I used to write weeknotes—weekly recaps of Stuff—several years ago, with some regularity. Then I stopped. And now I’m trying again. My reasons for doing this are: Consolidating interesting links, things I find. I tend to yeet everything into the abyss of various ‘knowledge management systems’ (notion, raindrop,...

Like many internet girlies, I learned to code on tumblr dot com. My technical skills have never really progressed far beyond this (html and css), which has always been a source of embarrassment, but alas, I was simply not interested. My friend Faiz recently posted about some of his pet peeves about how Tumblr themes...

I’ve been into ‘planning’/‘journaling’ (and adjacent stationery hobbies) on and off for a long time. This year, I’ve been a lot more consistent at it, though not necessarily good. I define ‘good’ as writing a substantial amount of detail about a day, which usually takes more than 2 minutes, and often I am failing to...

I made my about page a while back. Here are some brief notes on it. my about page origin story In the past few years of this website’s existence, I didn’t have an about page. I always used my homepage to write a few (if any) lines about myself, and that was it. I find writing about myself to be really hard, which I...

Last weekend, I updated my homepage to feature some short comics that introduce different sections of my website. my homepage I made this because I had just attended a local comics festival and was freshly inspired—truly, the level of creativity and craft in comics is mindblowing—and of course, I like to try out...

kicking off 2023 (in february, lol), with a quick note about something I want to do: create small utility pages that I (and only me, this is not to satisfy anyone else) find useful, instead of googling them and having to fight junky SEO pages to get xyz info example: I repeatedly google lorem ipsum to get the actual...

Here’s a recap of my media consumption for the year. I track all this in my Media Diary. Film & TV This year, I watched 46 movies (wow!) and 15 TV shows (to varying degrees of completion). Here are my very scholarly highlights: Everything Everywhere All At Once – a whole Experience in theatres. This makes me want to...

I feel like this week has been an exceptionally good week for gamers, which has filled me with a sense of deep appreciation for getting into video games in the past few years. good for me, specifically. i’m gamers. a new season of Destiny started, which is always extremely exciting. I’m still kind of on...

This week I redesigned my homepage to look like chat bubbles. an introduction to myself, like i am texting you Writing vs. Texting I initially made this because 1) I was bored of my existing homepage, and 2) I wanted to try a format that made writing easier. This tweet from David Perell sums it up (highlighted...

It makes me feel depressed to give up, but I’m shelving my ~halloween website idea~ that I’m unable to finish before, well, Halloween. So, the context Back at the end of September, I started thinking about doing a fun spooky homepage on my site, because I enjoy fun spooky things and a homepage project seemed doable...

I’ve added my sketchbook back to the site nav. I can’t remember why I originally removed it. It may have been because I hid it on my homepage and thus had to also hide it in the site nav. Whatever the case, I’m over it. I put it back. It’s October now, which means it’s Inktober, which is why I’m thinking about my...

A standard heading: large, eye-catching text. It announces a new topic, organizes your writing, helps the reader skim. A small heading: it blends into the text.
