Querying a power outage database
I have been tracking power outage data using a technique I learned about from Simon Willison called git-scraping. The outages are broken down by city, a stylized version of the data looks like:

2pm seattle: 200 tacoma: 150
3pm tacoma: 140 # implied seattle = 0 …TIL: converting JSON using git-history
git-history is a tool created by Simon Willison, that makes it easy to work with data collected via git scraping.
It expects data in a particular format - a flat JSON array. If your data isn't already there, you can use the --convert option to run any python code to make …
video-to-sqlite

My idea was to create a Memento-ized version of an existing movie. If you haven't seen Memento, it's structured where the order of scenes …

Videosplatter is a tool to splat a video file into a mosaic of individual frames. It shows you at a glance the look and feel of the entire video.

Slay the Spire statistical analysis
Slay the Spire is a single-player strategy card game I enjoy. In it, you build a card deck to defeat successively harder enemies as you move up levels in the Spire.
I recently learned that they released a huge data dump of runs from real-world play.
The data set
It's …
