About this site
The lab
Blaise Labs is where Pascal Okafor builds things: products meant to be used, tools made because another project needed them, and toys made for the fun of making them. It is one person, in Dublin.
Everything the lab makes gets a number and a place in the collection, and keeps both whether it ships, stalls or stays a toy. Each entry says plainly what state it is in and whether you can use it today.
More about Pascal at pascalokafor.com and on LinkedIn.
The mark
The first four rows of Pascal’s triangle, one dot for each number. Every number in them is odd except one: the 2 in the middle, the first number the triangle makes instead of starting with. That dot is blue.
Each entry in the collection carries the next row down. Stack them in order and you get the mark, then more of the triangle as the collection grows.

On the front page you can press the mark. A ball drops from the top and goes left or right at each dot. Drop enough of them and the piles underneath settle toward 1, 4, 6, 4, 1, which is the row that would come next.
