screenshot of two playlists, 'Metal Hits' with a cover photo of Sleep Token's lead singer, and 'Heavy Hitters' with a cover photo of Ronnie Radke, the worst human in metal. Get fucked Ronald.

final prep for course launch is going well
still from a video in a video player. a man in a purple t-shirt is looking down towards shrek peeking over the man's right shoulder. there is clearly some sexual tension, an electricity felt even through this static artifact.

git commit -am "da horns babeyyy"
screenshot of a website in a lo-fi pixellated style. text on the left has a header that reads "Scott is cuddling his dog" and two paragraphs: "Welcome, dear friend, to my little slice of the web. This is where you’ll find whatever piece of myself I have been able to plonk into the ether. Take a look around. It’s sparse I know, but that’s the joy of a space, right? Maybe soon it’ll be a place." on the right is an ascii art depiction of the 'devil horns' hand gesture, mocked up to look like a retro application window with "da-horns-babeyyy.txt" in it's 'menu bar'.

logarithmic type scales in @penpot.app for free just because they do tokens like normal fuckin humans instead of [gestures at whatever that absolute mess in Figma is]
Editing a token in Penpot. A form with a Name field with a value of 'font.size.5' and a Value field with a value of '{font.size.4} * {math.font.scale}'.

Besides, you can only fix so much “in post” — imagine finding a typo in a code snippet in a recorded video? Just the idea would keep me up at night.

the blog is back babeyyy
A screenshot of a humble web page. The section title is "Rest your bones and peruse some words", and it features a grid of three articles: "The Interminable Pursuit of an Anticapitalist Web", "On AI and the commoditisation of design", and "Embracing contradiction in design".

couldn't get @strange.website's WDC talk out my head. had to build a new home. i am once again asking you to not judge me for redesigning my site scott.is
A screenshot of a web page. on the left is content that reads "Scott is trying his best. Once again my personal site became a professional site and now I am making it a personal site again. Also it was hosted on Vercel, and absolutely fuck that. Until then, you can take a look at Mindful Design or hit me up on Bluesky." On the right is an ASCII portrait of me.

A white and ginger dog sat on a blue couch looking dolefully into the camera. She is cute as heck. Her name is Lorna. I wish you could meet her and give her belly rubs. L

One of these is called Zed. One is called Zen. How many times per day do I get them confused? Yes.
two very similar looking app icons, both featuring multiple white geometric shapes on a black background, making them very difficult to tell apart at a glance.
