I spent some time poking around my inGraph backlog this morning trying to find a heart-shaped graph. Sadly, I could not find one…so I turned to The Google. After getting momentarily sidetracked listening to the first suggestion for “heart-shaped”, I found what I was looking for:

I found this remarkable. I love how it progresses from the simplest possible equation that produces something heart-like (even if it does also look a little like a butt) and moves through more complex alternatives, each giving a new shape - a different degree of “heartliness”.

Happy Valentine’s Day, folks. May your shoebox with a mail slot cut into the top be overflowing with miniature “Be Mine” heart candies.
