Thrilled to hear from you, Neil—didn't realize you were on this site. Pink Trombone is a piece of pure genius. I'll be giving my simplified version to students for creative-coding design experiments (puppeteering, face-tracking UI, etc.) and will be sure to share the results with you!

We present a simplified, p5.js version of the vocal tract synthesizer from Neil Thapen's popular Pink Trombone, adapted for use in a creative coding assignment concerned with interaction design and absurd puppeteering.

Crazy new killer app idea for creativity: it’s okay for beginners to make bad art, just let them

It's a good point. In Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Thai (and some dialects of Greek, Turkish, Persian, and Arabic), "B" and "V" are pronounced identically.

Feeling nostalgic for vacuum fluorescent displays of my youth, I've added p5.js implementations of 7, 14, and 16-segment procedural typefaces to my archive of p5-single-line-font-resources: github.com/golanlevin/p...

Thank you. I think porting/preserving someone's code is one of the highest forms of praise. JT's "Textension" piece was a bit of brilliance that needs to be rescued in full.

Lactaid on the counter of an ice cream parlor

One of the ice cream shops in my neighborhood sells Lactaid at the counter for 50¢. I asked them how many people buy them and they said roughly 1 per hour. Alas, I've tried numerous times but can't seem to convince the other place, whose ice cream I prefer, to do the same.
