Not sure if it's the in-flight Wi-Fi, or some outage at spline.design (AWS?). I'm unable to generate .splinecode links to use on my website

Some people think they’re so smart because they know it’s helico-pter not heli-copter.

Officially off work for the next 5 days. How many new side projects should I start? 3? 6? 2 new domains?

Currently getting a "Wrong DID returned from server." error when trying to update the handle on the new account 😬

this is the highest praise
I don’t know what this is about but that this problem would happen to you could not be less surprising. I tried to help.
