I thought it’d be neat to create a universal tip jar for news. Make a simple button to click like a ❤️ as a widget that news sites put on each article. Users would set how much they want to spend each month on journalism — each month, divvy that amount to all the authors that the user ❤️ed.

New (to bsky) blog post! I made a modular split ergo fightstick to play fighting games with. Split design + tenting feet make it extremely comfortable. Modularity makes it easy to prototype different button layouts. More deets and process pics in the link. 💪🕹️ #fgc tinker.diy/posts/split-...

#birds in Vancouver. Also first time I've really tried editing anything in Darktable (trying to move away from Adobe Lightroom). More of an adjustment than I expected, but shows potential.

Wasn't sure I'd post much but recently decided to try sharing my photography here, so here's a shot from a recent trip to Vancouver. Sometime I'll try to get a website setup for it and delete instagram. #photography
