Starred Posts
These are the posts that I am the absolute proudest of and want to show off the most! All in one convenient tab.
Educational Infographics
I love making posters and other graphic works that make certain topics more intuitive and easier to understand, even if they are oddly specific.
Earth’s Elevations Visualized
I’ll seriously be stretching out the limits of my hosting service with this one.

The 500 Largest Cities on a Grid
When I started getting into Graphic Design one of the first things I started doing was data-visualization. I found it fascinating to be able to visualize boring sets of numbers into something that’s more digestible and accessible. It’s especially fascinated me when it’s something well known but that most people

A Presentation On Colour Modes
On September 2025 for an academic project I created a presentation about different types of colour modes, which are different ways that colours behave and are represented. Due to some unforseen circumstances, it never ended up being seen by anybody (I think). However, I was extremely proud of this presentation,

The 10 Most Connected Airports
As I might’ve mentioned previously, due to me going on a trip outside my country for the first time in 2 years, I’ve been in a mood to research about aviation stuff! A bit ago I made an infographic showing the most common letters in airport codes, and today I

Graphic Design & Art
Apart from my infographics, I generally love to create visual things! Most of the time these are from posters and generally interesting designs, but I also sometimes dabble into traditional art.
My Logo For SD Winter 2026!
Today I wanna share an artsy thing that I am incredibly proud of accomplishing! I’ve been thinking for a while about creating the poster and/or logo for the speedcubing competitions in my country. I love graphic design in general, so it felt obvious to combine it with one of

The Galilean Moons Personified
Earlier today I was binging some of Hank Green’s videos and I was watching his video on the Galilean moons, the four large moons of Jupiter that all have incredibly unique characteristics. They were discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei and were the first ever true astronomical discovery, as in

In Six Triangles
Following my previous project of 25 Squares, Circles, and Stars, I recently had another one where I had to create three works of the same theme using the same type of shape the same number of times. I could either choose between triangles, perfect squares, and perfect circles, which I

Video Game Details
I play quite a bit of video games and I love to talk about them, and I sometimes focus on very specific aspects of them. These are sometimes about things that I want to shed some light on, whether they are overlooked or generally unknown.
The Death Cube Coincidence
An extremely silly coincidence relating to Portal’s cut content.

The Original Paints of Pocket Planes
Pictured above is a photo from a screen recording I took on December 2021. At this point Pocket Planes had not received an update since February 2017, and wouldn’t for about five months after I took that video. I don’t remember why exactly I took that video, probably just boredom,

The Evolving Style of Source Games
I finally got around to purchasing the Left 4 Dead games by Valve recently! Although I haven’t had the chance to play them properly yet, I have spent some time messing around with the maps on GMod and going through their developer commentaries, and I’ve really liked them! I only

Custom Game Levels
A lot of games I play have level editors or some other form of creative tool, and I have been getting better at making stuff and actually sharing it!
Some BFDIA 5b Levels
Today is the thirteenth anniversary of Battle for Dream Island Again 5b! It was part of the monumental BFDIA 5, which was such a large episode for its time that it had to be split up into five parts and took 8 months to finish. The second part was not

Code Red - Finishing a Geometry Dash Level
I’ve mentioned before that in video games I have a bad habit of not finishing my projects, especially ones that I’ve thought about releasing publicly. I’ve talked about my unreleased Labyrinth 2 levels previously, but the game that is probably the worst for me regarding this is Geometry Dash. I

My Unreleased* Labyrinth 2 Levels

Miscellaneous
Things that I still feel are worth having here, but don't really know where I could strictly categorize them.
My Cube Collection - Bottom Shelf Misc. (Part 3)
Read Part 2 here! To finish off the tour of my cubeshelf, I will now be showcasing the eleven miscellaneous cubes that I have on the right side of my bottom shelf. These are all Non-WCA puzzles that I like to keep handy and often solve just for fun. Although

The Lost PS3 Minecraft Achievements (Release – DLC 3)
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I recently brought over my sister’s PlayStation 3 from my dad’s house to mine, and so I have been using it more often (though not as much as I want to since the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi aren’t working). I have gotten some more

Santo Domingo Winter 2026 (Day 1/2)
Today is the first day of the Santo Domingo Winter 2026 speedcubing competition! Also known as the day where Karl just can’t make the cut (mostly). For this competition I’m competing in the same events as SD Otoño 2025, but the schedule this time is slightly different as 4x4 is

Getting Into Pocket Trains
One of my favourite mobile game developers of all time is a studio called NimbleBit! They created a bunch of mobile games back in the early 2010s that I really love, and they were specifically most famous for their simulator games. To be specific, their biggest games were Tiny Tower

Pluto’s Pre-Photography Render
The thing that really made me get into astronomy was videos that compared the sizes of objects. The first one I ever saw was by JXGaming as a kid, and I was absolutely obsessed with them for years since. There is something about these older videos, though, that I didn’t
