Radar picked up something unnaturally fast over western Michigan. Thankfully I was able to snap a pic as it passed through my office 🛸
We all want what Wall-E had, we all want to meet an elegant baddie that is low-key a little scary with it that you can show all your Items to
I just posted my keyboard collection online, in case that’s of interest to anyone! aresluna.org/my-keyboard-...

I don’t post about it as much, but I’m still designing rad icons! Pixel is here as part of the newly-released Font Awesome 7.3 — 244 icons ready for all your chunky, retro needs. 👾 fontawesome.com/icons/packs/...
look, every computer is getting more expensive but at least it's all for AI that no one wants
Spent the weekend eating deep dish and looking at keyboards. Highly recommended!
watching WWDC against my better judgement and it's amazing that even Apple's AI bullshit boils down to "hey siri do my parenting for me" or "hey siri, i don't want to look at the texts i had with my wife and remember all the fun little interactions we have just pull this one thing out of it for me"
I’ve been Merrily We Roll Along-pilled. The 2023 revival is so damn good!
I was only able to attend the final XOXO, but it was an incredible experience I’ll cherish forever.
One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com
I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!" but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question
I’m so tired of the tech hype machine. Idgaf how you’re optimizing with AI, what the hell are you doing for people? How are you making the world actually better? Idgaf what your job title is or what you’re selling. I could give two fucks about your manifesto or your stocks. Be a fucking human.
In addition to building keyboards, I’m trying to get better at photographing them 📸
