jordan @jdan.me · 01/09/2026I've gotten super into 3D printing landscapes of places that are important to me. Here's Okutama and Fukuoka. They're interchangeable magnetic tiles. 1211
jordan @jdan.me · 27/06/2026Handheld devices were better when syncing data over the internet was an intentional decision. You couldn't send my palm pilot a "notification" - what a ridiculous premise. 151
jordan @jdan.me · 23/06/2026I'll probably make some keychains for myself (and publish a frame for doing so if I do!) but in the meantime feel free to make whatever your heart desires. The cool thing about good transit design is that these icons are bold, recognizable, and can fit whatever surroundings you wish. 000
jordan @jdan.me · 21/06/2026will host STLs somewhere for these! maybe I’ll make a second “frame” which has a hole for a keychain 010
jordan @jdan.me · 14/06/2026bought my son #fortnite as a reward for a month of gratitude journaling. does anyone know if this game has a #christianity mode? 060
jordan @jdan.me · 31/05/2026My father-in-law is an old school web developer. We were visiting the old Bootstrap landing page a few years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.” 2582
jordan @jdan.me · 24/05/2026I bought this stamp which can be rearranged to any calendar I want. It is very silly. 1170
jordan @jdan.me · 24/04/2026doing a new bit where if i see something really pretty i have to sit, do a puzzle, and take a photo with it 040
jordan @jdan.me · 23/04/2026Went for walk today on the Momozonogawa greenway 桃園川緑道, which was a river paved over in the 60s that’s nice a flower-lined pedestrian walkway 070
jordan @jdan.me · 17/04/2026If you ever find yourself in New Jersey *please* take NJ Transit out of West Orange. You won’t regret it. 040
jordan @jdan.me · 06/03/2026I made a programming language with “dynamic variable names” where variables are IDs like $abc123, and there’s a lookup table that maps to names depending on the “view” I choose 030
jordan @jdan.me · 01/02/2026Excited for this feature, available now on the jdan app testflight testflight.apple.com/join/HqCWYrwY 3120
jordan @jdan.me · 19/01/2026I’m building an app which is like twitter but i’m the only one allowed to post. I also added community notes which, you guessed it, only I can write TestFlight coming soon 5724
jordan @jdan.me · 20/12/2025For my vocab cards sometimes I have two or three clozes which create 2 or 3 cards in one swoop 010
jordan @jdan.me · 20/12/2025I have two types of Japanese cards (1) "Comprehension" to memorize nouns, verbs, and simple phrases. These are simple front/back with extra fields (2) "Vocabulary" to see words in sentences to help with grammatical structure. These are "cloze" cards in Anki. Common wisdom is to make them granular! 100
jordan @jdan.me · 20/12/2025Excited to announce my new MacBook is ready for computer programming 1290
jordan @jdan.me · 11/12/2025Did a big groan when I opened up Advent of Code this morning and saw a graph problem. I didn't feel good about pairing with Claude on it (what's the point of solving the problem at all?) so as retribution I had Claude generate some LaTeX explaining our solution and now I'm forcing myself to read it 1150
jordan @jdan.me · 06/12/2025this book has some nuggets of wisdom if you wish to adopt Anki or any SRS app fluent-forever.com/book/ has really changed my relationship with learning. legitimately look forward to making and customizing cards like this one. and because that I really do remember them after a few runs! 030
