I've been writing for a while now. Mostly front-end development, random experiments and creative coding.

My most popular post that was on the first page of HN earlier this year: https://muffinman.io/blog/draw-svg-rope-using-javascript/

I'm pretty proud of my generative, pen plotted drawings: https://muffinman.io/art/

And one of my favorites: https://muffinman.io/blog/breaking-down-krypton/

Edit: Typo.




I was going to just reply with a link to Frank Zappa's Muffin Man, but then I thought I'd better just check to see if there was any direct influence, however vanishingly unlikely that seemed.

And lo! The footnote on the about page even has a link to the song.

My most played Zappa song, sitting just above Eat That Question, Peaches En Regalia, and Montana (apologies for how mainstream that selection is).

Going to see an unbelievably talented Zappa cover band in a couple of weeks, here's a sample of their wares:

Ha, I'm a big Zappa fan!

Fun story, while we were in high school, my friend's computer broke down. All of his music was on it, so I borrowed him a bunch of CDs. He really liked Zappa's "Strictly Commercial" compilation and he became obsessed. Fast forward a couple of years and he is the one sending me Zappa's bootlegs and weird recordings which I would probably never heard otherwise. He even created a compilation for me, which he named "Almost Commercial" and I cherish it dearly :)

And thanks for the video, they sound really good!


That rope article is great. I think my favorite part is the hand-drawn sketches from your notebook.


Thank you!

I'm proud of my scribbles and the whole process, but I didn't expect the post would explode on HN. It really made my day.
