Big explosion of day lilies today, so I couldn't resist taking a shot.
Here was something I dropped before I decided to just do lots of emojos.
I wanted to learn human anatomy for drawing but wanted better visual breakdowns of it and was disappointed by the material I could find. So I decided to try to build my own models of understanding from drawing books as well as public domain medical anatomical texts, and I came up with this idea of breaking down muscle insertions/origins as if it was some kind of metro diagram.
Attention international convention organizers: Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" is not the appropriate music for introducing a bunch of filthy rich old geezers, 92% of them white.

Base phi (phinary) is like binary. Instead of using 2, it uses the irrational number phi (golden ratio)
It works similarly to fibonacci numbers. Consecutive digits add up to the next:
11=100
11110=101000
What’s cool is that it makes it easy to do maths with some irrational numbers. Most non-recurring base phi numbers are irrational; however, these are the integers:
1= 1
2= 10.01
3= 100.01
4= 101.01
5= 1000.1001
So… this may be a bit left field, but I want to make base phi a meme…

One fun thing I discovered about Visual Chatbot: no matter what the photo is of, it will always report there are at least a couple giraffes.
It learned from answers that humans gave, and apparently nobody ever asked "how many giraffes are there?" when the answer was zero.

Most helpful statement of the year, from @ColinTheMathmo: "That's a list of 10 (in some base)"
Tired: Functional programming makes you a useless programmer commercially because you get used to features that aren't in commercially-used languages
Wired: Functional programming makes you a useless programmer commercially because it's a gateway into building programming languages and therefore mathematical philosophy which reveals that the so-called "objective truth" of mathematics is built upon extremely subjective assumptions.
