Pokemon X was my introduction to the series. This is my original childhood shiny Zygarde from the mystery gift event. After 8 years he is on my Switch in Legends Z-A! #shinyhunting

I did not realize you also had a blue sky account! Best news I’ve received all day.

The only thing more American than going to a baseball game, is going to a baseball game and not watching it.

I had “invite myself to a cool podcast I am in no way shape or form qualified to talk on” by chance can we make that come true too? 🥺

Sony compact disk player. Model Number is CDP-CX335

Found my next project! This old Sony 300CD player was at my local vintage audio for $20. I’m hoping it just needs some new belts.

Please do not fall for Walmarts extremely poorly veiled attempt to appeal to pathos by showing “they care” by giving you a “choice” between streaming services. They could give you both- they are just giving you one to cut costs. The choice of which one is just pretending like they care.

Indeed’s new ai career coach feels uncannily close to the career chip system from Futurama

I primarily listen to my music with physical media, it is infinitely better. However, I have wanted to try backing up my music files on Plex to listen to when I’m out and about during the week.

Finally got my DH-590 back in the living room. Going to watch Blade Runner for the 100th time!

If you can find one please share it- if you can’t I might just resort to building it myself because I have wanted one for a while.

Based on everyone’s reaction to Apple’s new UI / UX for iOS/MacOS/iPadOS/etc 26, I picked a really great time to switch to Linux. #Archbtw (never going to stop using that hashtag now)

I think it’s time to call it quits for the night. I’ll rice arch tomorrow. Goodnight Bluesky.

Default login screen for Arch Linux with Hyprland.

It’s alive!!! #Archbtw

Linux terminal installing packages.

Ok I definitely did something right…

I think I did something right…?

Black screen that says “Press Ctrl+h for help”.

20 minutes in and I’m already doing something wrong…

Is midnight a good time to start a project that will definitely take longer than expected? No. Is it what I'm choosing to do anyways? Yes. Going to be live skeeting this until I crash out.

I am fulling expecting to end up crashing out because I am not used to rolling release distros. Will probably be back on Mint in less than 3 months

I have never installed Arch, always went with a simple Mint installation. Guess its time to become a "real" Linux user. Going to spend the next few hours deciding on what I want to install with it. Wish me luck. #Linux

I haven’t used Linux in a while- I’m thinking about just full sending it and trying to install Arch on my main desktop.

After a few days of work, the front end is up and running! Sadly, no stick figures made the final cut… I’m still waiting on photos and text content, but once everything is in place I’ll share the live link.

Would absolutely love that!

It’s rather refreshing to see TTU doing good in football- haven’t had to watch broadway burn down this semester!

I don’t post new designs every day but I’m trying to get better about it! If you find other designers you should create a starter pack- I will follow it!

After I finish the project I’ve been working on this week that was my next one! Going full send and trying Arch Linux.

I do the same for videos, if I need a simple intro for a tutorial video for software I will throw together a quick slide and have it transition to a black screen and then splice it with my video. Much faster than animating an intro for a quick video.

I never thought to do that, I wish I had known that sooner

Figma mockup of an artist portfolio website using playful MS Paint placeholder images.

I pulled my sketches into Figma and as always I’m filling it with my patented MS Paint masterpiece placeholders. #UI #UX

Hand-drawn wireframe sketch of a portfolio website layout on an iPad.

I have started roughing out layouts on my iPad. It is extremely messy, but it helps me think through flow of the UI before jumping into Figma.
