17 years of illegal gambling in Chicago.
A look into Chicago Police Department’s history of Gambling related incident reports. The data came from https://data.cityofchicago.org
Curious as to what caused the decline over the last 17 years. Are people gambling less, or are police enforcing less?

Visualizing the formation of Close-packing defects using equal spheres.
I rolled a bunch of balls into a closed container. The top of the container is invisible and only tall enough to fit one layer of balls. once the balls finish falling, they arrange themseleves into some pretty interesting patterns.
All the usual suspects showed up:
– Point Defects, Crystallographic defect (Highlighted by different colors)
– Grain Boundaries, Lattice Regions seperated by different angles.
Below are a couple animations I rendered displaying the formation of the interesting lattice patterns.
More fun with KEVA blocks.
