Creativity = Novelty + Usefulness
Creativity is underappreciated and often constrained as relevant only to artistic pursuits...this is wrong. Creativity is fundamental to every worthwhile activity and every valuable human achievement either is a creative act or is born from one.
Creativity isn't limited to making something look pretty or sound unique, it is the production of original, valuable, and meaningful ideas or solutions...combining knowledge, experiences, or materials in novel ways.
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi said that creativity occurs at the intersection of talent, domain knowledge, and social recognition. Radioactive Banana is concerned with creative problem solving and craftmanship across technology, business, and everyday life.
Generative AI creates new content by learning patterns from existing data. The results are simply derivatives of existing data but can be surprising and appear original. Having accepted AI for what it is, the interesting question is how to apply it to solve problems in novel and meaningful ways.
Logistics is the backbone of our economy and the foundation of modern life yet the full impact of emerging disruptive technologies has not yet transformed this industry. It's time to rethink and reimagine how we move goods around the country and the globe.
There's a term called a "design pattern". It's a reusable solution to a problem. It turns out that most things in the world match a finite set of patterns...whether it's machines,governments, businesses, or even how people think. There is leverage in learning to recognize these patterns.
Very few people understand that all money is debt. The only difference between money and debt is the interest rate. It turns out some monies are better than others and most fiat money has a very high hidden interest rate.
How does symmetric cryptography work? Generate a random shared symmetric key to encrypt and decrypt a message. This is the simplest form of cryptography and is prevalent in modern encryption.
How is asymmetric cryptography different from symmetric cryptography? Use a generated asymmetric public key to encrypt messages that can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key.
While you're busy not skipping leg day, this tool will help you analyze your squat form and improve your technique.
A project to demonstrate collision detection and projection in 2D space. Use the arrow keys to add and remove balls and to control the speed of the balls. This was tricky because projection looks into the future. D toggles the collision prediction on and off. HTML, Canvas, and JavaScript.
A simple snake game built with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Arrow keys move the snake to eat the apples. The snake grows longer when it eats apples. Uses the Howler.js library for sound effects. r for restart, p for pause, s for start, [ for slower, ] for faster.
Basically the same game as the basic snake game but the snake is a car. Uses the same controls as snake but the snake is a car...get it? Oh, and the background is a different color. Getting the car to rotate around the correct axis is a challenge.
Here we use basic physics to simulate a ball bouncing on a surface. The ball is affected by gravity and friction. The ball can receive energy with arrow keys and the window frame resizes smoothly with the browser window. HTML and JavaScript only.
This simulates a swarm of randomly colored and sized spheres flying around each other and bouncing off screen edges. Originally this was slow with only HTML & JavaScript but is much smoother now using Canavas. R to reset the swarm, P to pause. HTML, Canvas, and JavaScript.
Font Awesome is a library of icons that can be used in web projects and is used on this website. This project is a simple browser for finding icons from their large library. Saved me a lot of time.
Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle...a foundational text for the ethics of what it is to be a good human. Thousand of years later its still oddly relevant.
Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries - a critical look at the medical establishment and the role of the pharmaceutical industry in the treatment of disease.
Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton - a classic work on the nature of man and the universe.
