My System Hardware course in university involved building a computer using integrated circuits on a breadboard. This inspired me to make my own circuit using redstone in Minecraft (basically virtual electric circuits). I ended up implementing a Double Dabble algorithm to convert a binary input into a two-digit decimal number. Then, to display the result, I had to evaluate the expected binary values that trigger each "pixel" of the screen I built. This was quite easy thanks to Karnaugh maps!

If you heard an English word for the first time, how would you spell it? It turns out people will have a variety of answers for the same sounds. I recorded non-existent words being pronounced by 3 voice generators, then asked people on Reddit's r/SampleSize to write how they would intuitively spell it in English. I surprisingly got over 400 answers, which allowed me to make some cool graphs.

Minecraft Manhunt is a series by the YouTuber Dream that I followed quite closely in 2020. It involved Dream trying to beat the game while hunters tried to kill him. I spent a few days going through videos to visualize all the deaths in the series at the time and I think the result ended up looking really clean.

What is the most common hair color in anime? A question asked by philosophers for centuries. Well, the answer is black. I looked at the 500 most popular anime characters on MyAnimeList and plugged the results into a neat graph.
