I built Loading Today ✨ A cozy OS-inspired escape for the @codetv.dev Hackathon that shows how much of the day has “loaded” so far with calming visuals, ambient sounds, and playful interactions. Select the CodeTV theme and watch the Web Dev Challenge episode in the TV app!

Onion skinning… but in 3D. Stacked image planes move toward the camera while opacity, filters, and transforms evolve across the stack. Everything is tweakable. Try weird values. Show me what you come up with! 🔗 codepen.io/vanholtzco/p...

Unpopular opinion: macOS Tahoe’s UI with a gradient + dark theme is chill. Finally trying desktop widgets, and so far they’re proving useful. Am I alone?

Slowly dialing in the office setup with some new lighting, fresh paint, and camera gear. Learning from talented creators on YouTube about cameras, lighting, writing, editing, and strategy. Getting there.

Eric stands behind a wooden desk in a modern home office, arms resting on the surface. He’s wearing a gray t-shirt and looking toward the camera. The room is softly lit with blue and green accent lights, multiple monitors, plants, and tech gear visible in the background.

My dad installed halo ceiling lights in my office yesterday. The eclipse-like effect is unreal. He also custom built the wood paneling and shelf with integrated LEDs. 🖤

An older man stands on a step ladder in a modern room, working with his hands at an open ceiling fixture. A white drop cloth covers furniture below him, and dark vertical wood paneling lines the walls.

A modern, dimly lit home office with blue ambient lighting. A circular recessed ceiling light glows softly above a desk setup with a computer, plants, and shelving, framed by dark wood-paneled walls.
