Building an App with AI: Portland Heritage Trees on Android ▲ 2025 Code to Muscle | Built to live I built and published an Android app showcasing Portland's Heritage Trees. Every line of code was written in Claude Code. Every tree illustration was generated with Gemini. Here's how it came together...

Why Equity Efforts Stall

Equity is not about rescuing people from a rigorous system.

It is about designing a rigorous system that does not require rescue.

You Are The Algorithm: How We Shape the Systems That Shape Us ▲ joymath.me Joy Math

You Are The Algorithm asks where agency still lives inside systems designed to steer us.

Through behavior loops, algorithmic swarms and Jiu Jitsu, it traces how individual power reappears when we learn to see, and interrupt, the patterns shaping our lives.

Algebra: The Art of Mending What's Broken ▲ joymath.me Joy Math

What if algebra itself is an art of repair? From bone-setting to Japanese kintsugi, algebra reveals itself as a way to restore balance to our world both gently and as an act of rebellion.

Sad that opusplan and the ability to paste images into Claude code seems to have disappeared. Maybe I'm just confused?

Fold the five Platonic solids while unfolding their history, mathematical uniqueness, and place in nature, art, and the cosmos. This is a hands-on adventure.

Progressive Overload: More Plates, But That’s Okay ▲ 2025 Code to Muscle | Built to live Progressive overload works because small, consistent increases build strength over time. I proved it to myself by miscounting plates on the leg press and lifting heavier than planned.

I meant to add 10% to my leg press. Miscounted, added closer to 25%. It still felt steady. Progressive overload doesn’t need perfect math, just consistency.
