The bygone photos of people in offices
I am visiting the New York City office for my work this week. I am tagging along Kristen on her work trip and decided to into the office. It’s similar to the San Francisco office, has most of the elements, albeit toned down a ton and the population is sparse due to the pandemic. I’m…

I found this song on tik tok, like most songs I discover these days 😆

A retro on the Bookends alpha
From December to February, I was pushing hard on building out the Bookends app, especially during the end of year break that gave me about 10 days to work on it while being off work. It acted as a catalyst allowing me to launch a working version of the website and then start adding features.…

Some quotes by Albert Camus
Recently I’ve been listening to The Midnight Library by Matt Haig and I ran into a few quotes by Albert Camus like the following one: “You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.” I also went on the internet to find some more. “What I’m sure of is that you…

NuPhy Air75 review
I bought the Air75 from Nuphy as a gift for Kristen. It’s a low-profile wireless mechanical keyboard that comes Gatreon switches. The switch options are Blue, Red, or Brown. I got her the red switches due to their linear mechanism. I don’t have many thoughts about this keyboard because at $75, it sits perfectly in…

Connecting a relationship using a hook in Keystone.js 6
I’m writing this for the weary internet traveler because I spent 3 hours debugging this and finally had some coffee ☕️ and figured it out after running into a ton of errors. This is my desired outcome: every time a user signs up for my app, I want to associate the “Reader” role with that…

Packing up, and having a font for it
I’ve had a few interests this year, finding a good water enhancer (e.g. flavor mixes without sugar) being one of the recent ones but my interest this year has stayed pretty steady in typography. Mainly printing out labels has led me down rabbit holes of font families. I’m making labels for moving and I’ve found…
