If you've ever seen someone tweet some cool shader and thought "I don't really even know what a shader is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask" - I've written something just for you.

Did you know that SSDs use quantum tunnelling to store data? Or that we have to completely rewrite RAM every 30ms to prevent data from just dissipating? If you did, then you can probably skip this chapter on how computers store data:

Excited to finally share what I've been working on. Introducing Detax, a comprehensive suite of automated tax avoidance and money laundering tools. Our goal is to revolutionise the financial fraud industry by bringing it into the 21st century.

Last week, I published a chapter about color. It's fairly comprehensive:

The cool thing about shaders is I have no idea why anything works.
