2026 April 11: Hardly Working

In which I expend much effort to create something that will only marginally improve efficiency, and in the end may be just as much or more work as before.

2026 February 13: Rewatchability

In which I consider my critical stance on movies, and how that is or is not related to any actual cinematographic merit.

In which we go see Robert Eggers's new version of Nosferatu, and reflect on the experience in itself, and compared to the original.

2024 December 5: O.T.

In which I experience the highs and lows of overtime work for the (gasp!) very first time in my life. Is it for me? Will I exploit it for all the time-and-a-half it pays?

2024 November
In which I wax nostalgic about HTML—mourn what might have been—boogie down to Fear & Delight—unveil an old 2D side-scroller experiment—and finally discovering (possibly already much superseded) web components.

2024 November 23: Componentized

In which web components are discovered and implemented, and there is much rejoicing to be had. The benefits of thinking out loud.

In which I present my incredibly janky foray into an unfinished interactive 2D side-scroller featuring a crow.

In which...; fuck.

2024 November 2: Ancient HTML

In which I look back on my excursions with web design, specifically with HTML and CSS, over the past couple decades. Yes, decades.

2024 October
In which I introduce my intentions with this homebrew blog—discourse a bit about why I've called it what it is—go over some various project ideas—dive into one of them (simple pixel animation)—going to see a silent horror film classic—and toxic positivity, of all things.
