Back from #Iran, and busy processing #photos. Working on #Kashan atm, struck by the elegance of the Agha Bozorg Masjid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agha_Bozorg_Mosque?wprov=sfla1

While parts of it date back 700 years, it was mostly constructed in the 1700s, and is noted for its bare domes and symmetry.

Cruising through complex #data (with #python and #glom): https://sedimental.org/cruising_through_data.html

Six techniques for wrangling tricky structures. Plus, more readable and actionable errors by overriding the default Python traceback.

Also co-released with glom 23.1 and my latest project, glompad, glom in the browser (with #pyscript/#pyodide). Take a look!

New year, new post: https://sedimental.org/intentional_creation.html

Well, not entirely new. This one's a director's cut with a few edits that didn't appear in the original version posted on GitHub's blog: https://github.com/readme/guides/intentional-creation

TL;DR: Lever yourself out of the quicksand of consumption overload by writing critiques and curating collections. Inspiration is sure to strike, and creativity will follow.
