I'm using washi tape to fix *all* of my UI design problems.
A UI design based on stationery, with pink sticky tabs showing button icons. Many pieces of washi tape are used to "secure" a UI panel to the screen.

This is the kind of tech I want to see! New and useful ways to interact with my surroundings, with a focus on the human experience, instead of a page from "1001 ways to extract rent".

The <br> tag is thus named because it places elements further away from each other, making them unable to share body heat. brrr 🥶

Currently running into a bit of a *new pickle emoji* with the ol' website. So, before being interactive, it needs to transfer about 8MB of images (after a ton of compression). For anyone who visits the site for the first time on mobile, it looks like this:

Noodle Cat: arguably the most important piece is Musée d’Orsay’s collection.
A painting of a white and orange cat… that has incredibly long noodle legs. It’s in an ornate gold frame, as it should be. The piece is called Le Chat Blanc, by Pierre Bonnard

Back in 2018, when I was struggling to figure out what it meant to be a designer who codes, I made this interactive story about a designer and a developer who fell in love (🥰 awww) They had a metaphorical baby (it me) and lots of glitchy interactions.

Been working on my website's editor a bunch lately! Specifically, all these things that don't do anything yet. Gonna' call this dev arc "🗻 The One Where We Build Bigger", because it's going to give me all the tools to more quickly make huge new areas! 😄

Kinda bummed that I cut my hand right as I was catching my stride fitness wise, but my attitude is surprisingly great about it. I can still do lower body exercises, core, and even upper body with bands. I can still eat well and get proper sleep. I can still go on walks.

Well wouldn't ya know it, someone made a spatial OS using Minecraft and Linux 😍 I don't think it's an "every file must have an in-world location" type of thing, but it's pretty close!

Spent the day tending the fields… Am ded 😵
Myself at the start of the day, in a forest. I have a beard and a backwards cap and a black shiny top. Myself in a field holding sheers. I have an exhausted expression on my face. I’m wearing a tight black long sleeve shirt, black shorts, and grey tights.

Khoa’s weird little cake of the year is a flan. It looks normal, but it has the texture and flavour of cheesecake. It’s delicious. 🤤
A little flan on a blue plate. There’s some caramel on top of it flowing over the sides.

Thank you Bernd, for quitting your job to make this sick game.
The board game Stone Age, with many wooden pieces, cards, and a stone age themed board."An image of the game designer, a man with a moustache and galsses named Bernd Brunnhofer. The writeup on the game box is as follows: The Designer:
            Bernd Brunnhofer was born in Graz, Austria, in 1946. After school he headed straight for Germany.
            He tried his hand in a variety of fields, but his creative mind wasn't well
            suited to the daily grind. So, in 1984, he gave up his day job as a sociology lecturer and began a career in game design and publishing with great success. Saint Petersburg won the Deutscher Spielpress in 2004, and Stone Age was nominated for the Spiel des Jahres in 2008.

Tried my hand at film photography with my mom's old Pentax SF10. This one is probably my favourite, shot in Greenwich park in July. The long grass looks like it's glowing, and that's exactly how it felt being there 😌

I've just shipped recipe tables on joshnesbitt.cooking: every recipe now has a single table showing how the ingredients flow through each step into the finished recipe. The idea comes from Juan Buis's RecipeTables.

I mean I'm not the smartest guy on Earth and I had no difficulty at all understanding what he's talking about here. What if "It's not that simple" or "Actually it's really complicated" are political versions of telling a four year old the McDonald's is closed because you don't want to stop.
