline utility. You'll notice the SVG path is completely blank, we add 6 equidistant points and then randomly move them — then the splines do the complicated bit of creating a smooth curve between the points! Spiffy! 😎
