I was so obsessed with this character appearance that I reencoded the episode into an 11MB video file that would play on my iRiver mp3 player so I could microdose it in the bathroom of my first office job.

My iPhone updated and now the autocorrect is so bad. The great thing about hyper complex layered tech is that you’re working in a constant state of paranoia that shares the same brain space as conspiracy theories and religious anxiety. “_Did_ this get worse? Am I just tired?”

There’re perhaps only a half dozen movies that attempt to truly depict life after society breaks down. They’re all harrowing.

Holiday homes are kinda strange because someone will leave the worst shampoo you’ve ever smelled in your life and you’ll wash your hair with it for the next four summers.

I rate myself highly on the self-assessment every year in order to force my boss to explain why he thinks I deserve a lower mark. This past year the new boss just gave up and left all my high ratings intact. Performance review is psychological warfare.

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.
