OvercastData.com just got a lot more flexible! Mario Torres Jr and I just launched support for custom locations. Now anywhere there is nearby data is supported. For example, you can find the average weather in Barcelona at https://www.overcastdata.com/en/custom-location?lat=41.3874&lon=2.1686

I collected over 1,000 data points (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IOJa0-vUQVRxHEFc03lCVryf8hbNYOQSsqcdaQkux5A/edit?usp=sharing) to see how fast the copper golems can be and summarized my findings in a video:

TL;DR / TL;DW: copper golems aren't quite fast enough to keep up with a basic automatic moss farm, but maybe that's a good thing? What do you think? If someone goes to the effort of building a redstone item sorter, should it be faster than a copper golem?

I wrote another deep dive into some of the math behind the weather. This one explains how we calculate average first and last frost dates. https://www.overcastdata.com/en/blog/when-to-plant-mathematics-of-frost-dates/

I'm quite proud of this one and am excited to dive deeper into some questions this raises in future posts.

P.S. I made some accompanying #pixelart again. This one has Data protecting some seedlings from frost.

Just made my first post about why I'm making a weather data app: https://www.overcastdata.com/en/blog/why-overcast-data/ along with some accompanying #pixelart.

Iowa counties by which liquor has the highest Cohen's h compared to the average distribution across the state as a whole.

In other words, if I were to visit this county, what should I order that makes this county different from the others in Iowa?

The Palette and Chisel art academy hosted an all day Memorial Day Art Marathon yesterday. I had a great time practicing my physical drawing skills and experimenting with colors and materials.

This squiggly pen technique (scumbling) has a similar feel to my native pixel art: limited palette and physical limitations on fine detail.

Found myself participating a bit in #Genuary today. Here are some circles packed in an 11" x 8.5" sheet.
