I meant to write a comprehensive post about my site redesign, but honestly I’ve run out of steam and instead I’m just going to write some messy notes for the sake of actually publishing it. Context: I redesigned my site the other week!...
I started building a to do app, which is really more of a journaling app. I’ve reached the point of getting tired of the build process though, so I’m switching to writing about it to reboot my brain. This post is intended to be a public...

I published this site redesign last month knowing it was imperfect, and I’ve finally returned to it to fix all the little details that weren’t great. Typography I changed up my typography with the redesign, which was cool and fun at...

I set up my blog so that I could include a table of contents to long posts if I want to. It’s based on what headings I have. Currently, I’ve set it to work only with <h2> tags, as I rarely go deeper than that. Here's how it currently...
I made Lost Sector Today to display the day’s rotating activity in Destiny 2, a game I spend too much time playing and thinking about. This information is available on other resource sites, but I made this because I wanted the info to be...

Back from April 2021. I like flowers. Portra 160, shot at 200.
I built out a media diary of stuff I watch, because I don’t enjoy using letterboxd and I’m on an eternal quest of reinventing existing platforms on my own site, because I like controlling how things look and work. 🌟 The Eleventy...
