I previously had my Mastodon account bridged to this platform, but thought I'd give hanging out here a shot, as opposed to having my posts mirrored.

About me: I like to draw on paper, I live on a sailboat in the Salish Sea, I love seabirds, making comics, and fermenting vegetables.
a sketchbook open to a page filled with panels for a comic. The art is drawn using pencils and a ballpoint pen, and featured two pointy-eared characters walking through the woods. a sketchbook page showing illustrated sea birds having a conversation using the phonetic alphabet. a self-published book named Wiktopher, the cover features a giant, long legged creature walking in the desert on all fours. A small sailboat(sandfin) is sailing in the sand, going in the opposite direction.

For those who are sick of the modern web, check out Wiby, a search engine that indexes old-style websites.

The yester-web wasn't overrun with commercial garbage, it was a way for hobbyists, computer-savvy ppl, & academics to talk about stuff they were personally interested in.

Wiby is a search engine for older style pages, lightweight and based on a subject of interest. Building a web more reminiscent of the early internet.

Made a page on my website with instructions on how to disable AI features for a variety of services (mainly the ones I encounter at the moment, will append to the list as I go).

The list so far includes Github, Google Services, Firefox and DuckDuckGo.

Microsoft's agentic OS is broken. Shocker.

Why not take the time to make a product that works well and that people can depend on?

In 2015 my partner and I started Hundred Rabbits, we've since sailed 23,559 NM(43,631 km), visited released 3 books, 9 tools, 7 games, and many more miscellaneous projects.

Today is our studio's 10 year anniversary 🐇🎉! Here is to many more years producing art while on the water!
rek is looking from over a divider inside the cabin of a sailboat. The view is from the navigation table, with a small lamp lighting up some papers, and an open laptop with a tablet sitting there. Day light is shining in from the sailboat's many large windows.

I like to sew in my free time ^^.

I made these arm warmers out of an old sweater yesterday. They're super soft and comfy.

My hands get cold a lot aboard my boat in the winter, so this helps.

My 2013 Macbook Air's power cord is so worn that the cover has split open near the connector. I covered it with heat shrink.
I do have a backup cord, but I like to extend the use of a thing for as long as possible ^^.

So grateful for the NPD's Dental Care Plan(CDCP). Just went to the dentist for the first time with 100% coverage :).
Up until this point I'd been paying visits out of pocket and it was making a big dent in my wallet each time. This makes such a big different to people like me.

I dressed up as Barrel(Nightmare Before Christmas) for Halloween.

Made an origami paper mask, paper bones(stuck on my clothes), and made some 3-toed feet out of an old pair of pants my mom was no longer using.

Recently I had a good week-long run where I had tons of social energy, during which start following people on here, taking part in conversations, sharing work, etc. It is exciting, energizing, and fun, but then eventually I run out of stamina and I've got nothing to give.
