Hi, I'm Ivan. Welcome to my website! I write blog posts and book reviews here. You can find my contact information and a bit more about me on the about page. I'm always happy to hear from readers, and I do my best to reply to every email I get.
greatest hits:
- Flowers make a nice gift is a brief case for giving flowers as a gift that focuses on their impermanence as a benefit.
- Creating and morphing Lego faces with neural networks is a project write-up that'll interest people who like Lego or generative models. The post has a lot of cool pictures – at least I think they're cool.
- How to get pastel colors in your photos is a guide that shows photographers how to get a bright, pastel palette in their images.
