A lab for things
worth making.
Essays, ranked reviews, data toys, and small software with strong opinions. One person, a lot of curiosity, no feed to scroll.
Why this exists
No algorithm. No feed.
Just things worth making.
explosion.fun started as a way to rank everything I watched without forgetting why. It turned into a place to publish the experiments, arguments, and small tools that followed.
Small software, sharp edges.
Agents that apply to jobs, dashboards that take your attention seriously, charts that argue with the headline. Each project ships with the reasoning attached.

Reviews with a point of view.
A decade of films, series, books, anime, and manga, graded on fixed criteria so the ranking means something a year later. Plus notes from whatever I am building.

One score. Every category.
Every review is scored against the same rubric — story, character, script, direction, sound — and sorted into a leaderboard you can actually argue with.
