I saw this comic the other day, and it really framed the idea of learning well, distilling idea that the struggle _is_ learning.
🧵 (cw: AI) ...and that's one of my greatest concerns with AI today in education and learning.

Where was it? If it was around LA you can probably ask their community, there's a huge Dr Who cosplay circuit down there.
It's not me though, never had the striped suit.

Found an old video of it, but apparently I used it as a counterbalance and friends started calling it a raptor claw

Welp, no more guitar for me today. Tuning machine made a popping sound when I was re-tuning from drop-D, and there goes the 4th and 6th tuners.

Still don't quite like this version of it yet. Mosaics and cards just don't feel right, but eventually I'll get an iteration on it I actually like. I feel like I'm trying to mix whimsical with too clean, so back to the sketchbooks.

Will eventually bother to do a full redesign of my site, but got some base ideas out of AI. Great for colors and general feel but I've tried and failed more than a few times to get a proper ink mask for the top bar.

I was practicing typing, looking for new sites, and saw one let you practice in Javascript so I thought why not Ruby? Well I fed that prompt to AI and let it crack on a new Rails app with Tailwind / React and...

Slightly better but still need to reframe how I approach things with a more limited and hard to blend palette.

New keyboard is live for travel. QK75N with Gazzew Boba U4T silent 65g switches and SA profile Grand Budapest keycaps.
Kinda tempted to find GMK Amethyst or another lighter purple set though, this one leans pretty red.

Got a few guitar pieces from a quick practice recording.
First up is The Old Lime Tree by Sergei Rudnev.
Only the first few sections for now as it's a really difficult piece for me much past this point.

Might have a slight thing for suede shoes, especially boots. Mostly Carmina, though found the black pair of YSLs at a great price off of Poshmark.

Alt text for recipe, but the Fernet _makes_ this, and I have no idea why. It's a Dark and Stormy riff but real far off, but also just kinda works.

Still have a bit of frontend design skill, though I'm also being deliberately minimalist.
Using Poppins (bold) for headers and Inter for body text, both off of Google Fonts. Background image is my own, pulled colors from it for the headers. Debating on having the bg switch out for each area.
