This repo represents an internal tool that works as a web app on Cloud Run.

If you asked me five years, or one year, or one month ago if this was something I'd thought I'd be doing in my spare time, I would have said nope.

the little joys in using the munsell package in R and testing out colours
R munsell package output for complement_slice("5B"). The image shows two Munsell color charts side by side, representing complementary hues: "5YR" (Yellow-Red) on the left and "5B" (Blue) on the right. Each chart is organized in a grid. The colors transition vertically from light (high value) at the top to dark (low value) at the bottom. Horizontally, the colors progress from neutral gray (N) in the center to increasingly intense hues (high chroma) toward the edges. The 5YR chart features warm, orangish tones, while the 5B chart features cool, bluish tones.

Alas, the streak is over (with the least characteristic Ovechkin goal ever to boot).

The BlueSky accessibility settings has a good feature requiring alt text before posting.

Everyone should go turn this on.

Opened up the ol' RStudio to see if I could still make data visualisations. Came up with a waffle chart for #Flames draft picks, seeing as shared Flames misery is always on brand.
NHL games played by Calgary Flames draft picks by year. A waffle column chart plots every game played by Flames draft picks from the 2009 to 2023 draft classes. A trend seen is that very few NHL games have been played by the from the 2018 to 2023 classes. Chart by Bill Tran | @wincolumnCGY | thewincolumn.ca | Data: hockey-reference.com
