I love bezier curves. In community-college, it was the first time I ever encountered a subject that made me want to go do more research on my own. One of my core memories is toiling away for multiple nights when the rest of the house was asleep on my 2015 Macbook Pro, writing janky p5.js code and pressing refresh on the browser page over and over until suddenly, I started see real, beautiful curves blossom from my control points.
I just went back to dig up some old sources[0], and I can't believe this post is almost a decade old now. This guy's explainers and animations were leagues beyond any other resource I could find through Google searc at the time.
This is fucking fantastic. I wish the whole of the internet was like this. People enthusiastically sharing their own enthusiasm about learning something cool, and other enthusiasts finding it and going down their own rabbitholes. The internet is multimedia. It should be nothing _but_ people sharing knowledge. Thanks for writing this up.

Pretty much sums up why this site is my last bastion of solace on the web
