Math rabbit holes, interactive simulators, cybersecurity practice tools and hardware notes.

Simulators

Bobo Vector Automaton

Deterministic particle motion, closer to Conway's Life than to a gravity sim.

math

Rolling Skewered Cube

A cube on an axle, tracing out petals as it rolls.

math

Triangle Graph Transform

Turn a curve into the area of the triangle its normal line makes.

math

Infinite Graph Paper

Fits the whole graph on one sheet of paper

math

Nmap Simulator

Try different flags on a variety of targets and get feedback.

cybersecurity

Enum Simulator

Run canned enumeration commands on simulated targets.

cybersecurity

Fluid Density Simulator

Two fluids, one solid.

physics

Write-ups

Lattice Polygons

Counting shapes with 4 border points and 1 interior point. There are more than you'd think.

math

Slope Distance Coordinates

Like polar coordinates, but with slope instead of angle. Polynomials make knots.
