"Client Email Helper" by Jessica Hische looks like a good guide for how to phrase things as a freelancer.

Experiments in CSS grid.

Experiencing a steep learning curve with GraphQL, but this query explorer is very nice and helping a lot.

I'm going to make a mini-site for our sci-fi stories using Gatsby.js.

Progress on the gifcities.org slack bot.

Skyclock, the average NYC sky color clock, is running on its temporary office display home.

I'm trying to make a slack bot that fetches a GIF from https://gifcities.org/. The formatting is taking a while but I'm getting there.

I'm going to add a 'featured' section to this blog. To highlight the arc of specific projects. Trying to decide on how I should display them.

Report packaging station.

The printed reports are here!

I had to rethink my "three.js for 2D visualization" notebook because it was getting too unwieldy. I broke out the camera section into its own notebook.

I was tired of scrolling up to the visualization as I work on this @observablehq notebook but then I realized it syncs automatically across windows so I just have two open side-by-side now.

Always inspired by stuff Jake Dow-Smith. Interesting interactions scoped down enough that they're not distracting.
